Launched in 1989 it originally featured adult cartoons like Modesty Blaise but quickly dropped them in favour of more child friendly fare such as Asterix.
It also included reviews of various toys and songs, interviews with celebrities, including Will Smith, Gail Emms and Matt Groening, and interesting events coming up during the week.
The last printed edition of the Funday Times was published on Sunday 12 March 2006. After that date, it was only available online. The print edition of the Funday Times ran for nearly 20 years before it was discontinued.
