TV Quick

TV Quick sits in the magazine rack beside the sofa almost religiously. I guess it was time for it to get a review by yours truly on dooyoo. So, with so many different magazine listing guides available, how does this one manage to get itself comfy in our living room every week? ~ General Priced at 65p, TV Quick is one of the cheaper listings magazines on the shelves. TVQ is not just a television listings magazine though; it also contains TV reviews and interviews, real life stories, recipes, letters and horoscopes. ~ Regions As far as I am aware, TVQ is ...  Read the complete review

I have bought this magazine for years and on the rare occasions when I have been unable to get it and have had to substitute it with another tv mag. have been disappointed to say the least. Firstly, the format of tv listings is clear, well thought out and saves time. the pages are not crammed with unneccessary information, but at the same time, you can see at a glance what each programme featured is about. As well as reading about tv programmes there are true life stories (some have to be read to be believed!), features and gossip about tv and movie stars, a health page, agony aunt Molly (again, some of the problems are a tad unusual) who gives her ...  Read the complete review

I like so many millions of others, am on a mission to cut down on my spending. I want more money to spend on things I enjoy doing. So I decided that as I can read news online and watch it on tv as well- then my weekly paper at a cost of nearly £2 is now to be a treat rather than at the top of my weekly shopping list. So that decision made I was left with the problem of getting a tv guide, as I normally get one free with my paper. I tried just using the electronic guide on screen, but I seemed to miss programmes. I tried using an online guide, but that didn't work for me either. So a cheap solution was needed - I loved the Radio Times, but that was quite ...  Read the complete review

With the advent of interactive TV, sky (for example) one would think that TV listings magazines will have had their day. Not so..on the contrary, more and more listings magazines are appearing on our shelves. From my own point of view this is a good thing. I do find it a bit fiddly flicking through the TV listings on sky and then finding the relevant button to find out what the programme is all about, so I still prefer the good old fashioned TV mags ! TV Quick is published by the H Baur Publishing co. and was launched way back in March 1991, they are aiming at a target audience of women under 45 years of age with children, and I think they have got it spot on. ...  Read the complete review

I always tend to buy the same TV magazine being as there is too much choice these days and it all gets too confusing. I used to pick the one that had the best front cover and the covers are mainly the biggest soap story of the week. Now I just stick to TV Quick mainly because I am used to the layout. The first page is the contents and pick of the week which goes on for the next two pages and picks out the best of the that weeks television, then my favourite bit which is 3 pages of the soap zone, especially for people like me who are soap addicts this tells you all about what the soaps have in store for us over the next week It also includes a soap update just in ...  Read the complete review
