In 1996, the Doctor Who Appreciation Society launched a new monthly newsletter to its members. Simply called “The DWAS Newsletter”, it was the most up-to-the-minute and informative medium available to fans of Doctor Who. However, controversy soon began to dog the Newsletter, with many of the stories being denounced as fraudulent and libellous by an array of scandalised stars. In a frenzy of moral panic following threats of legal action, the DWAS decided to simply discontinue producing it, and replaced it with a dull and dry pamphlet. However, the editorial team at the Newsletter decided to carry on publishing their controversial stories anyway, simply dropping the ‘DWAS’ from the publication’s title. To celebrate the recent MBBE* awarded to a regular from the pages of the Newsletter, Peter Purves, the Vervoid is delighted to publish some classic reprinted editions of the Newsletter from its late Nineties heyday. Richard Schlicker (Editor of the Newsletter 1997-98) *Member of the bloody British Empire.
