New Year, Same Old Stuff!

-
Hello!  I hope you all have had a good Christmas?  Issue 4 of Fish Fingers and Custard is now well into production and I hope to have it out sometime next month!  If you fancy sending anything in (and I mean ANYTHING!) don't be shy, just send it to fishcustardfanzine@googlemail.com

If you're unsure about what to write, you can always send in your reviews of 'A Christmas Carol' (the Doctor Who episode, not the Muppets or the Dickens version!)  Please keep your reviews to (what we call) a sensible length (about 500ish words) and send them in to the address above.  I will publish every review sent in, but depending on how many I receive - some may be published on this website.  (But it's unlikely that I'll get a deluge of reviews, so they should all appear in the issue!) The deadline is 4th February.

Finally, can I just direct you to our new YouTube account.  We'll be updating it on a regular basis with some silly Doctor Who stuff, interviews and poor-quality camera shots of a toy Dalek!  You can find our channel at this address: http://www.youtube.com/user/FishCustardFanzine

Cheers and all the best for the New Year!

Cash Cows Go To Cardiff!

As I write this, the BBC (or BBC Worldwide) have dropped a bollock by announcing an official convention, with Matt Smith and Steven Moffat. Great news! Well, not really. To get into the convention, you have to part with £99 which doesn’t include autographs ( £20/25 per signature, depending on whichever person you want to sign) and photographs at the same price.  All that is before you have to think about travel to and from Cardiff, food, drink and hotels...it all mounts up. I’m not for one minute saying that you shouldn’t go, as that’s up to you, but surely you can see that this is just a blatant rip-off? Using Doctor Who as a tool to rake in money in the most obscene way possible – by ripping off the very people who love it. And I’ve not even mentioned the best bit yet – Children aren’t really welcome... You heard me right, Children and Families - the very people the show is made for, are NOT advised to attend. What does the convention contain? Lapdancers with Cybermen mask

With the world possibly coming to the end, we’d thought it the perfect time to make a dramatic return to ensure we don't go out on an odd number. Providing Doctor Who fans with something to read on the toilet since 2010, we are delighted to be back and are ready to tackle the news, views and issues currently surrounding the show. Oh dear. Packed with the same old nonsense as before (just slightly older and better dressed), in Issue 18, you will find: The Curse of Time – Are all Doctor Who stories with ‘Time’ in the title destined to not be very good? The Doctor Who Cookbook – A review of one of the more ‘left-field’ official publications. 10 Years of Fish Custard – How we took 4 years off but still claim to have been ‘fanzining’ for a decade. Returning Villains – Which classic Who baddies are due for a return? Obituaries for John Hurt and Deborah Watling And plenty more besides You can download the issue here (click the link, then save it to your device) or
