RT covers: red or green cartoonish Christmas tree, depending on which one (of two) you buy.
Interesting you should say that. I saw just this on a rotating billboard outside Tesco, advertising it and saying on sale from 3rd Dec ( i am in Sussex). If it is indeed the cover i think its safe to say it has to be the worst one ever.
I went into my local tescos today to get a 2nd to 9th Dec issue, and they said weve taken em down to accomodate for 10/16 Dec, do you think they would have em at back of shop, is it worth me tying other places, or would all shops, have taken em down to fit the new ones.
I know the christmas edition, they normally have placed in special cardboard things, so no doubt those 10/16 ones could be on shelf for 2 weeks.
The shop by me still has them in, so probably worth asking

They are not due for return to wholesalers until next Tuesday so should be plenty around
the guardian website has unveiled the cover of the Christmas RT on the day before its london release in the past few years. might be worth having a look tomorrow.
I think there are some good things on this year, BBC1 and probably ITV seem to have spread stuff across the week..some good cheesey films on in the afternoons and some comedy repeats..at least there is no Cash in the Attic during day time..lolol, I'm sure that ITV will have some films and drama repeats during the festive week too!..with the BBC cuts etc I think it's ok, not good or a vintage year but its ok! We are lucky as the American networks don't bother as it's all reruns of their big shows during Christmas, at least we get a few specials and comedy!
Well everyone, 1 day to go until it is officially on sale (even if most of us can't get it!). Thank you all for making this an enjoyable, humourous and sometimes lively debated countdown!
Well I'm glad the BBC decided to spread its programming across the period. Thankfully no Bargain Hunt etc. It is nice to see Specials from the past and random movies, things you would not necessarily buy but you may like. Overall, a good effort, yes the main days may look a bit thin but I think this is balanced about buy a more spread schedule.
I much prefer this to the previous offerings. Nice to see a return to the Christmassy style.
Although I much prefer the green, I don't really see the need for 2, other than to encorage people to buy 2 to complete their collection. I refuse, and will stick with the green!
Its better than last year, not my favourite ever but at least its a bit different. Actually seems like some time and effort has gone into making them rather than finding a picture of Wallace and Gromit and sticking Christmas hats on them.

Looks a bit garish to me, but it's very different to previous years!
bucket please, I feel sick!
Re-edit: After looking at it again, I really like it. Hope my local emporium stocks the predominantly green covered edition...

May look different "in the flesh".........won't be long before we find out.:)
The cover has a special gold print on it apparently.
Now, i wonder which idiot is going to start the 2012 countdown thread early?! :P
Someone already did- way back last year!
