Why BBC, Why?

I've decided to put fingers to keyboard because yet again the BBC have let me down. I look forward to the Christmas edition of the Radio Times, ok it's the only edition that I buy so you couldn't call me an avid reader by any stretch of the imagination but none the less...Anyway, so the Christmas edition features in the warm glow of my festive fiesta. So imagine my horror when I scanned the shelves for it at the Co-Op. I couldn't see it, it was there but it was the lost in the blur of TV Chat, Not on your nelly telly and the council house favourite The TV Times. Why was it lost? Because they've dropped the beautiful illustration that they used to have. It used to stand out as a bastion of good taste. Gone is the hand painted jolly Christmas scene, in its place is bloody Wallace and Grommit, they may well have replaced it with a picture of Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand. A knife through my heart.
