Length: 64 pp "A fracture in time, but not a simple break, something that's causing massive distortion of time and space within a given area, of which this room, the steps, the square outside are all part. I can't quite put my finger on it, but perhaps it's like a crossed circuit; two, maybe more sets of circumstances all trying to crowd into the same time and space, so that we can have both a live President and an assassination, a windy, grey day and a sunny afternoon, all vying for the right to exist simultaneously. Is that too absurd?" - Extract from the book." (Copyright World International 1980) The 1981 Sapphire & Steel annual contained the following short stories: Bid Time Return: (8 pages) A reference to Shakespeare's Richard II, as two actors get pulled out of time. Rogue Robot: (5 pages) A copyright-worrying story as the titular robot has more than a passing resemblance to the creature from Doctor Who's 1974 tale Robot. A £40,000 "X45?, this laser-wielding creation was paid for by "one of those emergent Latin American countries." The story also gives us Sapphire taking time forward... by a whole year! Chamber of Horrors: (5 pages) Six university students celebrate rag week not by smoking copious amounts of illegal substances like you might expect, but by staying overnight in a wax museum. Then the wax dummies come to life, sapping the energy of the students while they sleep... Star Gazing: (9 pages) Sapphire & Steel arrive at an £8 million, ten-year-old observatory, only to find it plagued by echoes of 367AD... Finger of Blood: (7 pages) Here Sapphire & Steel travel to America in order so that President Hennessy will be assassinated. With four converging realities, the odds are against them. Also included were features on The Bermuda Triangle, UFOs, The Mary Celeste (4 pages each), The Lost Colony, Black Holes, Reincarnation (3 pages each) and telepathy/thought photography (2 pages each).

Notes: The year 1982 is not displayed anywhere on the book. The annual is unusual in that it features both the Fourth and Fifth Doctors. Davison's Doctor appears in the stories The Key of Vaga and Planet of Fear, though as the Fifth Doctor's television debut occurred after this annual was published, artist Glenn Rix had to illustrate these stories based on reference stills of Peter Davison from All Creatures Great and Small, avoiding depicting any more than just his head, since the new Doctor's costume had not yet been revealed. The companion for both the Fourth and Fifth Doctors was Adric, and K9 appeared in all of the Fourth Doctor's stories. Only in his last story, Just a Small Problem... was the Fourth Doctor depicted wearing his Season 18 costume. Rix lacked photographic reference material of Adric, and had to work from a video recording of one of his episodes. The comic strip story Plague World was illustrated by Mel Powell. This was the first annual to use the neon logo. The logo was used on all subsequent annuals with the same colours: red lettering on a yellow background. A quarter of the book was once again taken up with puzzles and features, but one of those features, Secrets of the TARDIS, was about Doctor Who, which had previously been published in The Amazing World of Doctor Who (1976). The annual was edited by Brenda Apsley. Around 44,500 copies were sold.</p>
