I think it'll be £3.90 when it is released.
Release date should be: Saturday 5th December (in the south/Midlands) Schedule: Saturday 19th December 2015 through to Friday 1st January 2016 |

However, if anyone wants to do a January Quiz based on the previous Christmas' TV schedules, I think that would be great fun and I would be only happy to participate. It could become a tradition. |

In December 2012 I started the 2013 countdown thread and got a certain amount of flack! I didn't have the courage to do it again, so well done and thank you to Only_You. I will enjoy reading this through the year.
Now, a terrible confession: my first Christmas 2015 - yes, 2015 - catalogue arrived in the post yesterday! It's from Park Christmas Savings Club, which used to be called Park Hampers but now sells all sorts of things. I have never bought anything from a savings or hamper company, but it's fun to see the Cadbury's, Mars and Nestle selection boxes and, when the goods appear in the shops in September, find out if the designs are the same! Sad? Maybe. Fun? Definitely! |

I have been speaking by PM with the winner velixa
She will be sent her prize but isn't worried about having the honour of starting the new thread for 2015. So that honour now goes to Only_You who was 2nd out of the hat! So really we have TWO winners!

a) increase advertising b) get rid of the Your RT section or c) have 1 page of choices. or do all 3 if they have to. it is a kick in the teeth for loyal readers - and does nothing to entice new or casual readers. I think i will only buy the xmas edition now. |

I think i will only buy the xmas edition now. I suppose they think the average reader of Rt is of a higher pay bracket so can afford it I will renew my subscription using the offer I had £17 for 13 weeks but when that goes up that will be it - 40 years of buying it week in week out over |

I thought that due to Doctor Who and Sherlock having similar fans the BBC would cash in on this by airing them back to back. I also think due to Sherlock, this year will be the last time for a couple of years Downton Abbey airs on xmas day
I can see Brave or Wreck It Ralph taking the usual animation afternoon slot. Though I have a feeling Ralph will be on New Years day with series 4 of Sherlock kicking off at 9pm. |
