February 6th, 2026 - 11:19amThe magazine is very up-and-down for me at the moment. Either the articles/interviews are just a page long, or they go on for page after page! I don’t know how the circulation figures are holding up, but in these days of watching the pennies, my subscription is under review. It’s only things like this month’s Season 21 layout that keep me subscribing at the moment.

February 6th, 2026 - 10:07amWhile the articles sound interesting, i do find it a little annoying that most turn out to be just one page long.

February 6th, 2026 - 11:02amI only really bought it for the season 21 layout. Next months issue looks good though as theres a full interview with janet fielding.
