The Story of a Postal ParentWhat happens when a charitable sponsor in Britain wants to actually meet the Third World child she's helping? This is what a London woman. Clare McCarthy , wanted to do. For three years, she had been sending a pound a week through a charity to sponsor the education of a little Indian boy. As the bond grew, she decided she had to fly to India - to see him and his village.
Journalist Dennis Shutte accompanied Clare on her long trek to rural Andra Pradesh , recording her graphic impressions of childhood poverty along the way. And what of the encounter ... what did sponsor and child make of each other face to face?

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.
