Comments

For the second issue TSV underwent a radical new look, with the text shrunk down to half its previous size to fit more on each page. It also featured a redesigned cover logo (dropping "The" from the name), adapted using a style of lettering borrowed from the heading "Visual Effects" in DWM 123. TSV's first 'interview' was a transcript of a talk sixties script editor Gerry Davis gave at a convention, sent over by an American fan. The issue included a lot of inaccurate news, such as the Ice Warriors and Sil appearing in Dragonfire, that Season 25 was to feature a UNIT story called 'Pawns in Jeopardy' by Glen McCoy and 'The Seven Doctors' with either Richard Briers or Frazer Hines playing the Second Doctor! TSV was however the first place that many of its readers first learned that an actress called Sophie Aldred had been cast as 'Ace'.
