I would assume a lot of background stuff is very much out of date the time the weekly magazine comes out the next week in some cases.Like has been mention the Star is only a little more expensive than a programme and I don't hear the same people moaning about it being a rip off.As it's not compulsory to buy either I don't know what all the fuss is about.Seems more of a 'jibe' at Philip Rising IMO .
