Hmmm, although it may be large in dimensions it is really quite small in difficulty. Lots of festive references with a couple of carols and a couple of pantomimes and one clue about a musical game of which I had never heard. Favourite clue? Well its a bit hard to pick, but these two are quite good:

20D Dash in the off-licence? (6)

49D Mind-reading skill needs old grass (7)

Enjoy.

49D Mind-reading skill needs old grass (7)

The first one stares you in the face but I can't see the old grass.

Hi John
How come you people in the outposts have already got their Christmas RTs whilst people like me in Surrey 20 miles from whence it is posted are still waiting.
PHILIP

Philip, the Christmas Radio Times is in the shops now, I bought mine on Sunday.

I didn't get mine from the Coop until yesterday lunchtime after the first ferry didn't arrive until 10:30. We won't see another one until after Christmas (RT not ferry I hope).

Break it up a bit:

Mind-reading ... skill ... needs old ... grass

Hope that helps.

My RT arrived mid morning. I think it must have been on the same bloody ferry

Had a quick look and I think you have read the musical game clue wrong. I think it is Musical +game
Same answer if your not taking 40 winks.

PS Give me a clue on 11a?

As a newcomer I am having trouble understanding the help you gave on 49d. Can you be a bit more helpful

Also completely stuck on 1d
Have words about sea ridge (8)

Thanks

Thanks sillboy.

Now I feel sillier than you
