Fame News!

Another Month is upon us and we have our usual round of of Trivia, Magazine clippings, Interview, Pictures and Songs.  



The Episode of the Month is Mister Wacky's World and we'll also be posting the script to that episode. Many thanks to Daniela for sending it to us. 


This month the Fame picture strips continue however by February 1984 Tops magazine was no more and it had been absorbed by Suzy Magazine to become Suzy Tops.

The Fame picture strip was one of the few things that were moved from Tops and it continued in Suzy Tops from issue 75 dated 11th February 1984 to Issue 104 dated 1st September 1984.  

Issues  78, 81, 84, 88 and 93  replaced the Fame Picture Strip with a Fame Feature. 

These magazines are rare and I only have a couple. If anyone has any copies to share then please contact me.
