r Martin Wainwright begins a new three-part exploration of contemporary Russia through the themes and settings of three great Russian novels. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The story of Rodion Raskolnikov , an impoverished student who convinces himself that he has the right to murder an old moneylender. The settings of the novel, first published in 1866, are easily recognisable in modern St Petersburg. There are also many echoes in Russia today of the social upheaval and widespread poverty described by Dostoyevsky. Producer Sue Waldram

By George W Fraser. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was just 19 years old when he published a theory that he believed would turn the whole field of astronomy upside down. The establishment was unimpressed. Sir Arthur Eddington , the "grand old man of astronomy", described it as "stellar buffoonery". Chandra was ridiculed and humiliated. But 50 years laterthis work won him a Nobel Prize. This is the moving story of his life-an inspiring tale of intellectual rags to riches.

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.
