For many years the Doctor Who annual, with its classic blend of text stories, incomprehensible artwork stories and totally unrelated information about space and anything vaguely scientific, was a staple part of every fan's Christmas. Unfortunately the publishers started to include material actually about Doctor Who (eg. costumes and sets) and as a result the annual ceased to be a profitable concern and was dropped.
