Additional Notes
- This was the first of five Yearbooks from the publishers of Doctor Who Magazine and did not a year date on the cover.
- Aimed at the Christmas market the year stated on the cover, (or else used to identify an Annual or Yearbook), announces the next year (i.e. this 1992 Annual was published in 1991).
- A good working relationship had been forged over the years between the Magazine (whose editor at the time was John Freeman), and the then producer of the television series John Nathan-Turner. After World Distributors had decided not to renew their license to publish a Doctor Who Annual the license was picked some years later by Marvel Comics, UK.
- The `Annual` title was dropped in favour of `Yearbook` in an attempt to clearly distinguish this publication from earlier published titles. Like the previous Annuals, the Yearbooks offered a mix of articles, new fiction, and comic strip material, but of a significantly higher quality, and relevance to the parent television series.
- The Yearbook also offered a holiday special to readers of the monthly magazine title.
- `The Brief Encounters` fiction was an occasional strand of new fiction short stories which ran in Doctor Who Magazine that featured characters that had at some stage in their life met the Doctor.
