(Since no one engaged on the talk page, I'm restoring the default format, which I believe is far more intuitive for readers. Please do join the discussion if this is something you disagree with though. This is probably something we should standardise across all these annuals.)

The Dr Who Annual 1968 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.[1]
