Additional Notes

  • This years release agin followed the format (and success), of recent years, with two releases the Doctor Who The Official Annual 2010 (published by BBC Children's Books) AND the Doctor Who Storybook 2010 (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 during the year of Doctor Who Specials which saw the Tenth Doctor travelling alone, the cover featured a large shiny foil cover with the Tenth Doctor on the front and the TARDIS on the back cover.
  • This years annual had a price increase and a lower page count to that of last years.
  • This annual had "The 10th Doctor's Last Annual!" written on the back cover.
  • Individual page credits are given on the title page but are not completist.
  • On page 17 there is a mistake:
    • In the Annual: "Having fled the destruction of the Dalek Empire in the year 200,100 in a Voidship..."
    • Correction: "Having fled the destruction of the Dalek Empire in the Time War in a Voidship..."
