5th December 2021

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. We never got the TV Times, mainly because like the best families, you weren't really meant to watch ITV. Who needed Magpie when you had Blue Peter? And Tiswas was just silly.

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

Here's an EXCLUSIVE chart showing what was on the covers for the last 30 years:


So Santa definitely wins!

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