From Archimedes to Stephen Hawking , penicillin to viagra, Chris Stuart returns with a celebrity panel at the Science Museum in the quiz that explores the world of discovery and inventions. With Lewis Wolpert , Adam Hart-Davis , Johnny Ball and Kevin Warwick. Compiled by Crispin Belcher.
Inspiration (1.30pm R4) returns today after an 18-month interval. Its aim is to demystify science and make it jolly and accessible. Carol Smith, the producer, insists that her eminent professorial contestants should make everything comprehensible to someone like her, who boasts of no scientific qualifications beyond CSE biology. Lewis Wolpert and Adam Hart-Davis (of Local Heroes on BBC 2) chair the teams. Their guests are Johnny Ball, father of Zoe and the man who was always asking us to Think of a Number, and the cybernetics guru Kevin Warwick - who recently had to buy an extra plane ticket for his robot cat.

His response was to paint one of his most striking paintings, which depicted his wife in the classical pose of a nude Venus but in a tropical setting, with a raven gazing over the scene. Professor John House explores the painting.

Richard Sennett, Centennial Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics, believes that economic change is having a profound effect on life in our cities. He tells Laurie Taylor that the shift to short-term patterns of employment has altered the way we use the urban environment. Modern cities, he says, have become neutral places which fail to provide physical stimulation for their inhabitants.

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.
