Have just had the email from Radio Times regarding delivery of subscriber copies

Issye due out tomorrow - delivery Nov 29 as usual
Issue due Dec 1 - delivery on December 6 - as usual
Christmas Issue - delivery due by December 10
New Year Issue - delivery due Dec 23

If these dates are correct then they can forget any subscription next year!
Got my email.

Got my RT from the 3rd today so the E Mail is wrong.

Yeah, I'm incredibly disappointed in this, and I think I'll email to tell them. I've been a subscriber for years, and getting the Dec 1 issue 5 days late and the Xmas issue 7 days late is an insult.

edited to add: the post above is a reassuring sign though

These are in provisional schedules

Maybe they are trying to fend off complaints and deliver quicker, as said the Robbie Wliiams one arrived today.

Thanks for the offer but the issues will turn up when they turn up, as long as I get them before the programmes actually start I'm not that bothered.

Changes to your Radio Times subscription mailing over Christmas and New Year

Dear Radio Times subscriber,



During the run-up to Christmas, the Radio Times team will be working hard to produce the Christmas double issue. To finish it on-time, some earlier issues of the magazine will be ready sooner than normal and will be mailed to you earlier than usual.

We thought it would be useful for you to know the new delivery dates for your copies of Radio Times over the festive period. The table below shows when your subscriber copy will be delivered.



TV and radio listings start dates

Issue on-sale date

Delivery due on or around

How this differs from the normal delivery date

Saturday 3rd December
26th November
29th November
Normal delivery date

Saturday 10th December
1st December
6th December
Normal delivery date

Christmas Double issue: Saturday 17th December
From 3rd December*

10th December
3 days earlier than usual

Saturday 31st December
23rd December
23rd December
4 days earlier than usual

Saturday 7th January
3rd January
3rd January
Normal delivery date

*The Christmas double issue will be on-sale nationwide from Wednesday 7th December but some copies will be on-sale from Saturday 3rd December in certain parts of the country. Your subscriber copy will arrive on or around Saturday 10th December – do not be concerned if you see the double issue in shops; your copy will be on its way.



If you have any questions regarding your Radio Times delivery, you can reach us in one of the following ways:

They wont be showing the Christmas Day 1982 edition as one of the presenters was Dave Lee Travis
It's a pity they can't cut D.L.T. Bits out of it add voiceovers or subtitles ?
