Fish Fingers and Custard - A Doctor Who Fanzine - FFAC2

As the new series is currently being filmed, we're still beavering away, attempting to bring you all the latest guff from the Doctor Who underground.  And we are underground - as I said - we're beavering away.  The last few months has seen a frightening drop in people sending stuff in (which is understandable, what with the series not being on, and all) and a quite alarming rise in postal prices here in the UK (which isn't understandable. They're just robbing bastards).  We can deal with the postal charges (no change in the prices for our readers) but we really need more contributions from people in order to maintain our existence.  If you fancy seeing your work in the fanzine please get in touch via fishcustardfanzine@googlemail.com   I can't stress enough that we'll accept ANYTHING as long as it's well written/drawn.  We exist to offer fans like you a view, so there is no agenda here to promote a particular point of view.  You can even write someth...

We're hoping to release more Issues in the next couple of months, but we can only do so with the support of our readers.  As always, we're on the lookout for contributors old or new, so if you fancy writing about anything that vaguely-relates Doctor Who, please get in touch with us at fishcustardfanzine@googlemail.com at anytime!  If you need ideas on what to write, look at the tab on the left of this page, or browse through our back catalogue!  The fanzine can only continue if people send in their stuff, so we'd be grateful if you could! We've got plenty of things planned for the coming year and with Doctor Who also building up to it's 50th Birthday - it's a great time to be involved with fandom! Cheers

A new year brings new things. Though seeing as how we are extremely lazy, we continue to bring you the same old tat that we usually do. In Issue 9 of Fish Fingers and Custard, we have the following: Reviews of The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe Where To Start - Which stories would you show to a new fan? Season 6B The BBC Bazaar - We help out BBC Worldwide with some moneymaking ideas Crafty Who - A new section dedicated to fan-made stuff! Cyber Moan - Why are the New Series Cybermen so rubbish? And much more! To download this little ray of sunshine, just right-click here and save to your computer.

..or Jenna, as the lazy people amongst us will be calling her. Maybe that's what everyone calls her, who knows. Anyway, today has seen the BBC officially announce that Jenna-Louise Coleman (that's how a double-barrel forename SHOULD be written, Sarah Jane fans!) will be taking over the bedroom (and knicker drawer) of Karen Gillan. Oh and Arthur too, but the press always seem to forget about him! Personally, I think this is a good move. Jenna isn't that much of an unknown quantity, due to roles in Emmerdale and the AWARD WINNING Waterloo Road, so at least we know that we're getting someone decent. I think it's fair to say that she's more of an experienced actress than Karen, Freema or Billie were at this point in their careers. If she nailed her audition as well as we hear, then don't worry - she'll be good and hopefully, a nice change! Even more personally, I wanted to have a different sort of companion this time around. I'm sure other peop...

  I've seen amazing things out there in space, but strange things can happen wherever you are. I have learned that life on Earth can be an adventure too. In all the universe, I never expected to find a family. I’ve become somewhat obsessed with the word ‘project’ in recent years. I’ve mainly heard the words said from a minority of people in television circles, who are actually interested in being creative, rather than just going all out to make a short-term profit. I think we’re missing something in life these days – what has happened to working on something and developing it? People in television (as well as life in general) these days are very impatient and expect instant success. Causal viewers, fans & bosses of television just don’t seem to want to watch/work on something which could potentially do well. Is it the age in which we live in, where we can get information in a matter of seconds? Elsewhere in this fanzine, you’ll read an article about how the BBC have go...
