Additional Notes

 * Following the success of the previous year's Annual by Panini, 2006 saw the publication of the Doctor Who The Official Annual 2007 (published by BBC Books) AND the Doctor Who Storybook 2007 (published by Panini). While the later presented a series of short illustrated fiction stories, the former concentrated on the lighter side of activities, games, puzzles and comic strip stories including a reprinted comic strip story from Doctor Who Adventures (DWA) (for which a page advert was included), and was aimed at a younger audience.
 * Released in the UK following the Doctor's regeneration on television from Ninth to Tenth Doctor, the cover featured a lenticular cover that when tilted, displayed both Doctors independently.
 * Content adds very little to what was already known, apart from possibly the letter from Rose, which while being a puzzle, has an `Official`status and mentions travelling with the Doctor to Tamkamela VI and America in the 1940's, where she met a boy called Neil who wanted to travel to the Moon!
 * Individual page credits are given on the title page but are not complete.
