* Some of the Time War events involving [[the Animus]] and the [[Eternal]]s mentioned there were later used in the novel ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]''.

Additional notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • With the new series on television proving such a success, it was not surprising that 2005 also saw the return of the Doctor Who annual.
  • Once again the license to publish the title was picked up by the publishers of Doctor Who Magazine, with Panini Comics having now taken over the title and rights from Marvel UK.
  • The Annual was the usual mix of comic strip, short stories, features and puzzles, and was a great success[source needed] in publishing terms: so successful, in fact that by the following year two titles were released that fit the definition of Annuals (i.e. a hardback book, published around September and intended for the Christmas merchandising market, with a limited shelf life and often, but not necessarily, year dated on the cover).
  • The following year would see the publication of the Doctor Who The Official Annual 2007, published by BBC Books and the Doctor Who Storybook 2007, published by Panini. While the latter presented a series of short illustrated fiction stories, the former concentrated on the lighter side of activities, games, puzzles and a reprinted comic strip story from Doctor Who Adventures, and was aimed at a younger audience.
  • Russell T Davies's contributions to this Annual are significant. As well as offering a full biography of Rose Tyler which detailed many elements only alluded to on television, Russell gives an overview of the Ninth Doctor and perhaps more significantly, his involvement in the Last Great Time War and its legend.
