I think you probably mean it goes a bit "hallmark"

(Speaking of hallmark - I'm in the process of copying the movies recorded from 5, moviemix and true movies from the DVR to the computer, loading in to AVIDemux, stripping the ads, saving as AVI, loading in to VidCoder converting to MP4 and then copying to the Plex Server)”

Are you hoping to get 'A LIFE' for Christmas. LOL

I wonder what beginning C4 will use this year. Father Christmas (Mel Smith) or David Bowie?

3pm-9pm Top 150 Christmas things (talking heads with people you've never heard of or have forgotten about entirely)

9pm-10pm CSI Lapland

10pm-5am Super Christmas Casino (gamble away all your Christmas money while the presenter wears a pair of fake reindeer antlers)

Probably

I've contacted them about non-receipt of my 3-9 December issue just awaiting a reply.

Last year excluded, they don't have FF on Boxing Day. (Which is strange, considering it's one of the biggest days on the football calendar.)

The annual 'share to reveal the RT Christmas cover' thing has gone online

http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-...hristmas-cover

Edit: Can't believe that I got to post this first It's almost as good as posting the actual cover

Well I mean the Top 150 Christmas Things would be awesome to watch - especially if it's not being squeezed into an hour slot. CSI Lapland would be awesome! Not a fan of Casino type programs - but - I could just switch to Netflix and watch an 8 hour realtime train journey from Oslo to Bergen in glorious HD - because that's why the internet was invented obviously. (Or if train journeys aren't your thing - you could watch someone chopping firewood.... or even knitting - because apparently enough people want to watch these things - that they actually make them.....)

(PS in all seriousness though, the train journey video is awesome)

If we're going to hyper-analyze this

Spoiler
1. It's snowing - first time since 2013.

2. The 'R' has the heavier snow covering of 2012/2103 rather than the lighter version of the previous two years (which makes sense as it's snowing!).

3. The way that the line goes up from the middle of the 'R' is completely different to previous page designs.
