With months of long, dark evenings ahead perhaps now is the time to be thinking about taking up a hobby. Crochet, patchwork, maerame, embroidery are some usual ones. But what about etching, or poker-work, marquetry or batikwork? Two experts and enthusiasts Laye Andrew and Sally Tarrant Willis will answer, encourage and advise on any craft you think you may be interested in.
Sue MacGregor is in the Chair.

Pay as You Learn
Some universities in Britain are now facing the prospect of bankruptcy - most will suffer severe cuts in staff and resources. At the same time, university students have asked for a 17-percent increase in their grants. Do they have any right to such "free handouts ' or should they pay their own way?
Lord Harris of High Cross, economist and council member of Britain's first private university, believes that students should pay as they learn - relying on holiday jobs and loans to get them through.
At Exeter University, before an audience of students and their parents, lecturers and politicians, he has just ten minutes to put his case. Desmond Wilcox referees the ensuing debate.

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.
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.
