The Doctor's Journal was a set of short stories which were published in the first issue of Doctor Who Weekly. The stories essentially feature the Doctor giving a brief synopsis of a recent adventure, accompanied by fully coloured illustrations which were meant to directly tie-into transfers included with the first four issues of the magazine. The second and third parts were published more than 36 years apart, as the feature returned for the celebratory 500th issue.

The 1982 mini-book Doctor Who's little book of Villains is remarkably similar to these entries.
