: A Long Hot Summer
Twenty years ago, rioters pelted police with bricks and petrol bombs on Railton Road, Brixton, during a weekend of furious street violence. Gerry Northam asks those involved on both sides what had gone wrong, and how much has been learnt from the disorder.[Caption] Gerry Northam looks back at the Brixton riots of 20 years ago and asks how much. or how little, things have changed
A Long Hot Summer 8.00pm R4
The violence in some British inner cities this summer makes this series of two programmes all the more appropriate, although the producers set out with the intention of marking an anniversary: it is 20 years since the Brixton and Toxteth riots that were to shake the first Thatcher government. Tonight's programe is about Brixton and reporter Gerry Northam talks to people who were involved on both sides of the barricades. He also examines the aftermath, in particular the findings of the inquiry by Lord Scarman, who recommended changes in police procedure. Has anything changed? If so, has it changed for the better? The Brixton riots were the culmination of longrunning distrust between the Metropolitan Police and the black community, a factor that has a clear echo 20 years on.

: Scientists under Pressure
In January this year India suffered what was probably the most destructive earthquake in its history. Official statistics suggest 20,000 died, although observers claim it could have been twice as many. Geologist Roger Bilham fears this could be a foretaste of a far more catastrophic event. His studies of the Himalayas suggest that northern India is overdue seven massive earthquakes, each one dwarfing the most recent. Disaster expert Bill McGuire joins Bilham in India as he probes the destructive forces that lurk within the subcontinent.EMAIL: [email address removed]

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.
