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

Check out the details on https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/newsroom/article/gift-drop-for-christmas.html . I'm hoping for a free Festive Pie! 3) For the Maths crowd (I know you're out there) you have a multitude of Mathsy Advent Calendars to choose from. All listed a...
