What's On TV Magazine

...sneaky-peaks at upcoming story lines and enough of a taste of what is to come without actually spoiling them. "What’s On T.V." is available to buy on Tuesday of every week, for the week starting on Saturday, for the cracking price of 45p.

I’m a regular reader of ‘Inside Soap’ and each fortnight that magazine makes it’s way around my family, spilling out the storylines that will hit our screens in the next two weeks.

...that says the same things’ – Boredom is the answer! Whilst browsing the shelves at the newsagents two magazines caught my eye and both were about TV shows. One was this magazine and the other was TV Quick. I purchased them both but was more impressed with ‘What’s on TV’ - hence this review.
