Still no Radio Times here. What is strange is that all the other magazines, even including TV Easy and Total TV Guide are all out

None of the Christmas magazines are out down here yet and some shops havent even put out the issue for 10th-16th December yet!

Got my Christmas RT from the newsagent in Fletchers Walk by Alpha Tower in Birmingham city centre today. I needn't have bothered - looks like I'll be watching any DVDs I get that night. EastEnders is on too late (not that I watch it). I think Shrek followed by Toy Story 2 is a bit too much US animation in one go. ITV's schedule is much as expected (ie dull), but the BBC have really failed this year. The BBC's Boxing night schedule looks very poor too.

In what way have they failed? I do appreciate your comments but all in all the schedules are not really that bad are they? What would you like to see on Christmas Day? How could the schedules be better? I don't think they are as good as last years schedule but they are better than 2002's. I mean, they had Ground Force on Christmas Day in 2002.

ITV's Boxing Day schedule is a joke! Corrie followed by Corrie......followed by er Corrie and then to top it off Corrie!! Don't complain about BBC1 too much at least it is showing a varied schedule: 5.30 Hard Spell 6.00 BRAND NEW As Time Goes By
6.45 BRAND NEW Celebrate Oliver! (Getting a lot of stick but just a good old fashioned entertainment show that people are crying for) 8.00 (After the news) Eastenders 8.30 BRAND NEW Outtake TV 9.00 MOVIE PREMIERE: Minority Report.

All in all, not a bad line up compared to ITV's Corrie Overkill.

Was going to pick up a copy of the Radio Times or TV Times in the newsagents this morning ... but didn't have enough change for that AND a coffee!

Still no Christmas RT here, the local newsagent has just put next weeks out, and there's no sign of the Christmas edition at Metrocentre WHSmith yet either. Rolling Eyes

Appears to be a TARDIS and snow-dalek on the cover of this year's RT. Oh and a snowman with Mr Who's scarf and hat.

I got my Christmas Radiotimes along with TV Choice at Woolworths on Saturday here in London.
It cost me less than expected aswell, Woolworths had charged me £1.80 instead of the marked £1.95 on the cover. Ahh, the joy of barcodes Laughing.

Last year's was £1.80. Presumably has the same EAN.

Why are you asking me, ive just said they are not on sale down here yet, they are coming in tommorow. Ask someone who has already seen them although id suggest as you already know the answer to your question. Rolling Eyes
