Come i precedenti, anche il Doctor Who Annual uscito nel 2020 racconta, con ricchezza di foto, l'ultima stagione trasmessa della serie tv.
Prodotto prevalentemente per un pubblico giovane, l'Annual racconta le trame degli episodi, presenta i personaggi principali e i vari amici/nemici di ogni puntata.
Ci sono quiz, trivia e un mare di foto e, motivo per cui l'ho comprato, un breve articolo scritto da Melody Malone con una breve spiegazione di chi siano gli avversari del Dottore in Time Lord Victorious, il progetto multipiattaforma in partenza nel settembre 2020 e che convolge BBC, Big Finish, Titan Comics e Eaglemoss.
Nel complesso l'Annual resta carino da leggere e, per un appassionato, è un gadget interessante.

I just got this. Haven’t started reading yet, just flipped through it. And it just hit me: this is my FIRST Doctor Who Annual. I feel like a little kid at Christmas. I’m such a nerd. A Whovian nerd.
(An actual review will come shortly).
Well, that didn’t take long. This was fun. The pages are filled with activities: quizzes, a maze, seek & find, puzzles & games. And there are some summaries of the episodes from the previous year. All nice stuff. Yeah, it’s geared toward the younger fans, but it’s all still so delightful.
And there’s the real reason I picked this up: the connection to the big multimedia mash-up/crossover Time Lord Victorious. This offers some little factoids to get readers all excited. Really it’s just a glorified advertisement, a teaser to get the reader to buy in. In any case: I enjoyed it all.

I only got it for the Time Lord Victorious connection but I do love the 13th Doctor, so it was good for the images and info about s12.

Bought for the Time Lord Victorious tie-in, which was surprisingly very rewarding, providing some insider info on the story arc and new villains of this Doctor Who story franchise. The rest of the book would be brilliant for kids, although I did enjoy flicking through and learnt a few things about series 12 which I didn’t pick up on first watch!

Well, I've complained bitterly about the inadequacy of the first two annuals of the Thirteenth Doctor era; I'm glad to say that this winter's offering is a step up. The bulk of it consists of summaries of this year's episodes from Season 12 (or 38), but they are nicely done in the form of diary entries from the regulars, and there's also some exploration of how the stories link back to the rest of the show's history. There are also seven pages at the end looking forward to the Time Lord Victorious stories, promising us not only Brian the Ood and the Kotturuh, who have already shown up, but also the Eternals, the Racnoss, the Osirans, the Great Vampires, the Dæmons and the Dalek Empire. No original fiction apart from that, which is a bit of a shame, and some fairly pointless games and quizzes, but I would feel less embarrassed giving this to a young Whovian this year than I would have last year or the year before.

This annual was a short, fun read that provided details about series 12 of Doctor Who, games, quizzes, and a setup of Time Lord Victorious with descriptions of its key players. It was an enjoyable, but unnecessary, read. Therefore, I rate it 3 out of 5 stars. I recommend it for anyone wanting a refresher on series 12 without actually watching it. Children also may especially enjoy this book because of the games and puzzles it contains.

This annual is geared toward children, with quizzes, puzzles, journal entries concerning the different episodes of the 13th Doctors first season from the perspectives of the different companions and others.

Serves as a solid introduction to Time Lord Victorious
