The Dr Who Annual 1976
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Dr Who Annual 1976 was the tenth Doctor Who annual. It was published by World Distributors and released in September 1975.
All stories within the annual are reflective of the Doctor/companion line up of the Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan that had been present in the television stories throughout 1975, however shortly after this annual was published Terror of the Zygons was broadcast with Harry remaining on Earth as the Doctor and Sarah depart in the TARDIS.

Additional notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor is referred to throughout as "Dr Who" or "Doctor Who".
- The comic strip stories and illustrations are provided by Paul Crompton.
- The photographic cover uses a publicity shot of the Fourth Doctor.
- A Dutch edition of this annual was also available. The content was the same as the UK edition, but did not feature the Spaceword puzzle.
- Many of the illustrations in the book were based on early promotional photos of Tom Baker after being cast as the Doctor. Other illustrations do not resemble the characters portrayed at all - most notably those of Sarah. The illustrators, who often were given little in terms of reference material, consistently depict Harry as possessing a moustache.
- A PDF of this annual was made available as a special feature on the Genesis of the Daleks DVD release.
