We should know the Easter schedules by the end of next week. Can you believe it's almost Easter already? Christmas will be here before we know it.

I'm not sure about the TV Times, but the first Radio Times to carry ITV and Channel 4 was actually the previous week's (albeit only on the Friday); it had Arnold Schwarzenegger on the cover.
The 2nd March was the first full edition to feature all listings for all channels. |

I think wizzywick will like this - Sally wainwright in an interview on the Whats on Tv website says that she and the cast want to do more Last Tango and has ideas for series 3 of Happy Valley but that has not been commissioned yet
Tony Jordan also says that he has scripts ready to go for a second 20 part Dickensian |

Well lets hope the rest of the Easter Weekend will be a bit better than Good Friday on BBC One - no film in the afternoon just the normal fare being shown a t different times and the evening is the same as well except for Masterchef, Bloomers and Mrs Brown's Boys from 8.30pm

Easter weekend, there will be no Match of the Day on the Saturday, any chance of a film after the news.
Going back to when the RT and TV Times, started covering all the channels, was a sad time, as I used to enjoy having 2 magazines given to me by my gran, and then it went to one. I guess for Easter there is no hope. Of a Easter Themed cover. A cover with some, daffodils, Chickens and Eggs would be lovely |
