Merry Christmas from everyone at the Doctor Who Companion!
And look! We’ve got you a Christmas present. It’s not under the tree. Nor in your stocking. And no, it’s not been left in the big bin by a delivery driver.
We proudly present to you… the very first DWC Annual!
This is a free-to-download fiction anthology. We gave our writers one word to act as a theme and it was up to them to see how they interpreted it. That word, of course, was companions. The Doctor has so many friends, and Christmas is a time for coming together. Not everyone can do that this year, so fingers crossed this 2021 annual will raise a smile and remind everyone that we’re part of one great community.
Thank you to James Baldock for providing us with the great front and back covers.
