Louis Pasteur
by NESTA PAIN
' It's a risk I should never have taken, Marie! An inoculation never given to any human being before! That it should end like this - my life's work - with the killing of a little boy of nine.'
The little boy was not killed and Louis Pasteur's life's work ended very differently — but to him the inoculation had been a great risk. This programme traces his life and work and shows why the inoculation was made

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.
