It’s that time of year when we dive into one of Doctor Who’s oldest, venerable traditions. The Doctor Who Annual. The 2016 edition of this much-loved book, opened by thousands of eager fans on Christmas morning is a bit of a treat. And yes, I am 43.
On the surface, this year’s book is the tried and tested mix of monster fact files, puzzles and games, punched up with a two-part comic strip and a text story featuring the Paternoster Gang. It’s a formula that’s served the Doctor Who Annual well over recent years, like a feature-length seasonal special of Doctor Who Adventures.
