The book saw a dramatic change in the style of Crompton's artwork for the better, which he jokingly puts down to being 'probably on the wagon at the time', after blaming his earlier illustrative excesses on the influence of alcohol. The Doctor's companion was Leela, but whilst the Doctor was well-drawn, Leela was unrecognisable. A number of images from other television shows and films cropped up in this annual; page 29 featured a character from Village of the Damned, the story Flashback had characters and sets from Space 1999, and the character Emsone in the story Emsone's Castle was dressed in a costume from the film Things to Come. Paul Crompton took over some of the writing on this annual. He penned both comic strip stories, and by doing so was able to create his images then write a story around them, the reverse of the normal process of comic strip creation. The games and features content were considerably lower this year, with only 11 pages occupied by this material. less
