You can tell that Christmas is getting close because the special double issue of the Radio Times has been published! Sarah's already gone through it with a Sharpie!
Some advent calendar readers will be old enough to remember when you had to buy TWO TV guides if you wanted all the channels.

There's a great website with Radio Times covers of the past (going back to 1969). https://ukchristmastv.weebly.com/christmas-radio-times-covers-from-1969.html

So Santa definitely wins!
Finally here's a lovely one, from way back in 1930, designed by Claughton Pellew!
