It looks like this is the official one.

I would hope the idents are kept back rather than being aired for a full week before Christmas as last year - my bet would be Sat 20th Dec.

Will Snowball and Penguins return to accompany the new ident?

I agree, that's when I would debut the idents, it just seems that it's the right amount of time before Christmas.

According to insiders, it's new idents this Christmas and Penguins and Snowball won't be returning.

But isn't Northern Ireland's Coke advertising come from Coke Ireland rather than the UK, as when they where showing the 'Scary Santa ad here, they showed it with the 'Holidays are Coming' music there?

I don't know if this has already been answered but when will the Christmas special of Radio Times come out?


Not for a while yet, there are another 3 issues of the TV guides to come out yet before the Christmas special.

Next Tuesday will be the last week the TV guides go on sale on their usual day, it was get earlier from the next issue.
