Comments

The unintentionally inaccurate news continued to dog TSV, taken in good faith from overseas fanzines and readers. This issue's major 'howler' was the revelation that the Cybermen were lurking in the basement of Paradise Towers, and there was even a sketch of a redesigned Cyberman to back this up! Readers were surveyed about Season 14 which had recently been repeated on NZ television, and The Talons of Weng-Chiang was voted favourite story. The earliest reviews of Season 24 appeared, covering just the first episode of Time and the Rani which was the only part to have reached NZ on video by publication. The first impressions were not favourable. This 32-page issue was the longest yet published and thereafter the next few issues were considerably shorter. Paul Scoones was now sole editor, as Paul Sinkovich had stepped down as co-editor though he continued to help out until issue 6.
