Radio Times Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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, ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

When the Radio Times was first published, it was regarded as the "official organ of the BBC", and called the Radio Times because radio from the BBC was all you had. As time went on, television gradually took over more of the pages until now, where TV programmes take priority over radio. However, while the radio listings ...  Read the complete review

I think the Radio Times plays on the fact that it has no major competitors and thinks that that is a good excuse for a poorly designed, badly reasearched editoral content. Somebody should use all there limitless resources like their three colour photocopiers, to better use, and not sit on their arses, thinking it's the content that wins the ...  Read the complete review

In this day when you can a tv guide free with nearly all the newspapers, a magazine that charges you for the privilege, will have to be pretty special. And i am afraid the Radio Times just is not that, it is no longer specail, it just contains the same as what you can get with the Saturday book in the Express, the only real difference is ...  Read the complete review

I use to buy Whats on TV a long time ago and thought it was really good until I got free vouchers to try the Radio Times, since then I wouldnt or couldnt buy anything else. For 79p a week it is a really good buy and very informative. Unlike some other magazines it does not focus on the soaps etc it actually has informative information ...  Read the complete review

The Radio Times has been read in my house for as long as I can remember (and thats longer than I care to admit). Partly buying it every week is habit but I have given up on other magazines so it has something going for it. The programme pages are clear and unlike some it has very comprehensive Radio pages. My only small niggle here is that it was ...  Read the complete review

Radio Times is the oldest of the Tv listings magazines and also the most expensive. It still holds first place in many people's hearts; there is even a steady trade in radio Times back issues at Memorabilia fairs. Tv Times does not seem to have attracted the same kind of loyalty, and the newer listing magazines cannot even be placed in the ...  Read the complete review

The Radio Times is the only magazine I buy regularly. An occasional lifestyle magazine, a computer one if they are reviewing something I want to buy or have something on the CD, or the local daily paper but otherwise I don't spend much on reading material in the newsagents. This may give the impression that the Radio Times is worth buying - ...  Read the complete review
