The Christmas Radio Times.

Good to hear wisewoman that I'm not the only 'Gransnetter' who buys the RT every week. It sounds sad but I always enjoy sitting down on a Fri night with a glass of red wine and the RT. I've got this week's copy ready to go and the Christmas edition tucked away until next Fri. I like reading the articles and anything written by Alison Graham. Also it's about the only listings magazine that is not obsessed with "celebrity". They also give a big chunk over to Radio 4 and I can check out any plays / books etc that will be worth listening too. I do the highlighter bit on the Christmas Edition but usually end up catching things on the i Player about a week later.

Yes Rosiebee I am about to mark the next week's one and the Christmas one is secreted ready for action. My four year old grandson, who does not have a tv at home, loves Ceebeebies at our house. He call the RT "the magic paper" because it tells us what is going to be on and he can decide what he would like to see!

I buy the Radio Times every Tuesday when doing my food shop. Like others I mark the programmes I want to watch but also set them to record a week in advance so that nothing is forgotten. Mind you, I have many hours of stored radio and TV which I shall probably never watch.
I was rather disappointed with the Christmas RT, not much of interest apart from 'Death comes to Pemberley'. I know the stations are probably understaffed, but why are there so many repeats within the two weeks, sometimes three or more times?
