A big thank you to all those who organised this year's cover competition and supplied the prizes.
If you look at my post #90 the minute I heard about this programme I had a feeling that they would go with an Aardmann themed cover for the 3rd time in 8 years As for starting the next years thread I think that honour should go to either Claires_dad for running the competition and his wonderful website, wizzywick for his Christmas quiz and supplying the prize or marke09 for being the only other one who mentioned Shaun the sheep in his guess I will leave it up to you three to come to a decision amongst yourselves. Thanks again p.s never sent a private message before so can you confirm you received my address ![]() I would like to thank Claire's Dad for running the contest, and I hope that he can do the same again next year. |

I understand the Christmas Radio Times will be available from tomorrow in London and the Midlands. Does anyone know if that's all of the Midlands or just part?
We've always got the same edition as London here in the Midlands, but I don't think I've ever seen the Christmas RT on sale here on the Saturday. |

Wow, so after another 364 days we are on the eve of the Christmas radio times being in our grasps. I look forward to seeing who gets a copy first; another tradition of this thread
![]() I also agree that the total TV guide with Santa trumps the radio times (they are very close to loosing their self proclaimed legendary status) I saw the countryfile magazine in the shops today and longed for something like their traditional design to grace the radio times again ( see link) https://pocketmags.com/viewmagazine....yfile+Magazine |

Total TV Guide Christmas was always by far a better mag than RT in my opinion, from the festive cover to channels covered. And looks like they didn't disappoint this year either.

My time hosting this thread is coming to an end .....
![]() However, a huge congrats to the winner of the Radio Times Cover this year! I think the cover is pretty good actually but I find it slightly odd that a programme they feel is popular and mainstream enough to put on the front cover of RT has not even got a Christmas Day slot . I would have loved to see STS slotted in somewhere on the big day itself. For the first time ever, I am really not engaged and excited about this years Christmas Day schedule. Everything feels even more 'samey' than usual. Ratings are down every year and most are putting that down to more channels, DVDs etc. However, I think a huge contributing factor is that people are just bored of the same old programmes. Christmas Day used to feel special and unique - there is nothing special or unique about this years schedule IMO. |

There's not a chance Christmas Day telly would ever be a match for years gone by, there's just too much choice nowadays what with Sky and the likes. And besides, there's little money being pumped into Christmas by BBC or ITV and that much is evident probably because Satellite killed Christmas.
I for one won't be tuning into any terrestrial channel on Christmas Day, not even for 5 minutes. Christmas RT is nothing more than a formality now. |

It seems to have been today - I live in Peterborough and was able to get that (and another one - I think it was TV and Satellite Week) at lunchtime.
I know it's in the picture, but here's a closer look at Total TV Guide (sorry about the flash):

Just bought Christmas Radio Times. As proof, Kylie is the inside back cover interview and Christmas Day listings start on p.170.

No sign of the Christmas Radio Times in Derby as yet, I've been into several places but no sign. Have seen one or two other Christmas tv magazines out but they've only just arrived by the look of it.

My humble opinion is that you should open it as soon as possible. It's your baby so don't let a pesky mischief maker start it before you have had the chance. Start it this weekend if you like. Just because it is created and open doesn't mean it should be posted in until late December. We can still use this one until after your ratings game has closed.
What do others think? |

Ladies and Gentleman,
Guess the Cover Competition : The Results The decision came down to the two people who said it would be a Shaun the Sheep cover, judomole and Marke09 I've decided that the WINNER is judomole with Marke09 a close second! Thanks again to everyone who took part - same again next year? Congrats to judomole! |

And I'm sure someone said "Shaun the Sheep in full Christmas mode"! Can't think who it might have been though...
Congrats to judomole!

Yes indeed you did and you came a close 3rd, if only you'd mentioned it would be based on the new Farmers Llamas episode or the other characters as well!

Spotted in a bulkflow in Morrisons, Redditch, still in polythene wrap and nylon ties at 7am. Neither Sainsburys nor Tesco seem to have them
