: Vicars' Wives
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

She's also constantly thwarted by her characters, who keep leaping off the page into her living room to challenge her about their plotlines.Producer Dawn Ellis

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.
