Default Radio Times / TV Times Covers

This thread will probably die a death, but it will be interesting to see the covers of old issues of The Radio Times / The TV Times (or any other television related publications) that feature illustrations advertising the screening of psychotronic items

To start with, here the cover to the Radio Times (dated 28 June - 4th July 1980) when BBC2 were showing the horror double features

Love this idea!

I actually printed out some prints of some old TV Times/Radio Times Xmas covers recently. Going to put them up at Christmas.

Great thread idea and I can't believe that cover - it's so un-Radio Times!

Did you never see 'Queenie's Castle?'

Imagine a 70's version of 'Only Fools And Horses'!

It's hardly psychotronic then is it.

If you are going to stick to what you said in the original post then it should be a good and interesting thread, otherwise...
