I always buy the Radio Times becauseI don't read any other magazines and I like the standard of writing and the interviews. My mother buys 'TV Shit' or something of that ilk, so I bought her a copy of the Christmas issue of RT to try to lure her away from the cesspit of celebrity ordure into which she has allowed herself to fall. I was disappointed to discover that she doesn't care about poor writing and is influenced only by price. I will burn her in the new year.<br /><br />PS.

So the message is conveyed across a crowded newsagent's, as it were, but then there's more stuff to admire when you've bought the maagazine and got it home.
