The Official Christmas Radio Times 2014 Countdown Thread
Well here we go again folks. It seems customary to start the new thread once the previous years edition is released.
Last years Cover: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-...-2013-revealed The copy should be due out in the South East on Saturday 6th December 2014. The christmas edition will span from Saturday 20th December 2014 until Friday 2nd January 2015. I predict the price to be £3.50 Hopefully the Cover Competition will commence in November 2014 - TBC (many thanks to Clare's Dad for running this as it's much appreciated and a bit of good fun I look forward to all the festive chat and banter throughout the year. |

It's customary to start the thread once everyone has received their copy!

I thought that rule had been revoked after the postal copies debacle of a couple of years ago when many subscribers received their copy late or even after Christmas?

The way the circulation is dropping it probably won't be around in 2014

I predict the cover will be the snowdog with snowman & santa in background and an application form inside for broadcasters to bid for the following years cover!

I'm sorry for being a little premature in starting it. Was never meaning to offend anyone or break any gentlemen's agreement. In hindsight should have probably waited another week.
Apologies again. Let's just hope in 11 and 1/2 months time we have a more original cover than this years with a little more thought going into it. It's a little annoying. Especially given the fact that the 2013 edition makes a big deal of discussing and recreating classic covers from years gone by. You would have thought there may have been something more special this year. I would love to see a real 'retro' style cover for 2014. Anyway, look forward to another year of discussion |

Well done for starting this Batfink! I kicked off the 2013 countdown but got well and truly pasted by the "get a life" brigade so I was too much of a coward to do it again! It's great and I look forward to the thread developing through the year. It goes so quickly!

See you again in this thread once News of 2014's Christmas offerings are announced. Although we already know one. BBC1 are to show a BBC in-house production of the Roald Dahl fantasy Esio Trot starring Judi Dench and Dustin Hoffman! Yes, Dustin Hoffman! How cool is that? See you all soon. |

Another 20p price increase now £1.80 and not even an apology or excuse for the price rise just subscribe and get a book!
Beginning to think they pricing themselves out of the market - the amount of Christmas issues of RT left in my local supermarkets is emabarrasing |

Checking the price was the first thing I did when my copy came through the letterbox.
I notice they've given all the non-listings pages a new look.

i am going to have to complain to RT. £1.80 for a weekly listings magazine is too much.
It has gone up from £1.20 to £1.80 in 3 years. Whos gonna pay £2.00 in 2015 ? |

Another 20p increase - the third since 2012. This is getting silly now. £1.80 for a TV Guide?
Surley they are shooting themselves in the foot as the number of readers will fall further? RT only ever used to rise by 5p or 10p at the most before 2011. Why dont they just have a 10p increase and give over 3 or 4 more pages to advertisments? |
