Additional notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Following the runaway success of the Doctor Who Annual 2006 (from Panini Comics), the BBC, keen to market the Doctor Who brand itself, renegotiated the Annual rights.
- The BBC had earlier that year launched its own fortnightly magazine title Doctor Who Adventures aimed at the young person's market, while Panini's monthly title, Doctor Who Magazine was aimed at older readers, having itself matured from its weekly comic format for children. Doctor Who was in the unique position of offering two regular television tie-in comic-strip/magazines. To appeal to both audiences, the decision to issue the license to produce two annuals, was made. Panini were granted the license to produce a hardback annual that concentrated solely on fiction for an older age group than the one published by BBC Children's Books. To distinguish between the titles the BBC retained the rights to publish the Doctor Who Official Annual 2007, while Panini published the Doctor Who Storybook. Both titles included a full page advert for their respective regular titles.
- To avoid making the Storybook any less "official" than the BBC's offering, the Storybook was allowed to use the BBC logo on the cover and a box stating "Published with permission of the BBC" appeared on the back.
- The introduction, by way of "A letter from the Doctor", is a direct lift from the first and very early issues of Doctor Who Weekly (as Doctor Who Magazine was formerly known as), even down to the Doctor's signature at the end. This time around the letter was, as dictated to by Russell T Davies.
- The Storybook was issued with a dustcover that inside the front flap had a short piece "The Changing Face of Doctor Who" and in the back flap had a short piece on each of the featured writers accompanied by a small photo.
