The Radio Times, can it sink any lower than this week's issue?

[Northender]

antongould: no, but it does cover 16 days, apparently. The current issue is worth buying for the message from Head of Deliverance Ian Fletcher (aka Hugh Bonneville).

Good grief, I see what you mean JFLL

I'll try & catch it on iPlayer if it's still available.

I found the D 960 by chance and enjoyed the performance very much.

No - RT researchers visited this forum and found recipes for desserts (posted by M Maillot Jaune), snacks between courses (posted by The Administrator), bread (posted by Ams). RT recognises that it got it wrong by thinking Radio 3 listeners were interested in live music and the Proms, so you're getting 72 pages of recipes. .

-- but while we're at it, how about a 'Friends of Radio 3 Cookbook' and sharing the proceeds?

If you have to get it I think it's cheaper with a subscription. Not sure if it's one of the ones which get even cheaper (considerably) if paid for with Nectar or Tesco points, but it might be.

Head of Deliverance????!!!!

I wonder what his motto theme would be.

"He trusted in God that He would deliver Him
Let Him deliver Him, if He delight in Him"

?

Family brought me the RT for 5-11th January today.The good news - two live concerts on the Wedn and Friday of that week - the bad news, it's gone up to a whopping £1.60.

Is it worth it or are we trapped if we want the music details ?

I think it's worth it, though it is quite expensive, I suppose. I have it delivered, and if for some reason it doesn't turn up I get really worried and upset. It's just an easy way of having all television and radio details together in one place. To me it's still much easier to read than details online.

I agree - I also have it delivered and look forward to its arrival each week. It is still the best TV listings magazine by a long way, and the only one with any sort of detailed radio schedule.

Radio listings are woefully inadequate, despite being less bad than the rest. An expansion to 3 or 4 pages per day would be most welcome.
