The original Doctor Who Annual was produced by World Distributors and ran from 1966 to 1986, missing out 1972 for reasons unknown.

The stories were often bizarre with companions bearing no resemblance to the onscreen ones.

When John Nathan-Turner became the programmes producer he influenced the annual much more, tying it in with its tv counterpart and having features based on the series, therefore improving its content somewhat, and making it a more recognisable product by utilising the shows onscreen logo.

World Distributors stopped producing the annual in 1986.

With the series revival in 2005 came a brand new annual, produced by the BBC, which has become the biggest selling Annual each and every Christmas, outselling even The Beano.

It has a total redesign with fiction being given its own title - The Doctor Who Storybook and the Annual morphing into an activity book for younger readers with just the odd comic strip.

The first of the new Annuals was produced by Panini who produce the Doctor Who Magazine. One of the text stories was titled What i did on my Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow, written by Steven Moffat, it would be later televised as the award winning story Blink.
