  • New Year’s Day 2023 – Radio Times

    New Year’s Day 2023 – Radio Times

    A final TV selection for this year’s Festive season – mostly because there’s some pretty decent TV for New Year’s Day when the schedulers reckon that the nation’s collective hangovers mean that most of us aren’t going anyway too far from the sofa, even if the intentions to be better in 2023 are there. And…

  • Boxing Day 2022 – Radio Times

    Boxing Day 2022 – Radio Times

    Ideally you want to at least think about spending some time outside today. But you’re probably not going anywhere by train, which might make some of the Premier League games a particular challenge for away fans today. So good luck with those doing family trips across the town or across the country. But for those…

    Christmas Day 2022 – Radio Times

    Congratulations on making it through to Christmas Day! While the family arguments begin early, I’m here to hold your hand through your TV and radio entertainment options, to make sure that you’re not stuck watching a celebrity special gameshow when you could be watching something much better (i.e. anything). Certainly, my tastes may not be…

  • Christmas Eve 2022 – Radio Times

    Christmas Eve 2022 – Radio Times

    If it’s Christmas then that means I get out my Post-it notes and marker pen to run through the double issue of the Radio Times to see what TV and radio I personally think are worthwhile. I’m not kidding myself that we’re all limited to what the major linear channels are showing. Maybe you’re binging…

  • Boxing Day 2021 Radio Times

    Boxing Day 2021 Radio Times

    A penultimate look at the TV and radio across the festive period. Where I’m sitting at the moment, it’s a very grey and dank Boxing Day, so the TV might offer more hope than a Boxing Day walk. As usual, click through, or to the links below to view fullsize (especially on mobile). The fullsize…

    It’s my annual look at the country’s premier TV listings magazine as I run my virtual rule over what’s on regular telly (and radio), annotating my copy as I go. As ever, click through for larger versions. Larger TV listings here. Larger radio listings here. For what it’s worth, I’ve been publishing these since 2009,…

  • The Infinite Dial 2021 UK

    The Infinite Dial 2021 UK

    41% of the UK population listens to podcasts each month. That’s probably the headline finding from some new research that will be of interest to everyone interested in the UK audio space. Edison Research, the company that has probably lead the field in US audio and podcast research in recent years, has published its first…

    Broadcast v Streaming

    On an episode of Richard Osman’s House of Games that aired at the start of this week, there was a question in the Distinctly Average round that made me sit up. The celebrity contestants are paired up and each must answer a numerical question that is usually based around making an estimation. They’re not expected…
