Your questions answered long wave only: Little Dorrit
by CHARLES DICKENS dramatised intenepisodes by BETTY DAVIES7: The Mighty Merdle
There was a sympathetic understanding established between Little Dorrit and the young Mrs Gowan and they had a new assurance of congeniality in the aversion which each perceived that the other felt towards Blandois of Paris; an aversion amounting to repugnance and horror of a natural antipathy towards an odious creature of the reptile kind. To both of them, Blandois behaved in exactly the same manner: it was as if he had said, ' I have a secret power in this quarter. I know what I know.'

: Saturday-Night Theatre: Girl at Risk
by Allan Priorwith John Bott as Inspector Savage and Henry Knowles as Sergeant Eaves
When Inspector Savage and Sergeant Eaves are attached to a case involving an attack on a young girl, there's more to be revealed than the guilty person. There's the attitude of Savage and Eaves to their work, and of the public to crime in general. As the two policemen track down the assailant, is there more than the girl at risk?

: The Most Wonderful Being
Helen Keller' I seldom think of my limitations, and they never make me sad.... I believe that all through these dark and silent years God has been using my life for a purpose I do not know. But one day I shall. understand, and then I will be satisfied.'
Helen Keller , one of the most remarkable women of her time, was born 100 years ago this month. Blind and deaf from the age of two she became a world-famous figure and a tireless worker for those with similar handicaps.

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.
Your use of this version of Genome is covered by the BBC Acceptable Use of Information Systems Policy and these terms.
