British annuals are normally a collection of new and reprint material with color and black and white interiors. Published annually in hard cover, they are dated, if at all, one year ahead of the copyright. Most annuals contain illustrated text stories, comic strips and features such as puzzles, games, sometimes-even articles. Annuals based on TV sh ows often carry many photos from the show. The art, mainly unaccredited, is average to good. Commemorating the television show Doctor Who, which began in 1963. The book, 77 pages, colorfully illustrated. It contains stories, and numerous features.
Text Stories: Listen - The Stars, Out of the Green Mist, The Fathom Trap, Talons of Terror, Old Father Saturn, Galactic Gangster Comic Strips: The Time Thief, Menace of the Molags Notes: A third of the pages were again taken up with features and puzzles. Edgar Hodges and Steve Livesey provided the majority of the artwork, and Paul Crompton illustrated a couple of features. The comic strips were reinstated, featuring particularly outstanding illustrations by Livesey who left World Distributors shortly after completing work on these strips. The unnamed aliens in the strip Menace of the Molags appear to be the Daemons from the television series. The stories were again Earth-based with the TARDIS still out of action. Jo Grant was the Doctor's companion, and the Brigadier appeared in all but one story. The Master cropped up in three. The annual was printed in Italy.

Text Stories: Inter-Galactic Cat, Conundrum, Planet of Paradise, Just a Small Problem..., The Key of Vaga, Planet of Fear Comic Strip: Plague World Notes: The year 1982 is not displayed anywhere on the book. The annual is unusual in that it features both the Fourth and Fifth Doctors. Davison's Doctor appears in the stories The Key of Vaga and Planet of Fear, though as the Fifth Doctor's television debut occurred after this annual was published, artist Glenn Rix had to illustrate these stories based on reference stills of Peter Davison from All Creatures Great and Small, avoiding depicting any more than just his head, since the new Doctor's costume had not yet been revealed. The companion for both the Fourth and Fifth Doctors was Adric, and K9 appeared in all of the Fourth Doctor's stories. Only in his last story, Just a Small Problem... was the Fourth Doctor depicted wearing his Season 18 costume. Rix lacked photographic reference material of Adric, and had to work from a video recording of one of his episodes. The comic strip story Plague World was illustrated by Mel Powell. This was the first annual to use the neon logo. The logo was used on all subsequent annuals with the same colours: red lettering on a yellow background. A quarter of the book was once again taken up with puzzles and features, but one of those features, Secrets of the TARDIS, was about Doctor Who, which had previously been published in The Amazing World of Doctor Who (1976). The annual was edited by Brenda Apsley. Around 44,500 copies were sold.
Text Stories: Danger Down Below, The God Machine, The Armageddon Chrysalis, The Haven, The Penalty, Night Flight to Nowhere Comic Strip: On the Planet Isopterus Behind the Scenes: The Visual Effects Department (interview with BBC Visual Effects designer Simon Macdonald), Enter Peter Davison as Doctor Who (Colin Lavers' design for the Fifth Doctor's costume), The Producer (a profile of John Nathan-Turner's role), Set Design and Costume (interview with Janet Budden and Odile Dicks-Mireaux about working on Castrovalva) Notes: The year '1983' does not appear anywhere in the book. This was the first full-length Davison annual, and featured the comic strip On the Planet Isoterus, which was the last of its kind to appear in the annuals. Glenn Rix was again the main artist, but got to illustrate the comic strip as well this time. Although 14 pages were taken up with features, almost half of these were articles about the series itself. Titled Behind the Scenes at Doctor Who these items delved into such aspects as set and costume design, often very well illustrated with photos and drawings by the designers themselves. Articles of this nature appeared in all of the last four annuals. The companions were Tegan and Nyssa. Adric only appeared only in the strip story, which suggests that the strip was created before the rest of the annual's contents. The Master appeared in Night Flight to Nowhere, which shares some plot similarities with Time-Flight. This annual was printed in Belgium. Around 46,000 copies were sold.
Part of a BBC series commemorating the television show Doctor Who.

A number of Doctor Who annuals have been published from 1965 onwards. They have printed fiction, comics and features based on Doctor Who in the form of a slim hardback volume. The annuals were hardbound books priced at pocket money prices and released near autumn, in time for the Christmas market. Usually a mix of prose and comic strip stories intended for children, they also contained puzzles, quizzes, games and a varying amount of filler material usually having little connection with Doctor Who. From the late 1960s through to the late 1980s (with the exception of 1972), World Distributors, Ltd published Doctor Who Annual. The often notoriously bizarre stories and comics sometimes went in very strange directions and companions portrayed in the illustrations and descriptions of regular characters often bore little resemblance to their actors. The Doctor Who annuals were published each September between 1966 and 1979, after which it moved to an August publication schedule for the remain
