A new two-part documentary in which Edi Stark visits vicarages, rectories and manses throughout the country to talk to modern-day wives of clergymen. 1: 1 Don't Do Scones. It is traditionally assumed that a clergy wife should act as an unpaid curate, devoted to her partner's calling. Wearing a nose-stud is one way to counterthe stereotype, while another wife happily shops as her husband is preaching from the pulpit, but most women still feel the pressures of expectation to lead holy lives.
Although women, too, are now ordained, there is still church antipathy towards full equality in a traditionally patriarchal, hierarchical domain. Producer Edi Stark
A new four part comedy-drama by Michelle Read , starring Samantha Bond and Hugh Bonneville. 1: Lovelorn romance writer Anna is up against a deadline for her latest potboiler, a tale of love, suffering and jealousy. But her creative juices don't seem to be flowing as, after years of having a purely fictional love-life, she's met a real-live man. She's also constantly thwarted by her characters, who keep leaping off the page into her living room to challenge her about their plotlines.

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.
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.
