Guess the RT cover : Entries so far

1) Anthony_Ryan : A traditional nativity scene with the baby Jesus, Joseph, the Virgin Mary, Shepherds and the 3 wise men.

2) BadSignal : A Robin in A Snow filled scene

3) Only_You : The characters from ''Stickman' in a festive scene (Santa makes an appearance somewhere!)

4) wizzywick : A knitted effect. Either in the form of a traditional knitted jumper with snowflakes or snowman or a traditional scene. But, whatever the cover reveals itself to be it will appear to have the look that it has been created by knitting with wool

5) judomole : The Cover will be Shaun the sheep based on the new episode "The Farmers Lama"
Featuring Shaun and the rest of the flock, Bitzer the dog the Farmer and a lama gathered round a Christmas tree with snow in the background

6) altally : My guess is a Santa theme, similar to 1991, 1995, and 1997

7) marke09 : A Shaun the Sheep special from Aardman -
The farmer will be dressed as Santa handing out presents to Bitzer and Shaun, with Timmy dressed as an elf
In the background will be the rest of the sheep trying to decorate a Christmas tree but a string of lights will be around the biggest sheep -
the pigs will be dressed as the three wise men.
Also in the background will be the farmhouse with Santa's reindeer and sleigh on the roof and Santas wellies sticking out from the chimney pot.
It will also be an interactive cover so when you use an app it will have Shaun bleating MERRRRRY Christmas

8) Ian_Stevens : Cover to incorporate Sherlock and the Tardis to publicise both shows with a "Christmasy" background

9) pedrok : A traditional snowy village scene.

11) smokeycat : a big Christmas pudding, maybe with a robin

12) Claires_dad : a Sherlock cover with Sherlock Holmes and Watson in a snowy Victorian London

13) Aaron_Cardwell : I think we will see a traditional cover comprising of a snowman and a robin will be perched on his twig arm. With Santa 'whooshing' off above the night sky

14) FootballFan87 : Santa delivering presents, flying in the sky

15) SHANK0055 : A large fireplace with a roaring fire, Christmas garland, stockings hung etc

18) tanni1930 : the cast of Downton Abbey in a Christmassy scene

19) cully83 : It will be a typical cobbled street in London. Like something you would see in Sherlock, the street will be covered in snow and by an old street lamp will be the Tardis with snow on top. The street will also be decorated with christmas lights

20) FishyFish : Baubles on a Christmas tree decorated with silhouetted cameo-style images of characters and items from this year's shows (Tardis, Holmes, stick men etc.)

21) andys corner : a festive scene involving the stars of call the midwife

22) Batfink : Santa and his reindeer classic scene

24) Aaronub4t : A small child peering through the window of an old Victorian shop with lots of toys inside

25) Allan : Shaun the sheep in full Christmas mode

26) blueisthecolour : Sherlock Holmes related: Specifically a close up of the door of 221B Baker Street with a Christmas Wreath containing small Sherlock related items

29) Cactus_Dave : Animation drawing style of Sherlock and Watson (in classic Holmes costume) searching with magnify glasses at footprints on a snow filled street with the subject of the footprints being Father Christmas smiling from inside a house, his sleigh on top of the house. Will be set in classic Holmes times

30) Pizzatheaction : a drawing of Santa's legs, with a dog tearing Santa's sack, and lots of balls dropping out, each with a picture of a TV show inside

31) pembo2004 : a Santa with presents

34) arunan22 : Sherlock related...likely Sherlock and Watson outside their Baker Street house, with the house decorated for Xmas and a tree outside

35) Midsblue : Santa, flying in his sleigh and The Stickman in the sleigh with him

36) davads : a mantelpiece with a row of Christmas cards, one or more of which may be the RT Christmas cards which they're offering to readers

Hopefully it's just a pre-programme sponsored ident. If not, it's awful - especially with the load of sponsorship text.

Not that I ever watch all that much on Channel 5 I suppose.

I must say I expected more from Channel Five being one of the big five broadcasters.
Lets hope the BBC have a fresh new selection of idents for the 2015 season. I do love seeing them flash up before Strictly :')
I think the BBC are likely to reveal there ident on either 5th or 12th December.. so not long to go now at all.

Almost completely forgot about getting in my guess! What a disaster that would have been after waiting for this for so long! As I mentioned earlier in the year I think that there's a strong chance it will be another special commission by an artist with some link to Christmas viewing, so I'm going with:

A specially-commissioned illustration by (Stickman/Gruffalo artist) Axel Scheffler of a mixed-age group of carol singers under a lantern, perhaps with children throwing snowballs and someone eating a mince pie.

Something with a similar look/feel as this would be a nice cover I think.

Guess the RT cover : Entries so far

1) Anthony_Ryan : A traditional nativity scene with the baby Jesus, Joseph, the Virgin Mary, Shepherds and the 3 wise men.

2) BadSignal : A Robin in A Snow filled scene

3) Only_You : The characters from ''Stickman' in a festive scene (Santa makes an appearance somewhere!)

4) wizzywick : A knitted effect. Either in the form of a traditional knitted jumper with snowflakes or snowman or a traditional scene. But, whatever the cover reveals itself to be it will appear to have the look that it has been created by knitting with wool

5) judomole : The Cover will be Shaun the sheep based on the new episode "The Farmers Lama"
Featuring Shaun and the rest of the flock, Bitzer the dog the Farmer and a lama gathered round a Christmas tree with snow in the background

6) altally : My guess is a Santa theme, similar to 1991, 1995, and 1997

7) marke09 : A Shaun the Sheep special from Aardman -
The farmer will be dressed as Santa handing out presents to Bitzer and Shaun, with Timmy dressed as an elf

the pigs will be dressed as the three wise men.
Also in the background will be the farmhouse with Santa's reindeer and sleigh on the roof and Santas wellies sticking out from the chimney pot.

The Guess the Christmas Radio Times Cover Competition is now CLOSED !

NO MORE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED

Thanks to everyone who has taken part - a record 53 entries as follows!


1) Anthony_Ryan : A traditional nativity scene with the baby Jesus, Joseph, the Virgin Mary, Shepherds and the 3 wise men.

2) BadSignal : A Robin in A Snow filled scene

3) Only_You : The characters from ''Stickman' in a festive scene (Santa makes an appearance somewhere!)

4) wizzywick : A knitted effect. Either in the form of a traditional knitted jumper with snowflakes or snowman or a traditional scene. But, whatever the cover reveals itself to be it will appear to have the look that it has been created by knitting with wool

5) judomole : The Cover will be Shaun the sheep based on the new episode "The Farmers Lama"
Featuring Shaun and the rest of the flock, Bitzer the dog the Farmer and a lama gathered round a Christmas tree with snow in the background

6) altally : My guess is a Santa theme, similar to 1991, 1995, and 1997

7) marke09 : A Shaun the Sheep special from Aardman -
The farmer will be dressed as Santa handing out presents to Bitzer and Shaun, with Timmy dressed as an elf
In the background will be the rest of the sheep trying to decorate a Christmas tree but a string of lights will be around the biggest sheep -
the pigs will be dressed as the three wise men.
Also in the background will be the farmhouse with Santa's reindeer and sleigh on the roof and Santas wellies sticking out from the chimney pot.
It will also be an interactive cover so when you use an app it will have Shaun bleating MERRRRRY Christmas

8) Ian_Stevens : Cover to incorporate Sherlock and the Tardis to publicise both shows with a "Christmasy" background

9) pedrok : A traditional snowy village scene.

10) StuL42 : Santa, with sack of gifts, putting gifts under a Christmas tree
