I have RT each and every week without fail. Part of the joy of that is going into the shop, finding the rack of new RT's every Tuesday and selecting one - usually from the middle of the pile and then take all the crappy inserts out and leave them there. Would spoil it for me to have the RT posted, even at a cheap as chips price - I am happy to pay the going rate. Especially at this time of the year when there is more chance of not getting a delivery on time.

Sounds about right.

My local library has updated online and has the new digital versions of TV & sat and TV Times so might as well go and have a read of them

Someone mentioned Hairspray Live! - its on at 8pm on Friday December 9th on ITV2

I am guessing the RT after the Robbie Wliiams one will be a Sports personality cover, as inside the back cover there is an interview with Gabby Logan and the " next week" shows the sports personality trophy. It's out on Thursday 1st. - or at least in post office sorting offices before then!

I don't usually put my outside decorations up until December but it's only lights on the porch and a wreath so I'm thinking of doing them tomorrow.

Looking forward to this!, I remember when ITV2 used to do a Panto every year.

4 weeks and 1 day to go now, for me though it's only 3 weeks as I'll be enjoying the TV and other Festive things from the 19th December until the 1st of January.

I guess it will be announced early next week on The One Show, maybe Monday and all press is embargoed until then. I think they will be in that RT.

Although it's not right half the time, for example it says Walliams and Friend is an extended episode but the time says it's the normal 30 minutes!

three skiers stranded on a chairlift are forced to make life-or-death choices which prove more peril.
And the picture is of animated characters anyone know which one is showing

Someone posted that a few pages back, assume an error when typing it up.

Normally these Christmas schedules have numerous errors in them at the early stage.

Some donut mixed up the thriller movie Frozen with the Disney Frozen!

As if BBC1 would put a 15 rated horror thriller on a Christmas day afternoon.
