Parent PowerHow much control do you have over your child's education? Parents used to believe education was best left to the teachers. Now. more and more parents want to be in partnership with the schools. Who should decide which reading method the school uses, and whether to teach tables or new maths? Can you transfer your child from one school to another without moving house? If you think your child is not being taught well, can you do anything about it? And will the education your child is receiving prepare him for life?
Dr Eric Midwinter of the National Consumer Council and Maureen O'Connor. Editor of Education Guardian are in the studio to answer your questions and hear your experiences of being a ' consumer in education.
Sue MacGregor is in the Chair Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit

A Cry ... Almost a Scream by JANE BEESON with Maurice Denham as the Man and Rosemary Leach as the Woman'Some of 'em that comes in 'ere each day comes in with the same pile of things. It ain't cleanliness they're after, it's talk. Look at those two sitting over there. They've been coming in the last four Mondays to meet. They get so wrapped up in each other. they don't notice anyone else.

: Let's Talk About Me
From earliest times, talking about oneself has been seen as helpful in solving problems, or at least making one feel better about them. During the last 50 years, doctors, psychologists and others, have attempted to harness the beneficial effects of talking, in the practice of psychotherapy. In a series of six programmes, Dr Anthony Clare gives his personal assessment of the present state of psychotherapy in its many forms.5: Can it Make Me Feel More Completet

: The Defect
Ian Kennedy. Lecturer in Law at King's College. London, in the second of two programmes, examines the moral implications of society's response to defective children. Recently it has become possible to detect ante-nalally the presence of a foetus with spina bifida-a defect that may lead to paralysis and mental retardation. Should we. therefore. institute a nationwide screening programme for foetuses with spina bifida, or are the financial costs and the costs in terms of unintended damage to otherwise healthy foetuses unacceptable?

This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
