From the Tom Baker years comes this annual with features about the Doctor Who programme, character plus some science articles which includes a page that tells us Pluto is a planet. No longer accepted these days (or is it) though since I grew up with the idea it will always remain the Ninth Planet to me!
There's also a couple of comic strips which considering that these were the mainstay of Doctor Who Monthly's features these were certainly not up to the standards one would expect but then a lot of these World Distributors annuals were produced on a budget. However I would have thought Doctor Who was a solid seller worth the extra effort. Both strips Terror on Taboi and The Weapon feature Mary Tamm as Romana.

There are also some illustrated prose stories. Never used to read those as a kid. Books fine but for annuals I wanted comics. Sadly just space filler.
A good piece of nostalgia for us oldies but not outstanding I'm afraid.

And to end here's a brief clip featuring the late Mary Tamm. RIP.
