Radio Times Reviews

We are being forced to watch the slow demise of a giant among British TV listings magazines, for the chance to view the last dying gasps of this overbearing mortal we must forfeit an additional 6 pence each week on top of an already excessive charge of 79p. So why the outcry I here you ask, it’s only a TV mag after all, a flimsy 50 ...

Hands up all those for whom the following sounds familiar. Think of a weekly magazine which you know quite well, but don't buy all year, apart from a special two weekly edition that comes out over the Christmas period. Yeah, I know it's obvious what it is because you can tell that from where this opinion is posted but you have to ...

The Radio times is the ultimate in TV (& radio) listings magazines. Unlike other mags it reviews and rates every film shown on telly. It tells you when theres sex and violence involved so that you set your video or perhaps avoid it. It also prints interesting articles and news from the world of TV, John Peel is a particularly good read. Another ...

The Radio Times is probably the most well established and trusted of the many TV listings guides available. However, it is also the most expensive at 79p per issue, when you can pick up a cheap TV guide for around 30p. It is quite a glossy magazine with lots of articles to read, but it isn't as gossipy as some other magazines. Whereas ...

I have no complaints with Radio Times. The only time I read it is when I go back home to visit the family! But I am concerned about its funding. As the BBC is funded by license payers is the Radio Times subsidised? Scenario 1: If the Radio Times (RT hereafter)is subsidised by the license fee, then I feel my money is being wasted ...

Radio Times is an excellent publication and there is some good interesting reading in it but if you want it just for TV programmes its far too expensive. It doesn't have anything but BBC programmes in it so you have to buy another guide for ITV and satellite stations. However, there is no better publication for Radio listings. There ...

I’ve been using the RADIO TIMES as my television guide for many years, and find it extremely useful. It not only has detailed television listings, but the radio listings are second to none. Indeed, I’ve never yet found another listings magazine which lists precise timings for BBC Radio 3 (the classical station), which is very important ...

Like all we only used to get this at Christmas, but it has now become a staple feature of our house. It has all sorts of lifeestyle tips and the addition of "Soap and Flannel" has made it near enough complete. Alison Graham is the star writer in this mag (Soap and Flannel, TV Review). It is well above the quality of other tv guides, ...

I've been getting the Radio Times since the days when there only was radio. Now the magazine lists TV programmes as well and does it with aplomb. It comes in a number of different flavours for the various regions around the country and at 79p is good value for the money which pays for around 150 pages. There are loads of ...

I used to subscribe to both this and the TV times but since the advent of free TV guides with the newspapers and also the sheer volume of TV channels with Digital TV, I have stopped buying this. I wonder how many other people now do not buy this and other similar magazines? If the readership is failing, how long will it continue? will it ...

The Radio Times is a brilliant way to plan your weeks viewing and radio listening. It has film reviews of films in the cinema, films to rent and the films on terrestrial TV and on digital. The Radio Times carries listings for all terrestrial channels including regional variations, the only down point is that it doesn’t cover a ...

Radio Times - where would we be without it? Of course, it isn't everyone's favourite, but it is still good. If I want to know what is on, sure I could just use teletext/digital guide, but thankfully, RT has other features to keep you interested, and an easy guide to TV listings (for when you can't find the remote!). It has a ...

I used to buy the Radio Times years ago, but have not bought it for a couple of years now. For the simple fact that there is nothing ever on the television! The only shows worth watching are the great british comedies, which we no longer make. If there were actually shows on I would buy this tv listings magazine. The layout is superb and ...

I still regularly read the Radio Times, although I must admit it isn't as good as it used to be. The listings are great and serve their purpose well, but some of the other articles don't seem to be as interesting as they used to be. One section I will give credit to though it the film guide, which is around 10 pages long and ...

Now then, hands up all those of you who ONLY buy this magazine at Christmas, because, quite frankly, your Christmas would be incomplete without it. Visit any house during the festive season, you'll spot the plate of assorted nuts, dates, Christmas tree and cards, and, oh yes, the ubiquitous Christmas Edition of the Radio Times, ...

Radio Times is the best listing magazine around. Its been around longer than any other. Even when the market was flooded with other listings magazines in the early 90s, it was still way ahead of them in the quality stakes. The magazine’s listings for terrestial channels have a lot of information and are attractively laid out ...

When in lodgings 3 years ago, my landlady used to provide a copy of the Radio times each week, and I used to look forward to flicking through the pages, and reading my favourite features and columns, there was always something to interest me and it helped while away an hour or two on a Saturday afternoon. I subsequently moved out of ...

I used to enjoy reading the radio times as there used to be some really good artcles on famous people and I always like the my kind of day feature on the last page. However recently I feel it has gone donwhill. Polly Toynbee quite often says things which I think are ludicrous and ridiculous and if you were a soap fan you wouldnt be after ...

They portray themselves as the only TV magazine you will everneed. What a load of rubbish. I reguarly have to buy or get other listings as RT does not include many satalitte channels. Idded just of late I have discoverd an online TV listing which gives me just the channels I want. If Rt provided online extras and a more substacial listings guide ...

The Radio times is the oldest Tv guide and in some ways the best. Yes it does have the clearest listing out of all of the different Tv guide on the market. However if you have cable or Sky then you will be disappointed because it does have a cable/sky page - but it is terrible. Again it is clear, but it onyl has about 15 channels. It has the ...
