Additional Notes

  • This annual shows more attention to the detail of the tv series than previous editions. The Doctor is still referred to as Dr Who, but less frequently and not in all stories. He is also identified as a Time Lord from Gallifrey, and uses his Sonic screwdriver.
  • Some illustrations are provided by Edgar Hodges
  • The photographic cover uses two publicity shots of the Third Doctor, the largely one evidently taken during location filming for Planet of the Daleks.
  • Oddly, two different story with the same title, The Time Thief, appears in two consecutive annuals, last year's in comics form, this year's in prose form.
