In Manchester's gay village a wedding reception isn't a regular event. But this time male couple Steve and Matt are registering their partnership and to them, it's a wedding. There are the usual worries: will their knees look too knobbly in their kilts and will Colin, the maid of honour, be able to find a hat to go with her peach dress? The story is told from three perspectives: Steve, Matt, and Steve's Granny, the matriarch of the family. How will she react to the rather colourful guest list? Jane Shepherd reports.Contributors

About this project
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.
