Doctor Who Annual by Brenda Apsley
Text Stories: The Oxaqua Incident, Winter on Mesique, The Creation of Camelot, Class 4 Renegade, The Volcanis Deal, The Nemertines, Fungus
Behind the Scenes: The Designers by Brenda Apsley (costume designers Amy Roberts and Dee Robson profiled, featuring designs from The Keeper of Traken, Arc of Infinity, Mawdryn Undead and Terminus).
Notes: The year '1984' is not displayed anywhere on the book. Glenn Rix illustrated some of this annual, but a picture of the Fifth Doctor's face he'd painted for page 3 was replaced by a photograph. The Doctor's companions were Tegan and Turlough, although he was companionless in Fungus, and each companion was absent from one additional story. The Brigadier and UNIT appeared in The Nemertines. The Master appeared in The Creation of Camelot in which he was revealed to be Merlin, years before the Doctor himself assumed this identity in Battlefield. For this annual and those that followed, the features unrelated to Doctor Who were dropped, though The Nemertines included a diagram explaining osmosis in relation to the story. In acknowledgment of the twentieth anniversary of the show, a three page, well-illustrated article profiling the five Doctors and a Doctor Who quiz were included. The annual was printed in Italy.
