*The last few APs were, predictably, barren of games, and seven boxes were frequently one, two or (gulp) even three too many.

Clearly, expecting Sue to redesign the page (voted by the AP Art Eds the most fiddly, unsatisfying and generally horrible ever in the history of all things) each time the games fell short was stupid and perilous. Far easier and more sensible to make up the numbers by passing opinion on cups of tea, or the weather, or Tim's son Jack's toy lorry.

AP63's low point of just two reviews meant Points of View was absent for only the second time in the mag's history (the first, in the low AP30s, had been because there were too many games: there wasn't room), except exactly the same thing happened in AP64, which similarly reviewed but two games, and the final issue, where we were all brutally slain.

It's poignant, therefore, that what turned out to be the last Points of View guest is, in a reference to that issue's Back Page tribute to legendary editor Charles Michael "Eddie" Penkethman, the disembodied voice of Eds everywhere.
