Yes, I think a lot of shops have it, but were not organised, I see many prior listings out and they want to sell them first.

The Merseyside derby is on the 19 December, so they include highlights on that Monday
Night.

Nice to see them keeping Football on 5 at the proper times.

The TVTimes is awesome! It has proper book spine with "TV Times Christmas Double Issue" printed on it. The material used for their cover (whilst the cover illustration is not as good as the RT) is glossy and thick and it seems far more likely to survive this 5 week period (between now and 30th December) than the RT will be able to.

I had a flicked through the TV Times in the shop, only one there, seemed OK, I thought Total TV guide was better myself.

They can be posted before 11.45am on a Saturday to make it for Monday's postal deliveries to your home! It'sup to RT distribution to decide whether they think their subscribers are worth it or not!

Despite being a subscriber, I have spent most of the day going to shops across Derby to try and locate one. Finally found some in the City Centre (I should've gone there first) both in WH Smith & the shop in the bus station.

It's the way TVTimes is bound that I found impressive.

The RT subscription department don't work Saturday or Sunday so there's no one to put them in the post until the Monday

I know this may be a strange question but are their any digital INTERACTIVE TV mags you can download from the app stores? What I mean is I spend ALOT of time on my phone and at Xmas time I usually ring the shows in the TV mags I want too watch with a pen (as we all do) is their any TV mags online that have interactive features were I could circle shows I want too watch or draw on the copy like I would with a physics bought from the shops TV mag?? Surely in 2016 their must be on out their???? Or are the TV mags from app stores just standard can only read and see them? Surely in 2016 with all the other things you can do with phones and online you could do what I describe with your finger or an interactive pc /tablet pen???

My subscriber's copy for 10th - 16th arrived today, no sign of any double issue in shops locally though (north-west).

For just one weekend per year, where two editions are out at the same time and need sending out, it really wouldn't hurt RT subscription staff to work just once! One weekend out of 52 isn't too restrictive.

The slowness of receiving copies at this time of year potentially results in cancelled subscriptions further down the line!

I HAVE MY CHRISTMAS RT! (Not via subscription, I should add!). Yipeee!! Am still waiting for the 10-16 issue though.

I've been to three shops in Rainham Kent and only one, the Co-Op had any Christmas Double Issues at all, but not Radio Times, but I did get my Total TV Guide.

I'm still waiting on my 3-9 Dec subscription RT & my 10-16 Dec one

And the answer is no! Not one shop had RT or any of the double issues!

I bet the answer to that is that they mail ALL editions together and as it takes 5 days to print all editions they wait till they are all done then send em out

you know what would be useful is if the Radio Times on facebook or their website had the decency to tell us where they have distributed and on what days

I agree. I was really impressed when I saw it in the shop this afternoon. As you say a glossy cover and proper book spine. I always buy TV Times so am more than happy with this. And at £3 a lot cheaper than Radio Times.
