Idealogic

Our official TV guide

BACK IN THE DAY, older readers will recall, our television choices were limited to staying in and watching Coronation Street, or going outside to steal fruit off Mrs Adamson’s tree.

In 2015 things are a little different. Coronation Street is still there, but television itself now comes to our homes via more wires, fibre optic cables, wifi signals, aerials and satellite dishes than that plumber’s van parked down the road from Kim Dotcom’s place.

What hasn’t kept pace with this explosion in viewing choices, though, is time in the day to actually watch the stuff. How to choose? Simple: eschew the experts, put aside the promos and place your trust in this, the Idealog guide to on-screen entertainment and information of every kind.
