Merry Christmas from everyone here at the\u00a0Doctor Who Companion<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you’re having a wonderful Christmas Day, and are getting excited about The Church on Ruby Road<\/em>, Ncuti Gatwa’s first full episode as the Fifteenth Doctor, coming later today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you’re looking for something to read over the festivities, we’ve got you covered — with The Doctor Who Companion Annual 2024<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s completely free to download and includes a range of features, reviews, and short stories, all exclusive to the DWC, and completely free. All you have to do is download the PDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To download the Doctor Who Companion Annual 2024, just click here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fourth DWC Annual, filled with goodies. As far as we know, we’re the only Doctor Who<\/em> site to give readers an annual treat like this, and we’re pretty chuffed about that. There are features new and old, short stories written just for this annual, and reviews round-ups of this year’s episodes, The Star Beast<\/em>, Wild Blue Yonder<\/em>, and The Giggle<\/em>, as well as The Daleks in Colour<\/em>, rounding off Doctor Who<\/em>‘s 60th anniversary year. Our short stories, featuring the Sixth, Eleventh, and Fourteenth Doctors, are celebratory affairs too, and the bookending ones both ring in the new year. But you don’t have to save them for then: you can dig in right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The PDF should simply open up in a new browser tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned to the DWC across the festivities for more features, reviews, and news, as well as our traditional poll after The Church on Ruby Road<\/em> tonight…!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great Christmas, folks.<\/p>\n
