The Happiness Patrol Webpage (& Fanzine) for Lesbian and Gay Dr Who Fans & Friends
People have visited this site since mid Oct 97.
This webpage is dedicated mainly to that strangely engaging British series Doctor Who - with a slightly BENT angle. There have been three "episodes" (so far) of The Happiness Patrol, and all the articles (and cover illustrations) are here for you to see on the website. Contributions, of any kind, are welcome for our next "episode". Contributors get a free copy of the "episode", unless we make the move to 100% cyberzine. (Articles do not have to have a specifically gay Doctor Who theme - even "Ellen" is acceptable!).
