Christmas Telly 2008

Love the cover, and Wendoline as the angel on top of the tree!

But the Blackadder documentary is still listed as 10.30-11.35, i.e. 65 minutes, even though the press release says it's a 90-minute documentary.

No it's definitely about an hour long a person that worked on it is a poster on another forum and told us that the press release is wrong.

Hmm, shame. Ah well, an hour is definitely better than nothing. What forum was it?

Doctor Who Forum. I find that quite a few industry people are on that site and tend to contribute regularly to the TV section, especially the ratings thread.

I must have missed whoever said that. I'm on there as well. Must look closer next time!

It was Adam in the Christmas Telly thread, he also mentioned how he was working on it and how the transmission time was constantly changing.

The Christmas Radio Times cover looks great - is says in the RT that the Christmas issue will be on sale from today but all the other mags say they will be on sale from Tuesday 9th (with some saying or even sooner)

Here in Cardiff we have never had it until the Tuesday in previous years so it will be interesting to see if it will be on sale today.

CBBC Channel has started on their Xmas idents.

Recycled from last year it seems

There's a 10 minute preview on the BBC website.

Well TV Choice has made it to the shelves of one newsagents around here, but none of the rest were available today.

TV Choice is usually the last one down here - the last couple of years its been the Wednesday that has gone on sale.

In Cardiff WHSMITH they have the boxes ready for the Christmas TV Guides but they are full of the 6-12th and 13-19th issues at the moment. Managed to pick up a copy of the Christmas edition of Soaplife (and the main storyline in the mag was one from Hollyoaks!!) but they dont have tv listings in Soaplife.
