Torino Times is a gen Starsky and Hutch monthly newsletter/letterzine with twenty-one issues.

It was published in the UK and contains letters, art, poetry, fiction, news items and articles.

Jacky Birch began Torino Times after APB folded, and one of her co-editors began Mixed Doubles.

From a fan in Frienz #18:

TORINO TIMES was a British publication. Its editor was Jacky Birch, and there were 21 issues between 1986 and '88. I found great delight in reading this 1/z, the lone of the letters was pleasant, affectionate and sometimes really hilarious. T.T. also had a very clear structure - one episode & one fanfiction story & one special topic was being discussed each issue - and that makes it very interesting to re-read at a later point-in-time, when you're usually searching for special comments.

Last but not least, T.T. had another highlight - a steady contributor, whose episode-descriptions, told with insight and loving care for even the smallest of details, gave me my first glimpses of what S&H offers to those who are able to 'see'.
