'''''The 1968 Dr Who Annual''''' was the third [[Doctor Who annual|''Doctor Who'' annual]] to be released, and the first to feature the [[Second Doctor]]. It was unusually anachronistic upon publication. Despite being released after the arrival of [[Victoria Waterfield]] on television, it featured [[the TARDIS]] team that existed for only one [[serial]] about a year before — that of the Second Doctor, [[Ben Jackson|Ben]] and [[Polly Wright|Polly]]. It was released in [[September (releases)|September]] [[1967 (releases)|1967]].

== Credits ==
Stories and drawings weren't individually credited, except that [[Kevin McGarry]] was credited for his factual article, "Aiming for the Moon". Instead, credits were given collectively on the contents page, thus:
* Stories and features by: [[K. McGarry]], [[J. L. Morrissey]], [[J. H. Pavey]], [[M. Broadley]], [[J. W. Elliot]] and [[Colin Newstead]]
* Illustrations by: [[Walter Howarth]], [[David Brian]], [[Susan Aspey]], and [[Peter Limbert]].
It is also possible that [[Ron Smethurst]] contributed some illustrations,{{source}} as well, though no formal credit was given him.
 
== Additional notes ==
* [[The Doctor]] is referred to throughout as "Dr Who".
* ''[[The Phoenix in the TARDIS]]'' is a non-fiction article about the series, in particular explaining the change between [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]]'s versions of the Doctor. One of the earliest non-fiction articles about the series to be published by a [[BBC]] licensee, it saw the earliest use of the term "[[regeneration]]", more than six years before it was first used on screen in ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]''. Specifically, it refers to the "regenerated Doctor".
