Guide to format for Programme List entries

An example of a entry in the Programme List table which is annotated using comments.

! Broadcast date !! Title!! Contributors
<!-- Details for new programme row should go below here -->
|-
|<!-- Column 1: Broadcast date --> [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_20081016.shtml 16 October 2008]
|<!-- Column 2: Title (with subtitle) --> '''[[Vitalism]]''' - the spark of life
|<!-- Column 3: Contributors --> Patricia Fara, Andrew Mendelsohn, Pietro Corsi
<!-- end of programme entry -->
|-

The result will should appear like this:

Broadcast date Title Contributors
16 October 2008 Vitalism - the spark of life Patricia Fara, Andrew Mendelsohn, Pietro Corsi

(Note: The Broadcast Date is also used an external link to the programmes webpage in the archive on the IOT website. The url/weblink to the webpage for any programme will be http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_yyyymmdd.shtml, where 'yyyymmdd' is the date of broadcast.)

Revised note: This formula, based on the broadcast date, did not apply to older programmes when the complete archive of the series available online and no longer applies for any of the programmes following the recent revision of the official IOT website and archive. The external links from about 2002 onwards will need to be update.

Removed the 18 Mar 2004 episode The Roman Empire's Decline and Fall as it's a rebroadcast of the 5 Apr 2001 episode The Roman Empire's Collapse in the 5th century. Source Tom Morris, IOT Producer, comment 32 on IOT Blog, and the content available from the listen again links on the aforementioned episode pages.173.3.179.154 (talk) 00:49, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Needs updating

This programme will now need updating, as the programme on Cleopatra has now been broadcast as of today (Thursday 2 December) - the next programme will be on Edison. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 22:05, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The programme on Edison has now been broadcast, so can some one please update this page? Thank youACEOREVIVED (talk) 22:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update on May 5 2011

I have just heard the programme on May 5 2011, and it is now history to call the programme on Islamic law "the next programme". The next programme will be on Richard Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy". I have tried to update the article, but I shall be very appreciative if some one more skilled at tabulation than me could change the presentation of this article so it appears in the table neatly. While I am here, can I say that I do not think this article should really keep saying "Next programme" - would it not be more precise to include precise dates, and to say "programme to be broadcast on"? Just a thought - feedback will be welcome. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:06, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again, updates are needed - the programme on Xenophon has been broadcast and the next programme is on the Battle of Stamford Bridge. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 10:57, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again updates needed (this time badly)

The article should say that the programme broadcast on June 9 will be about immunology. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 09:38, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought on a title change

This article is called "List of "In Our Time" programmes. I wonder whether it might be better being called "List of "In Our Time" episodes?" Just a thought. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:20, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think so. I tend to associate an 'episode' more with drama than factual works, "edition" might be a better word but "programme" seems a suitably neutral term. When I created this article I retained the title of the section of the main IOT article in which it was originally included.--Jojas (talk) 10:07, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
