The Federation VIDEO'ZINE Catalog

The Federation produced the first (and, to our knowledge, the only) video magazine for Doctor Who fans from 1986-1989. Each issue was two hours long and featured fan videos, clips, interviews with Doctor Who personalities, and an episode in our continuing soap opera "Thirteen Lives to Live".

Issues are now available for ordering! Copies are made when ordered.

Availability is VHS or Beta.

The cost will be the same as it was ten years ago:
TEN US DOLLARS per issue, but with the addition of $3 postage (in other words, each VZ is $13).

Requests for Super VHS can possibly be negotiated.

NOTE: The index/catalog is the first part of the document.
The links take you down farther in the document to descriptions.
Links for Ryan K Johnson's films take you to his own website.

Further Information / Select Program Descriptions (more to come)

|||||| Who on Film & TV Parts I and II
Compilations of clips from other film and television appearances from Doctor Who stars. For example, here's where you can see Jon Pertwee in The Avengers, Katy Manning (topless) in Target, and many others including Patrick Troughton, Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen, Sylvester McCoy, Maureen O'Brien, Jean Marsh, Deborah Watling. It is likely that there will be a Part III prepared for Video'Zine Issue #10. Compiled and edited by Steve Hill.

|||||| 13 Lives to Live
An eight-part serial in which Omespud, still looking like the Fifth Doctor, attempts to gain control of the Doctor's corporeal form in order to rule the universe with an evil hand. Will the Doctor, along with the assistance of various companions and his own other incarnations, stop Omespud's evil plan in time? Will the Doctor finally discover WHO IS HIS MOTHER? (The answer is yes.) The great thing about 13 Lives to Live is that it's largely improvised and still manages to be entertaining.

More descriptions to come.
