Issue three of 116-page full-colour fan magazine, NOTHING AT THE END OF THE LANE is published on 16 January 2012, and as you can expect from the magazine, the content is superbly written, informative and, frequently, revelatory even for fans who think that they know everything about DOCTOR WHO (eyeofhorus.org.uk included...)
