Advantages: Good for finding stories you missed

Disadvantages: Lots of pictures

My parents started to buy this when my brother was trying to join the army. I find it perfect if you've been away or out of the loop and want to catch up-just sort of distils the news and then anything I would like to know more about, I google and hey presto.

It has some good bits, like the "It must be true, I read it in the tabloids" column and the "Quotes of the week" which i invariably forget before I have the chance to impress someone with!!

Sometimes there are too many pictures to be honest, and if there is a big story, that can be covered to the detriment of other titbits of information which are more interesting.

All in all, I would recomment it if you spend a lot of time out of the UK and need to catch up. Or if your job entails you being engrossed in something all week, you can read this on the weekend and stay up to date.

Oh, it has a precis of the Archers as well which I think is great!!

Summary: Excellent to catch up on a lazy weekend
