but aren't all snowmen the same? wide mouth, carrott for a nose, its like saying santa, red suit, beard, black boots,

Wow. -so if the xmas radio times had arrived a day earlier (today ), I would have had FOUR "current " editions of the RT at the same time!

First time I have contributed to this forum, I love the fact that the internet allows people to enjoy all sorts of quirky (!) interests- such as the RT!

He also said it would be a large snowman in close up, which it is, Olaf from Frozen is not the same..........etc

No recount and absolutely no need to send a consolation prize. Claire's Dad runs the competition and his decision is final! Congrats to A.D.P. To be fair it is pretty Christmassy.

Who will be the first to get their hands on a copy?

I'm going to try WHSmith tomorrow morning. I was lucky last year, but I've got a feeling we won't get it here tomorrow, as the article on the RT website does only specify London and the SE this year.

Not sure if it was last year, but one year I think I was first, it was about 6.40 am and I went to a local petrol station, and they had them out on the floor. Whilst I subscribe to RT I got one, it was sheer luck, I posted it on last years thread.

I asked my local news agents in Leicester and he said he's down for delivery for tomorrow but I agree with the London and SE maybe not but two years ago it said the same thing but I ended going to long eaton Tesco to get mine because some one on the 2014 thread said they got one from there
so were not going on a bear hunt but a radiotimes hunt instead HAPPY HUNTING

Yeah, technically anywhere in the Midlands could get copies tomorrow.

Last year was the first time I was able to get a copy on the Saturday, we'll see tomorrow if it was a fluke or the norm!
