| BBC Radio Programmes: ‘Factual’
The BBC produce a lot of programmes for TV and radio that offer a very useful and high quality resource of up to date information on a range of topics that might coincide with your chosen subjects. Some of these programmes are featured regularly in the BBC schedules; others are mini-series whilst some are one-off programmes. On the BBC website you will find categories of such factual programmes; here is a list of just some of these categories for RADIO 4: Arts, Media and Culture Politics Science and Nature Consumer Health and Well-being Below is a list of programme titles that feature as BBC regular broadcasts. In pairs, see if you can work out from the title (some are obvious) which category the programme might fit in to. Two of the titles have been made up; see if you can work out which ones: Woman’s Hour You and Yours Front Row Shared Planet Word of Mouth Making History School Matters In Touch Lost Worlds File on Four All in the Mind Check-up Thinking Allowed The Media Show The Film Programme More or Less Circle the numbers of the programmes that you think might be able to provide you with information for your studies. Extension: The BBC also has a channel that is broadcast globally called The World Service. Check the BBC website for this channel and list all of the science programmes that it broadcasts. If you can, choose a science programme that sounds good, listen to the broadcast and takes notes on its contents. Most of the programmes are available as podcasts for you to download.
