A letter writer suggests that Joanna Lumley would make a good Doctor... Reviews - The fourth story of the 23rd season is reviewed -"The plot of the episodes was basically a runabout, with twist after twist and as such, it worked well and looked good." Other Regulars - A new four part comic strip, The Gift, begins. Boxpops - ALF debuts on ITV on 25 April. Top of the pop charts in April 87 were Let It Be by Ferry Aid and La Isla Bonita by Madonna. Skaro Says - Si Hart notes that this month's issue has a better cover, and liked the feature on Special Effects. Craig Rollins finds this an unmemorable issue, with even the Colin Baker interview being a reprint from The Sun. He hated ALF. Jonno never bothered with ALF, having never been too keen on comedy sci-fi. For him, we go from one of the worst covers to one of the best covers in the space of one month! Andrew Curnow remembers nothing about this issue, other than that the cover is a definite improvement on the previous issue. Jon Masters describes The Gift as one of the worst comic strips ever produced. He did enjoy the interview and the feature on Visual Effects. |
