The Radio Times 2023 Christmas double issue on sale from 12th December
Highlighters at the ready! Find out what's inside this year's festive edition of Radio Times...
It wouldn't be Christmas without Radio Times – on sale nationwide on Tuesday 12 December 2023.
We know that for many of you, nothing says Christmas has arrived more than getting your copy of the Radio Times double issue, and this year is particularly special for us as we celebrate our 100th anniversary!
It's not often that the Radio Times Christmas issue boasts a cover star. But Mog makes a very good one. Not as high-maintenance as some, with few Hollywood tendencies, she is, in our experience, a rather accommodating cat. First created by Judith Kerr for a 1970 book, she has been brought to life by Channel 4 for Mog's Christmas. Read our interview with Judith's daughter inside the issue, who tells us all about her family pet, and watch Mog spring to live in our video below.
