To think this is an outrage!?!

[OwlinaTree]

I've just bought the festive radio times. Got it home and realised it doesn't actually cover the new year!!!! AIBU to assume the two week special would cover the whole festive period?

Yanbu that's an outrage!

Is it from last Saturday to next Friday?

It always used to!

It's tradition to have the RT at Christmas in our house but went for Heat this year as the rest of the RT magazine is usually shite! Least I can read some 'sleb trash too!!

I had the same reaction when I realised! It's because it covers 2 weeks and starts on a Saturday , so ends on a Friday. And New Year's Day is a Sunday, so it gets missed off the end.

Yes it started on the 17th! The 17th of Dec is not a festive day.

Can't believe I've paid so much for 7.5 days of listings. Bah humbug

I was equally as outraged when I bought it last week!

They should have printed a few extra pages imho.

I was all the confused when OH told me.

I feel let down by the universe.

It is an outrage!

I went looking for the New Year one today and no bugger had it. I need to have it for ds as it's part of his Christmas routine.

Not only that, but I bought my DM a copy and Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day are completely missing. I'll never spend £4.50 on a RT again. (I actually spent £9 because I bought one too. Mine is complete-well it still doesn't include NYE/D, but you know what I mean!)

As my son would say: it's whack.

And it costs £4.50

Slightly panicking now that the vital days will be missing from my copy.

Come on baby, hurry up with this feed so I can check!!

Oh seriously?! I bought it a couple of weeks ago but haven't looked at it yet. But started on the 17th....grrrr

Glad I went for the £1 next to it now!

£4.50?! faints with shock

My advice to you is www.tvguide.co.uk.

Fuck me, that is an outrage - I hadn't even noticed - thanks for the heads up!

WTF is it so thick when they haven't even included New Years day etc.

This.country is going to the dogs.

£4 fucking.50?!! We buy the Mirror on Saturday, just for the tv pages...still have to buy another on the 30th but it was cheaper and we get a good crossword

I know ........ I was fuming - never even looked until my friend told me - £4.50 is disgusting - I tweeted them to say I was annoyed and I didn't get a reply. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd known - would have spent £3.00 on TV Times instead but they only go to 30th Dec too

I have only just realised this as well! Cannot bring myself to buy the next one, I have never bought an issue of the Radio Times apart from the Christmas one and I am not about to start now.

£4.50 is a disgrace.
They are cheeky bastards. They are well aware that many people only buy it at Christmas time (as it is a funny comforting xmas thing) so they are totally milking it.
And then not to have New Year listings is a bloody outrage indeed!

What the actual fuck? I haven't bought one this year and I'm glad I didn't bother.

Hesterton, my DH still does that
