Dr Who Annuals

Here's a question to those who grew up with the Dr Who Annuals published between 1965 and 1985. What are your memories of reading these and what do you think about them now? And did you find yourself writing your own stories - Dr Who or otherwise - as a result of reading them..?

Meanwhile, I got asked to provide a Dr Who-related doodle for a charity auction this week. This - below - was the result!  Not unrelated, I think, to all the Dr Who Seventies Annuals I've been reading...!
