For some 800 years the Irish have been the butt of many a joke. Images of 'the stupid Irish Paddy' are handed down from generation to generation. But just why is so much leg-pulling committed against the Irish? Denys Hawthorne examines some of the myths and asks why the British feel the need to belittle the Irish.

The effects of 1997 on Hong Kong's religious communities.
From temple to tower block, the length and breadth of the Colony, the sound of fortune sticks and religious rituals is in the air. Eighty-five per cent of Hong Kong's population claims religious or superstitious beliefs of some sort - beliefs which have been the source of considerable conflict and pain in China itself since 1949. Rosemary Hartill , the BBC's Religious
Affairs Correspondent, seeks out the religious believers of Hong Kong, and looks at the problems facing them as 1997 approaches.

About this project
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.
