Radio
Times celebrates its 80th birthday with the results of a major TV
poll and exclusive twenty- page television and radio stars special
The
world's longest-running television and radio listings magazine,
Radio Times, turns 80 next Sunday (Sep 28) and to celebrate, it
has gathered an unprecedented group of home-grown broadcasting talent
together in a very special issue this week. The 80th anniversary
edition also features the results of a massive online poll (12,000
people participated) conducted by the magazine to discover what
we like and don't like about TV in modern-day Britain.
The 30-question survey reveals, among other things, that over 59%
per cent of those polled would need at least 拢1m to give up
TV for life (42% of which said nothing less than 拢10m); Nigella
Lawson is the 'thinking man's crumpet'; Angus Deayton should be
reinstated as the host of Have I Got News For You; EastEnders character
Ian Beale beats Basil Fawlty to win the worst boss title; Michael
Parkinson is the best chat-show host ever; and DI Jack Frost is
the TV copper most people would like to see on their local beat.
Over
40 celebrities also feature in exclusive photographs and interviews
for the issue including Paul Merton as Charlie Chaplin, David Attenborough
as a Natural History Museum exhibit, Delia Smith (with cigarette
in mouth and dirty apron) serving Jamie Oliver a full English in
a caf茅, Bruce Forsyth on an airport baggage carousel complete
with cuddly toy, some of the great TV globetrotters such as Alan
Whicker and Michael Palin at the Travellers Club in Pall Mall, and
even former Ballykissangel-star Colin Farrell posing sexily in Spain.
Radio
Times asked all the stars to recall their fondest memories of TV
and radio and the special commemorative issue features a gatefold
cover with Michael Parkinson and Nigella Lawson. The 'Domestic Goddess'
has even baked a special birthday cake for the magazine, the recipe
of which is included inside.
