 The change at Sydney into a "Doctor Who" fanclub with fanzine (Zerinza) requires an outline of some of the broadcasting context as it related to fans (in more detail above).By the mid-1970s the series was not rating well and the ABC used less and less new material every year, slowly getting well over a year behind the BBC's screenings in Britain, and missing several stories.Fed up with such sporadic sequencing during 1974–77, a Sydney fan, Antony Howe, began to agitate to have the series shown in full, and soon after the premieres in Britain rather than being screened years later.
