Merry Christmas from everyone at The Doctor Who Companion<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate, and as part of a Christmas tradition (established, y’know, last year), we’ve got you a special present. We proudly present to you… the DWC Annual 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a free-to-download PDF — and a massive 85 pages!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Annual is a smorgasbord of features, reviews, and fiction, covering various eras of Doctor Who<\/em>, so we hope there’s something in there for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To download the Doctor Who Companion<\/em> Annual 2022, just click here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what’s actually inside?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annual is bookended by musical festive fiction — in fact, Peter Shaw, who has written the first tale, Born in Time<\/em>, has even curated a Spotify playlist<\/a> to accompany your reading! And there’s another bit of fiction in there, this time set during Series 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s also reviews of every episode of Flux<\/em>, plus features that go alongside them about Mary Seacole, the Weeping Angels, and specific characters from Series 13. Those are followed by an in-depth look at another sci-fi staple, Star Trek<\/em>, then recollections of the Series 9 finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and you get an exclusive preview of my book, 100 Objects of Doctor Who<\/em>. Thank you to Shaun Russell for giving me the go-ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, we start off with an exclusive archive interview with Chris Achill\u00e9os, in tribute to the great man, who passed away earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click here to download the free PDF.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned to the DWC across the festive period for a whole host of features and news, including about the New Year’s Day special, Eve of the Daleks<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merry Christmas, one and all. We hope you have a spectacular day.<\/p>\n
