Other works published
In 1999, a fan documentary The Making of Fury from the Deep was produced by Richard Bignell with original interviews from Michael Briant (Production Assistant), Margot Hayhoe (Assistant Floor Manager), Peter Day (Visual Effects), John Abineri (Van Lutyens), Roy Spencer (Harris) and an archive interview with director, Hugh David. It was released as bonus of Loose Cannon Productions's 2005 release of their LC22 reconstruction of the story

In 2009, Nothing at the End of the Lane published Farewell Great Macedon, an omnibus that featured an unproduced First Doctor teleplay of the same title; the book also included a single-episode script entitled The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance. Both were by Moris Farhi. After the scripts were published, Big Finish Productions announced it would be producing audio dramas adapting the two stories; these productions were released in the fall of 2010.

The company has also published an omnibus collecting the first two issues of the fanzine, as the individual issues are now out of print.
