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
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…

Christmas Eve 2021 Radio Times
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,…

New Year’s Day TV 2021 – Radio Times
As we depart 2020, and reach the final pages of our double issue of the Radio Times, I present the final excerpt from my annotated edition. Let some good television (or audio) whisk you away from the sometimes wretched reality of real life. I wish you a Happy New Year! In case you’re wondering, I’ve…

Boxing Day 2020 Radio Times
The penultimate one of these for now. Hopefully there aren’t too many arguments going on wherever you are this time of year. Even if you’re on your own this Christmas. To ease those tempers, I’ve helpfully annotated today’s telly for your delectation… In case you’re wondering, I’ve been annotating copies of The Radio Times for…

Christmas Day 2020 Radio Times
Merry Christmas! Here are some watching options for this more unusual Christmas. With any luck, there won’t be any Prime Ministerial press conferences breaking into this festive fare today… In case you’re wondering, I’ve been annotating copies of The Radio Times for quite some time…

Christmas Eve 2020 Radio Times
Yes – it’s that time of year when I publish my annotated Radio Times pages for your viewing pleasure. In this year of years, where many of us aren’t where we thought we’d be even this time last week, we’re perhaps looking forward to settling down to some festive television. Obviously this all neatly sidesteps…

Boxing Day Radio Times 2019
Nearly made it through everybody! Traditionally Boxing Day might have a really good drama, although both the main channels are showing (good) films instead. I’m not honestly sure that this year has been a bumper year for festive TV. There’s still Dracula to go of course, and ITV tends to keep its powder dry over…

Christmas Day Radio Times 2019
Happy Christmas all! Here are my usual seasonal choices taken from the Radio Times. A particularly big day if you’re a Kylie fan it turns out. I realise we have Netflix (don’t waste your time with The Witcher), Amazon and iPlayer, but I suspect Strictly, Call the Midwives and Gavin & Stacey will be where…

Christmas Eve Radio Times 2019
It’s that time of year again, when I dutifully annotate the pages of the Christmas Radio times, pretending that Netflix and Amazon Prime don’t really exist, and let you know my thoughts on what’s worth watching or listening to. This year the Radio Times was perfect bound for the first time – glued instead of…

Boxing Day Radio Times 2018
The third of three days’ worth of useful help to plan your TV entertainment. You’re welcome! In case you didn’t want to watch a new version of The ABC Murders on BBC1 (or indeed, watch the older version on ITV3 just to spoil your later entertainment), then there is always the radio – including a…
