The BBC is running a rather grandly titled web page "Genome" that lists back issues of the Radio Times, but it means you can see what was on TV (or radio only for the really ancient members of this site) on a given day

'The Runaway Slave '
A play for older children written and produced by Naomi Capon
Cast in order of appearance:
Designer, Richard Henry
Many people believed that ' Uncle Tom's Cabin,' published in 1852, was the greatest single blow struck against Negro slavery in the United States of America. But for a long time the author, Harriet Beecher Stowe , saw no evil in slavery and thought it was none of her business. This play, which is based on real events in her life, shows how she was forced to change her mind.

20.30: 'RAIN BEFORE SEVEN'
A play by Joyce Dennys
Produced by Chloe Gibson Designer.
Stephen Taylor
Queensland in December: the temperature is 115 degrees in the shade, the land is parched, and the cattle are weak; in the hot blue of the sky no cloud loiters with a promise of rain; and only the hopeful, stubborn courage of the pioneer sustains the farmers in their proud belief that they are working ' God's own country.'
It is an epithet which has a doubtful ring to the young bride out from England. Beginning a new life with her farmer husband in conditions separated by a polar distance from those she has known in her comfortable English home, Stella wilts amid the ' alien corn.' The odds seem against her. K.A.H.
