Additional Notes

  • This years 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). While the later presented a series of short illustrated fiction stories, the former concentrated on the lighter side of activities, games, puzzles and, once again this year, all new, comic strip stories.
  • Released in the UK following the fourth television series (with the Tenth Doctor) the cover featured a large shiny foil cover with the Tenth Doctor and the Supreme Dalek on the front and Davros on the back cover.
  • 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 appeal more features than before including The Sarah Jane Adventures and ... best of all ... all for the same price as last year! This is destined to be a bigger seller than even last years!
  • Individual page credits are given on the title page but are not completist.
