FHM Magazine March 2002 Joanna Taylor Emma Caulfield Johnny Vegas SKU 1559

Original FHM Magazine – March 2002, Issue 147, featuring Joanna Taylor prominently on the front cover.

This is a substantial early-2000s issue with a strong mix of television personalities, entertainment, fashion, sport, motoring and lifestyle material. The cover is heavily focused on television stars of the period, making it particularly interesting for collectors of early-2000s British TV and celebrity magazines.

Cover & Joanna Taylor Feature

The front cover features Joanna Taylor, described on the cover as a “soap kitten”, with the main promotion highlighting actresses connected with some of the biggest television programmes of the era.

Joanna Taylor also receives a dedicated feature beginning on page 116, with the contents page referring to her association with Hollyoaks.

The photographed issue includes a full-page and double-page photographic layout from the broader television-themed material, with glossy studio photography typical of FHM's early-2000s presentation.

Television & Celebrity Content

A particularly strong aspect of this issue is its concentration on recognizable television names and programmes.

Visible features include:

• Joanna Taylor – major cover feature.
• Emma Caulfield – dedicated feature beginning on page 155, associated with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
• Johnny Vegas – feature beginning on page 96.

• Cover references also highlight Buffy, Dawson's Creek, Sabrina, Dream Team and Friends.

The photographed interior also shows an extended “Screen Queens” section looking at women appearing across television, including a large glossy photographic spread.

Other Features

The contents pages show that this is much more than a celebrity issue, with a wide variety of typical FHM editorial material from the period.

Notable visible subjects include:

• Jenson Button in the FHM motoring/test section.
• Spring Fashion Special running across a substantial part of the magazine.
• Top Cameras feature.
• Football-related material and skills/features.

• Technology and “Man Stuff” pages.
