: The Greying of America
America, for so long regarded as the land of the young, is rapidly ageing. Teenagers are now outnumbered by the over-65s. Within 40 years it is estimated that 60 per cent of the population will be over 70 and the country's the first in the world to push up the retirement age to 67 for men and women.Marjorie Lofthouse examines our reaction to what is seen as one of the more difficult social and economic problems of the 21st century. She talks to social workers and politicians and looks at the psychology of the body's ageing process.

(Repeated: Wed 1.40 pm): The Luxury of Decent Compromises
Three programmes on literary life in HungaryWritten and presented by Norman di Giovanni 1: Writers
As a child, Otto Orban was encouraged to write poetry to help him get over the trauma of three weeks' imprisonment in a Budapest basement. The life stories of many contemporary Hungarian writers mirror the country's violent history. This has influenced how and what they write, but it also has a great impact on how the writer views his job. with OTTO ORBAN.

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.
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.
