Eye of Horus

Eye of Horus is a gen Doctor Who digest-sized anthology.
It was in print from 1983 to 1985 and then after a long hiatus went online in April 2003.
The online version is updated on a daily basis with information & news relating to the new series, presents officially sanctioned photographs from the current series, previews & reviews of forthcoming BBC DVD, Audigo, BBC Books and Silva Screen TV soundtrack releases (including spin-offs such as Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures). The site has an independent voice and does not compromise in providing a honest commentary of Doctor Who.
The fanzine's name was taken from the Classic Who four-part story, Pyramids of Mars (1975). The fanzine supported Fan-Aid North (fans raising money for famine relief).
