I bought one once but felt it was a waste of time as the spoilers aren't new and we can get instant spoilers on DS for example.

I buy Inside Soap for the interviews more than anything, or the TV Times, but not every week whereas I used to, as you can access spoilers on DS.

Magazines can get costly and to be honest if you're like me, I tend to stack magazines up and never bin them for some reason. The interviews are good but spoilers can be viewed on the internet at any time.
but usually now I only buy magazines if I'm going on holiday or something or when Inside Soap & All About Soap are on offer, like in Tesco's you could get both for £2.50 a few weeks ago.

I buy TV Choice, more for the TV Guide than for the spoilers... I prefer looking in that to see what's on TV rather than scrolling through the TV guide all the time on the actual TV.

I think they are a load of rubbish and drum up storylines into nothing. I used to read them all the time and about 80 per cent of what they report is not really what happens on screen.

The mrs buys tv choice for the tv guide, The covers make me laugh sometimes with "XXXXX dead!?!" and then the spoilers do not match the headline :P

One thing I've noticed with soap mags is if a headline ends with a question it's made up but if it ends with an exclamation mark then it's true

I get TV Choice. I can't work out half the things on my TV so use a magazine for a TV guide
The soap magazines are expensive and of course I can get soaps info on here so I just have TV Choice.

I used to get tv quick or choice but no longer bother. I only watch emmerdale daily, everything else is flicking channels and settling on something

Although it should be renamed What's On 'Enders, judging by the amount of times its characters are the main pic the front cover. ![]() I occasionally buy Inside Soap, but I never bother with Soaplife or All About Soap, and their reliably daft headlines. |

Inside soap tends to have more information on the articles from their inside sources but all about soap and soaplife give you new information for the two weeks and a preview of the third.

Haven't bought them for years. My mum buys the odd one.

I have masses of magazines dating back to 2005. I just can't bring myself to throw them away...

Yes. Inside soap. The rest aren't as good in my opinion. But as a family we get the TV times. But I don't think it's as good as it used to be. I'm sure it used to have more in it. As it seemed thicker in weight years ago.

I've buying Inside Soap pretty much consistently every week since I was 12! So 8 years, very rarely do I not buy it. I think at this stage it's habit really

No unless there is a specific interview I want to read (every couple of months).
I use to buy them regularly years ago but gave up as now most of the spoilers and a lot of interviews are on the internet / DS anyway, so I may as well save myself some money. Tbh I would rather spend my money on something else. |

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:40.



but usually now I only buy magazines if I'm going on holiday or something or when Inside Soap & All About Soap are on offer, like in Tesco's you could get both for £2.50 a few weeks ago.
