Doctor Who Annual 2023

Product Information

This meant the annuals were often limited in their choices as to which enemies the Doctor could battle within their pages.

Doctor Who 2023 start date confirmed for 60th anniversary

Some annuals/yearbooks failed to include a year date on the cover so where applicable that reference is bracketed and assumed. With the annual already such a firm British tradition and Doctor Who riding high on the back of Dalekmania, it was no wonder that plans for the first Doctor Who annual began to brew at publishers World Distributors. For the next 20 years, the annuals would face the challenge of limited photo references and access to the television scripts.They matched the tone of the stories, which now took on a disturbingly surreal feel of the Doctor being adrift in a bizarre and impersonal universe.

With a complete history of the Doctor, games and activities featuring friends and foes new and old and an exclusive short story from a favourite companion, this annual has it all. Doctor Who's BBC centenary special delivered quite the twist as Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor regenerated into none other than David Tennant. The 2014 annual was released 2013 and was the one dubbed the 50th anniversary on the cover, not the 2013 one the year prior.The licensing of likenesses was also more standard by the 80s, and the likes of Tegan, Turlough and Peri all looked refreshingly like the actors who played them. This year’s journey through time and space will take you through The Doctor Who universe like never before – to the past, present, future.

The often notoriously bizarre stories and comics sometimes went in very strange directions and companions portrayed in the illustrations and descriptions of regular characters often bore little resemblance to their actors. RTD would have all stories for the 60th written and production well advanced before he was even announced, the current filming proves that, so cant have anything to do with trolls. There was a lapse for a few years in publication before Marvel Comics secured the license to produce a Doctor Who Yearbook.

Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary specials are on their way to BBC One for 2023 with a start date now confirmed.Both publications also had their own hardbound annuals, where the occasional Doctor Who strip might be found.
