Unfortunately, like Doctor Who episodes, some tapezines are lost forever in the mists of time. Some saw general release, others were recorded and distributed among small circles of friends, while a few never even got that far. In many cases, these tapezines will never be heard and in some cases, their editors and producers may never be traced. But here, for the sake of posterity, are a few scant details on the tapezines that either didn't quite make it or have simply fallen off the radar. The Tapezine Matrix raises a celebratory glass to...

• A.L.B.O.E.:
  or 'A Little Bit of Everything'
  Produced by Paul Chandler, this one-off tapezine covered Doctor Who and other genre television series. Made in 1989.

• Death Zone and DZFM:
  Produced and edited by Keith Musselwhite.

• Ergon:
  An early attempt by Nick Goodman of Rayphase Shift which was wiped, never to be heard by fandom or its real star - Nick's cat.

• The Faceless Ones:
  Produced and edited by Nicholas Williams of Banbury, Oxon.

• Meglos:
  Another Keith Musselwhite production.

• The S.F.O.W. Express:
  Produced by the Salisbury Federation of Whovians, a DWAS Local Group, this ran to at least three issues and infamously contained the audio play, Genesis of the Wogans.

• Sonic Force:
  The 'pilot' version of Alan Hayes and Paul Hewson's Sonic Waves. Similar, but with a duff moniker!
