(Re-broadcast tomorrow at 1. 40pm): Relative Values
3: The Bush FamilyIn this series of four family portraits, Michael O'Donnell explores how shifting social and moral attitudes in Britain have affected family life.
Are we more self-seeking, less compassionate than we were, with standards slipping and family ties loosening to the point of disinterest - even disloyalty? Or are we now turning our backs on 'permissiveness', in order to embrace some vague notion of the Victorian ethic?
The Bush family uphold and maintain the special values of a Christian family life. How do they fit into an increasingly secular society - and do they, or their children, feel a need to adapt?

3: The Lion of RomeThere is a message beyond common sense which has been carried down the centuries by a wild confusion of characters - emperors, geniuses, holy prostitutes, gourmet hermits, sharp-witted abbesses, multi-murderers, madmen and poets. That message imprinted itself on the world nearly 2,000 years ago on a hill called Calvary.
Brian Redhead continues his
12-part religious relay race towards the Middle Ages. This week he examines the fifth century and the world of Leo, the Bishop of Rome supposed to have lost his heart and fingers to a married woman. What lay behind the flying deterrent which dissuaded Attila the Squat from invading Rome, and what was the eighth deadly sin? Reader MICHAEL TUDOR BARNES Researcher RUTH BEN-OR

FM joins at 12. 10amAbout 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.
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.
