Fish Fingers and Custard - A Doctor Who Fanzine - FFAC2

Fish Custard Fanzine is featured in the new Issue of Grant Bull's 'Blue Box Fanzine' which is available to purchase in print (£1.50 UK/£2.50 Overseas) from http://www.blueboxfanzine.blogspot.com/  (When I say featured, it's me and a few other fanzine editors, but it's always nice to know about these things!) Blue Box is a cracking read and I would urge you to snap up a copy.  It's retro, b+w, photocopied and full of Doctor Who love (as all fanzines should be!).  Apart from my bit (which is the main selling point, obviously!) there are Series 5 reviews, a look at The Horror of Fang Rock as well as a comic and some great art! Anyway, back to work on Issue 3 I go! Cheers Danny

I'm currently working on Issue 3 of Fish Custard and hope to have paper copies out in the first week of December. It's shaping up very nicely at the moment and I'm looking forward to getting it out there for you all to read! You can also still order some paper copies of Issue 2, from the blue link thing on the right! Meanwhile, if you have anything you would like to see published in the fanzine, please don't hesitate to e-mail us at fishcustardfanzine@googlemail.com We're also discussing Series 4 of The Sarah Jane Adventures over at our Facebook Group , so again, don't hesitate to join in if you have any views on the series! Cheers Danny

The trick to producing fanzines, on time and brimming with content, is making sure you plan ahead. I had made sure that almost half of Issue 2 was written, before I had even finished Issue 1! It’s easy just to bung in random stuff in an issue, but it’s more difficult to find the right balance, in terms of the styles and subjects of the articles. One of the things I want the fanzine to do, is to introduce the people who have become fans during the series post-2005, to look back at the vast history of Doctor Who and learn. It’s the most fascinating thing I find about the program, even more so than the actual episodes themselves! Hopefully, during the run of the fanzine, we’ll be able to delve more into this rich, illustrious history which makes Doctor Who more than just a television program. On a similar vein, I also enjoy reading accounts of fans from outside of the UK. The article in Issue 2 from Tom Spychalski, about his childhood spent watching Doctor Who via PBS, are very educationa...

I've just recently had a review of the Virgin New Adventures novel ' Timewyrm: Genesis ' published in Issue 8 of The Terrible Zodin . Free to download, TTZ has gained great popularity among Who-fans for it's original art, articles and honest opinion. Although generally written for female fans, the fanzine has contributions from (and for) the more-traditional Doctor Who fans (i.e - Men!). In fact, this Issue has been guest-edited by Jamie Beckwith , which explains why it's got more pages than The Da Vinci Code ! Anyway, enough waffling on - you can download the Issue here . Oh and look out for the review of Fish Fingers and Custard Issue 1 , by Rassilon's Rod's David MacGowan in there too!

Issue 2 of Fish Fingers and Custard is available to download now! In this Issue: "Series 5 Reviews" "Proms Report" "Fives" "Where Should Classic Doctor Who Have Ended?" "Memories of PBS Plegde Drives" "The Latest Tabloid Newspaper Rumours" And Much More! You can download the 40-page PDF here Please help support the fanzine by buying a paper copy of the Issue here (and very nice it is too!)

Issue 2 is now out in print and available to purchase! The free download will be available next week. So in the meantime..here is a little something from Issue 2 to wet your appetite! ALL THE TABLOID NEWSPAPER RUMOURS – ALL THE TIME Matt Smith Is Rubbish And Is Getting Sacked D octor Who fans have seemingly got their way. A bloke I spoke to down the pub reckons that Matt Smith will be sacked as Doctor Who, because ‘he isn’t as good as David Tennant and the geeks don’t like him’. Message Boards have been awash with calls for the actor, 16, to be booted out. I must say that I agree with them, as the internet is never wrong. Not that I steal anything off there and publish it here, mind. Despite smashing all records for most views on the BBC IPlayer and viewing figures on BBC America, SPACE and some Australian channel (not to mention the upturn in profits of DVD’s, books and other merchandise) the interest in Doctor Who is at an all-time low and I know this because my ‘insider’ said so (w...
