email radio times themselves NOT subscriptions and am sure one will be sent to you otherise ask for some vouchers to make up for your loss - i did this once and got four free issues

If you have no luck after you have E - Mailed the Radio Times, I can keep my copies for you if you wish
and I will Post them out to you for a small fee or you can pick them up if you are in London or near London

Usually after phoning and/or E - Mailing them they usually add extra copies to your subscription to make up the loss of issues

I have had several issues over the past few years, I just found it easier E - Mailing them
and that is what they did, only on very rare occasions did they send out another copy
I just bought the copy from the local WH Smiths as they had some back issues

Hi,

Thanks for the kind offer but I wouldn't be keeping the issues had I received them, I like to read them in the run up to christmas to see what's on of course, I try to stay away from spoilers so it's a surprise when I read the magazine to see what's on, I don't even check digi guides etc so I'm still hoping they turn up before Saturday & also praying that I get my christmas double issue on Saturday as in my previous posts it was confirmed to me this morning that subscriber issues have been posted for the upcoming double issue so fingers crossed,

Thanks again,

Aaron.

I have just emailed radio times, is this the correct email? feedback@radiotimes.com ?

I don't want to go & buy them from my local newsagents as I paid a £1 for 12 issues so it defeats the object of me doing that in the first place, & I wanted the listings from the 5th so it's pointless them adding on 2 issues at the end when christmas has been & gone, I won't be re subscribing that's for sure, it's left a very sour taste all of this!!

Have any of you tried a Digital Copy of Radio Times, it's how I've been getting mine for w while, the editions have cost £1.99 and regular are available to buy the evening before the paper copy is out.

Be interesting to see if the Christmas Issue shows up Tommorrow Night.

I know Digital isn't for everyone,

Does anyone know when Programme Highlights will be released for week - 2nd - 8th Jan 2016? Will it be today or tomorrow or next week?

Is it like reading the magazine but on a tablet? Are the pages identical?

Yes, plus if like a program coming up has a preview video you can click on a link, and it sends you to YouTube.

The pages are the same, but you get a few extras

I really do not like that cover, Its a bit of a mess and nothing clearly stands out, The Santa looks a bit evil and not cheery and welcoming as i feel the cover should have been.

The cover is very average in my opinion. Actually much prefer last years. Best news though, Claire's dad is back on board for next year - Now he IS legendary!!

I've looked at a few times today. I must say I like it too. Very festive - and great fun!

The cover looks suitably festive to me. However, I agree there has been a bit of an over reliance on Wallace and Gromit covers over the last few years.

I prefer it to last year's which I still think was quite odd.

it say's this year the Christmas issue will be out in London and the Midlands instead of in London and the south so might not have to travel 20 miles from Leicester to Tesco's Long Eaton East Midlands like I did last year to get mine
