60s Spin-off Annuals For Dr Who Companions

The 2020 annuals are about to filter their way onto the shelves of WHSmith so now seems as good a time as any to do a few more covers for annuals that could've been.

Here's a selection of spin-off annuals for some of Dr Who's companions from the 1960s - done in a period style. 

Hope you like. 

If you liked this post (or indeed, any of the 400 odd others I've done over the years), why not buy me a coffee at my Ko-fi profile. The link is here

Barbara Wright from TV's Dr Who... as an ancient Egyptian cat!

What's On TV (Issue dated 3-9 Sept 2016)

Just when you though it was safe to look at the ads in the latest TV listings magazine, you see another shocker. 

This one is a cat ornament thing done up to look like Amanda Barrie in Carry on Cleo - but with none of the allure. 

Poor pussy.

I'm sure I can produce something better to spend your hard-earned money on... 

That satisfied customer... again!

Target Books present 'The Assistants of Doctor Who'

Wasn't Barbara Wright wonderful... so sensible and so down-to-Earth... except when she attempted to change the course of Aztec history. But she did it with the best of intentions!

Fans of Doctor Who were quite rightly well-chuffed when the fledgling Target books announced a new series of 'original' novels featuring The Assistants of Doctor Who back in the primeval seventies - one dedicated to the further adventures of TV's sixth favourite history teacher.

Sadly only one was published (and even that was only available in selected outlets). 

The 'Assistants' range of novels was shelved until the eighties when Target decided it needed to inflict 'Turlough and the Earth Link Dilemma' on the world. 

And the rest is history. 

Thank God!
