Fish Fingers and Custard is a gen Doctor Who anthology of fiction, reviews, interviews, articles, photos, convention reports, and art. It is available both in print and as a downloadable pdf.

The title is a reference to the first appearance of the Eleventh Doctor; he dips fish fingers into custard at Amy Pond's house.

"There may be no episodes of Doctor Who on the telly, but be safe in the knowledge that we are still plugging away, to bring you the best in nonsense from the depths of Doctor Who Fandom. Or Mel Bush's knicker drawer, if you prefer."
