: Who's Afraid of the Bomb?
Twenty years ago the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was at its height. The Aldermaston crowds massing in Trafalgar Square were the largest since VE Day. That autumn the Labour Party Annual Conference voted for unilateral disarmament.Today Jonathan Dimblcby asks Who's Afraid of the Bomb? A BBC opinion poll confirms that many of us are ' worried ' or ' very worried ', yet few of us are doing anything about it - either by campaigning or even by seeking more information. Why?

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.
