For me, the interior of the RT is the most festive for a very long time. I have previously said that I like the change of font on the main days listings pages - something the RT hasn't done since 1986. The colourful illustrations throughout are cheery and I like the inclusion of snowflakes on all the Choices pages. I am a little underwhelmed by its film review pages, it seems to be getting a little more "less" each year and the actual listings pages with the daytime in the left column, doesn't work at Christmas because there is less space to include full programme details.
I like the cover, but do concede that, whilst it is fun and festive, it isn't a classic one and I prefer last years. I do worry though, that for a casual annual buyer, the £4.00 cover price may be a little offputting. You can get the same listings details for much less and that is perhaps something the RT needs to consider in the future.
One thing though, I've skimmed through the pages and can't find the picture quiz. Has anyone else found it yet?
