Not to be confused with IDW's 2011 Doctor Who Annual.

Doctor Who The Official Annual 2011 was the British Doctor Who annual published by BBC Children's Books. As with all British annuals, it was actually published in the year prior the cover date and therefore commemorated series 5, rather than the series broadcast in 2011.
