Advantages: cheaper than other tv listing magazines, easy to read, magazine info as well as programme info
Disadvantages: none
There are loads of tv listenings magazines on the market but this is the one we use.
Which TV listings book is it ?
It is called 'What's on TV'
Good title !
Well, it kind of does what it says on the tin.
You know exactly what you are going to get for your money.
And how much money is that ?
It costs 47p per weekly book, which is one of the cheapest around. We used to have TVTimes but that is a ridiculous price now and this gives you exactly the same information.
So, it tells you whats on the tv?
Yes, all the regular channels on what we call in our house 'normal telly'. Also included are the details for freeview and satelite, and radio programmes.
Each day is very clearly set out in easy to read print and the use of pictures to aid the programme details are a nice touch.
A brief but very useful 'plot' of each prgramme is easy to understand.
Okay, so you know whats on the telly. Is there more to it ?
Oh yes, this really is a magazine. Also included are ...
interviews with actors from that weeks programme scedule
special features on new series
where are they now ? finding what happened to actors of past years
readers letters
readers questions
horoscopes
a brilliant soap update - for all the soaps on tv
adverts
a coming next week page
a film guide
editors letter
So why pick this tv listings magazine ?
It is a good size (approx A4), so it is easy to handle, it costs 47p, which is a fraction of other books, it is easy to understand and find the info you want quickly, the information of the programmes is always accurate, you get a magazine with interviews, and quizzes too.
All in all, I would give this tv listing magazine 9 out of 10.
It lost 1 mark because it is a little heavy on the 'soaps'.
Summary: simply the best tv guide for only 47p
