Does anyone still buy this at xmas, do they even still print them?

For me the anticipation was almost unbearable, waiting for it to arrive mid December. Wanting to know if Jason & The Argonauts, Where Eagles Dare etc were on.

God, life must have been boring in the 70's.

The Mrs bought one at Christmas for years, I eventually persuaded her it was a waste of money bearing in mind we hardly watched any of the carp anyway.

You are right about the 70's - golden era of TV my arse.

I wonder what delights the BBC will bring us on 31st Jan & 1st Feb in recognition of our leaving the EU? I'd go for The Great Escape.

Page after page of small ads for holidays on the Norfolk Broads. Or, for the more upmarket, invitations to Go Pontinental.

The great thing was that each ad included a FREEPOST address to send off for a full-colour catalogue.

When I was about ten, I used to write off for a couple of dozen of them every Christmas, and browse through them in wonder all through January. Then, every August, we'd still end up setting off for a week at exactly the same guest house in Ramsgate as the previous summer.

Never mind. At least by then the Beano Summer Special would be out.

Loved this one, from Boxing Day 1970, BBC1:

7.15pm  The Rolf Harris Show
                  starring Rolf Harris in a programme recorded
                  in Germany and including a visit to the
                  ancient city of Rothenburg with
                  The Young Generation


Rolf, together with a troupe of flexible young people, celebrate Christmas in the town which just a few years previously had expelled its Jewish population and been hailed as a centrepiece of Nazi ideology.
