Just got the Christmas double issue from the last time. Always a cracking deal, hot!

great for the over 80's

£1.01 TopCashBack

1p profit. Merry Christmas :smiley:

Forgot the cash back :confused:

Nice one - ordered & heated

Cracking deal, Thanks

It says 10 issues on the link

I've just gone through it. Only offering 10 issues for a £1. Still a good deal.

Who even buys this anymore

But why, even teletext superseded this

Do us and the planet a favour don't bother. So much crap comes packed in the magazine and, in the last 12 weeks have I ever used it, NO! waste of a £1

father used to buy RT , spent hours putting rings around all the programmes to he wanted to watch.

use RT online listings myself

Well peter I grant you that is a lot packed in!!!


Bit of an anachronism but good luck to it I suppose.

It's back? Actually, it's never been away..........never mind, though. Heated. :wink:

Thanks, just ordered. Do I need to cancel the direct debit just before it's up or can I do any time the £1 has been taken?

Ordered one for us and one for my nana thanks

Got the XMAS issue there so I'm getting circling!

Cover fell off of course almost immediately.

Watch out on cancelling the DD tho, last year I did it straight away after the xmas issue and they just stopped sending me the other 9 I was supposed to have for the £1, lol!

Also in their T&C that they can refuse you if you have cancelled a trial sub in the past...

Can't go wrong with that

TVguide.co.uk is more up to date and cheaper.

If the 15 treats for Christmas are the best that's on offer, you could commend the RT for it's contribution to energy saving.
Saw the Guy Martin Vulcan programme (for younger readers, it isn't a SciFi) a few weeks ago. One of the more interesting parts was the crew that bombed Stanley runway revealing that of the 21 bombs dropped, only ONE was on target. Strange how the photos from various media at the time showed the runway peppered with multiple bomb craters. Nothing changes. :smiley:

Got myself and my parents the last deal including the Christmas edition. Fantastic offer if you are going to buy the Christmas tv pages anyway it works out lots cheaper to do it this way.

Brilliant! Thanks OP.

Thats what i also do put rings around programmes than sky plus it with series link and no adverts instead of 1 hour programmes its 45 Mins

Ordered, but the offer is for 10 issues for £1 (not 12) & the first issue I could select was publish date 24/12/15. Looks like I missed the Xmas issue, but I took a punt for a quid.

I have had problems with this. I bought 12 issues for £1 starting in October. I never received the Christmasa double edition (the main reason I bought it) and when I queried it they said it must have got lost in the post. A week later I had ££33.80 direct debit taken (that's before the 12 weeks was up) I wrote and complained and was told they had suspended my subscription because the Post Office had returned an issue to them! That sounds most odd. They will refund my dd in 28 days by cheque. I am not very happy at all. They had suspended my subscription and weren't sending me copes but still thought it was OK to set up a direct debit!

I've cancelled the direct debit in my online bank account... do I have to inform the subscription company?

If it's cancelled do the bank just block any future payment attempt?

Yeah that's what I thought. Obviously as far ad subscription company know, I technically still want it as they haven't had a cancellation. And they will still have my account details, so could be in for an avoidable refund scenario, unless I just contact them.

I'm just paranoid if I contact them now I might lose some issues if they nause up and cancel sending out the remaining ones, thinking I don't want those!

Will have to remind myself to email them closer to the end of the deal...

I wouldn't worry about that. Just tell them you want to cancel, but still receive all 12 issues that you've paid for. They'll always send all 12 if you make that clear.
