Bren and Hilly believe that ties to men are unreliable. Over time, men leave or they die. Only women friends survive the test of time. So when Hilly breaks her wrist she asks Bren to come and help her out, Bren drops everything. Together they anticipate the sweet female pleasures of long days, drinking, cooking, talking and comfortably trashing the years they were apart - that interlude of men. And so they do, until Bren finds out something about Hilly she didn't know before. Written by Lesley Bruce.Producer Claire Grove ; Director Steven Canny

Eurovision Song Contest. "Norway - nul points" may no longer be true, but is it possible there might have been some collaboration between member states of the Eurovision Song Contest to keep Norway at the bottom of the pile? Since the late 1980s, media observers have noticed that some pairs of countries routinely give high scores to each other. There are suspicions that voting partnerships might now be turning into voting blocs. Are such phenomena statistically significant, or can they be explained by chance? Derek Gatherer, who has made a comparison of Eurovision Contest results, has some unusual answers. He joins Quentin Cooper to discuss collusive voting alliances.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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
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.
