The Christmas TV Thread

Every time I look it and compare it with other Mag there are some differences ( RT are wrong)

What are the differences you have noticed?

you mean this year? I have no idea until next week when the rest of the mags appear,

Last year there were in fact difference, I can't remember what there were but there was about 5 -10 mistake

for this year http://tv.uk.msn.com/christmas/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=150532300

Ant and dec are on boxing day, and Su bo speical is this weekend

Does anyone know when the Christmas Rdaio Times is on sale in Northern Ireland?

I have not seen it in the shops today

Always best looking in local newsagents rather than the supermarkets and big chains - they tend to put them out as soon as they get them. Radio Times this year though says on sale from Sat 5 Dec, rather than Tue 8 Dec "or sooner".

BBC TWO have just started using there Christmas Idents. Same as 2007 and 2008. The BBC logo also had the glow effect in the ECP

Still looks awful - not good enough to use three years running. It's not really that hard to come up with something which fits in with the window theme - basically a 2 window with snowy Christmassy scenes outside, decorated tree etc. on the inside.

BBC Four's Ice ident makes another appearance this year.

I disagree Brekkie. I think it is an exceptionally well executed package and although 3 years in a row is pushing it I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pleased to see the Gremlin again.

The second amended BBC Two ident.

Although the box does work better placed to the right (as there are no snowflakes to obscure) it should have been aligned with the base of the 2.

And a BBC iPlayer endboard with the lighboxes:
