The 1968 Dr Who Annual was the third 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 and Polly. It was released in September 1967.

Additional notes

  • The Doctor is referred to throughout as "Dr Who".
  • The Phoenix in the TARDIS is a non-nartative, albeit in-universe, 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-narrative 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. Specifically, it refers to the "regenerated Doctor".
