You'll find whurules, that there are already questions from the RT51 crossword being posted in the Crosswords section, and have been like that for 24 hours.

[whurules]

i am talking about the edition starting 15th ,is that out already?, ,says out on the 6th in the magazine,sorry only trying to help

[yogi-bear]

Thanks for the heads up, whurules...xx.....I'll bet that The Wizard Of Oz, Ben Hur, The Great Escape, Spartacus and Gone With The Wind are in the schedules.....yet again! lol

[Stephen_G]

Yep.

Next week's is crossword 50 (8th - 14th December). Mine also states that the next magazine will be on sale from the 6th December, but, there have been a few questions posted in the crossword section with RT51 in the title. Obviously, some people are able to get there hands on a copy before others.

I know you were being helpful. Sorry if I came across a bit abrupt.

p.s.....You are spot on, whurules...checked website for you and edition 15th-21nd Dec out tommorrow..... and 22nd Dec 2012 - 5th Jan 2013( Christmas Double Issue ) out this Saturday the 8th Dec. :0)

[LyndaB]

I will be very surprised if the Christmas edition is out on Saturday. My (usually very reliable) information says next Tuesday. Other Christmas Tv listings will probably be available before then

[yogi-bear]

Good for you, Judge Nutmeg :0)

[boxtops]

..and TV Choice is out tomorrow for 15-21 December, then the Christmas one on 11 Dec.

[whurules]

thats ok judge i think if people get it delivered they get it a day early xx

[yogi-bear]

I suspect some TV guide mags differ to which days they release them to retailers, Lynda, not to confuse the public with which issues are out already......some may creep through early, so as to maximise sales....he who gets 'em first, sells them first no doubt.

[LyndaB]

For Some reason, the RT Christmas edition is always out a day or two after the rest of them, no idea why. According to the website, it will be on sale on Saturday in London and Tuesday or even Wednesday everywhere else. I have been promised Tuesday - we shall see!

[LyndaB]

No, all newsagents get them from just a couple suppliers, and usual all on the same day. At Christmas there are always two, and sometimes three editions on sale simultaneously for at least a week. Where the publishers do try to dupe the public is by putting "Christmassy" pics on the cover of the editions preceding the Christmas one - and you would be amazed by the number of peeps who fall for it!

[yogi-bear]

In past years, Lynda, as you say, the TV guide companys state in their previous issues that the Christmas issue is available on say, Tuesday 11th Dec, or earlier.....so that leaves it open that if they want to release it before that date, they can...the shops put them on shelves earlier, with the previous two editions near them. Confusing innit! lol

If you dont get your copy of Radio Times, if thats what you prefer, by Tuesday, Lynda.... I'll treat you to any dinner date of your choice....howzat? :) xx

[LyndaB]

The shops put them on sale as soon as they are delivered to them. There is no advantage to keeping them in their warehouse or back room. So, if the christmas listings for, say, TV and satellite are delivered on Saturday, then3 editions of that title will be on sale till Tuesday. Then for another week, there will be 2 editions, then after that just the Christmas one. The same will apply for all the titles

[yogi-bear]

I got a headache now For Funks Sake lol....and no hot dinner date either....drat, drat and double drat! :(

[LyndaB]

I work with magazines lol so if you have a headache, think how I go on having to explain it a thousand times a week! Ps I'd love a hot dinner date - will have to check if Laughing Boy will let me out!

[yogi-bear]

LOL...Lynda x

Yay!...I still got it.
You've just made me a happy bear :0)
