NEM p 93; Come, let us join our cheerful songs (BBC HB 122); Psalm 15; Colossians 1, vv 9b-20; O Jesus, I have promised (BBC HB 360). Stereo: Not National, Not Parks
The National Parks of England and Wales are unique. They are neither 'national' nor 'parks'. Each of the ten is run autonomously. A quarter of a million people live within their boundaries. The bulk of the land remains in private hands, much of it subject to the fashions of farming. Roads. industry, foresters, soldiers and developers jostle to place their mark on a landscape which was chosen so that young and old 'could enjoy the sight and gain spiritual value from unspoilt nature'.Almost 40 years after the first park appeared on the maps Eric Robson examines the pressures on the parks and talks to those who juggle to preserve their integrity. Producer MARY PRICE BBC Bristol

Desire and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind her place in cinema history would be secure. It was an incredible achievement that an English girl with her stage background and no power base in Hollywood should make off with two of the greatest roles in American movies - and win
Oscars for both performances. Producer WENDY CLAY

: Analysis
A Labour of LoveLabour's third consecutive electoral defeat has sparked a debate on the future direction of democratic socialism in Britain. Within the party voices have been raised calling not only for constitutional and electoral reform, but for a fundamental re-orientation of policy. Where might such a re-orientation take the Labour Party?
Where should the balance lie between pragmatism and ideology? Presented by Professor A. H. Halsey Producer CAROLINE ANSTEY

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.
Your use of this version of Genome is covered by the BBC Acceptable Use of Information Systems Policy and these terms.
