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…

Merry Christmas! It’s that time again, when you’re sitting down looking for something to watch or listen to. I’m here to “help”: Click on the image or here to see the listings larger. Click on the image to see the image larger. I’ve been annotating the Radio Times for quite a while. Take a look…

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 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…

Christmas Day Radio Times 2018
Happy Christmas everyone! You’re probably stuffing your face with discounted Celebrations and Quality Street, or hitting the web early to get all those online sales. There are probably a few arguments and the usual Christmas merriment. Some are already planning how soon they can return an unwanted gift – or at least re-gift it. But…

Christmas Eve Radio Times 2018
The big day is nearly here, and having navigated trains and traffic, cursed at airport drone-flyers, and got annoyed with people using smartphones in front of you in the street, you’re feeling all Christmassy! These days of course, there is serious competition from the streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. And this year,…
