Christianity and the WorldOrder. 2: Ministers of Change The Rev Dr Edward Norman , Dean of Peterhouse, Cambridge, argues that in recent years there has been a large measure of Christian sympathy for Marxist movements seeking the replacement of the existing order in areas of South-East Asia, Southern Africa and Latin America. The preparedness of Christian opinion to follow the diagnosis of world issues propagated by left-wing political agencies was amply illustrated by the response to the Chilean coup in 1973. In his view it is the World Council of Churches that most specifically engages in the detailed application of contemporary political doctrines, with very questionable results.

What is News?Who should decide the contents of a newspaper or a radio bulletin: the State or the journalist? Should the definition of news value be changed according to the circumstances and attitudes of the people to whom information is addressed? These questions are at the heart of the growing debate about the ' relevance ' of the mass media to the Third World. They form the basis of a UNESCO report published this month. And they are discussed by a panel of contributors In the developed and developing world in this international discussion programme chaired by John Tusa.

Sir John Gielgud , in the third of 11 programmes. talks to JOHN MILLER about his life in the theatre.3: Those Great Creatures
'Agate said that Mrs Patrick Campbell as Mrs Alving in Ghosts was like " the Lord Mayor's coach with nothing in it ". In the great scene when I have to tell her that I've got brain disease, she'd taught me most carefully how to say this line: " You must speak with a channel-steamer voice, Pinero showed me how to do it." And as I was saying it on the first performance, she turned round with her back to the audience and said: " Oh, I'm so hungry " - which wasn't exactly helpful:'

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.
