For me, Christmas begins when the Festive editions of the TV Times and Radio Times are out. Most years, it’s pretty easy to secure both at the same time, but bizarrely, this year, on Saturday, there were plenty of RTs everywhere, but no TVTs. After a bit of shopping around, I tracked down the TV Times today.
In ancient times, TV geeks like me needed both, because TV Times only covered commercial television, whilst Radio Times covered the BBC.
So, strictly speaking, they are now duplicates of each other, but it’s become so much of an annual habit, I still buy both! No doubt, much to the delight of the Publishers! Kerrrrrching!
This year, the TV Times sports 196 pages, whilst the Radio Times weighs in with a hefty 292. Now the serious work of scrutinising the schedules, to find the best televisual treats for Christmas 2014 begins!

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
