* This year's release followed the format (and success), of recent years, with two releases: the ''Doctor Who The Official Annual 2009'' (published by [[BBC Children's Books]]) and the ''[[Doctor Who Storybook 2009]]'' (published by [[Panini Comics]]). While the latter presented a series of short illustrated fiction stories, the former concentrated on the lighter side of activities, games, puzzles and, once again, all new, comic strip stories.

* Of particular note is the increased page count, the addition of a third comic strip story, a second prose story, posters with an unobtrusive "cut" line near the spine, pitched at a slightly older audience, more features than before including ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'', all for the same price as [[Doctor Who The Official Annual 2008|last year's annual]].

* Early prototype cover shows the Tenth Doctor and three of the same [[Sontaran]] ([[General Staal]]) on the cover.
