: Does He Take Sugar?
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland....... it's a very different world for disabled people. Welfare benefits are fewer and much more is expected of voluntary organisations than in the UK, as witnessed by the excellent services provided for mentally-handicapped people in Cork by the Cork Polio and General After-Care Association. In Dublin, Ireland's close involvement with other EEC countries has led to the creation of Roslyn Park National
Training College. The college provides training facilities for disabled people second to none and is now a show-piece throughout Europe. Kevin Mulhern and Marlene Pease report

: Study on 4
Happily Ever After? It's easier to talk about death than it is to talk openly about step-families. One in three marriages in Britain today is a re-marriage -in 90 per cent there are children involved. The main focus of social concern and advice tends to be on the children. But what of the five million step-parents? What are their difficulties and anxieties? MAVIS NICHOLSON talks to some of the experts (sociologists and psychologists) and to the step-parents themselves who speak out intimately and frankly and offer some encouragement to others in a similar situation.

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.
