2020 British Annuals Checklist

British Annuals 2020 MontageNow all this year’s 2020 annuals are on sale – with the Strictly Come Dancing annual released just this week – here’s your guide to what’s on offer in bookshops and supermarkets across the country…

Sadly, there definitely doesn’t seem to be a single Marvel related annual on offer this year – a sign of the times? We didn’t get a reply from past publishers to queries about this, unfortunately.

Older readers will, of course, also bewail the dearth of comic strip-dominated annuals of old. Although Egmont did experiment with a range of “heritage” annuals a few years back, there’s nothing like that this year, so no Whizzer and Chips for us… With a distinct lack of newspaper strips now being published, there’s no collections of the year’s strips to savour either – although we do of course get another Giles collection, assembling a variety of strips of many years now past.

But if you’re a football fan, there’s definitely no shortage of choice on the shelves – and who hasn’t picked up the deeply disturbing Scarfolk Annual yet, if it’s 1970s (warped) nostalgia you’re after?

Any links below are for AmazonUK (Affiliate Links which help support downthetubes – thanks) all information about the annuals is as provided by publishers. Do note that while most publishers list their annuals with a 2020 date some, such as Private Eye, list them as 2019. The publication dates for these are listed as this year’s releases

Fans of Giles will be delighted to receive the latest annual compilation featuring 150 cartoons to enjoy from the archives of one of the most celebrated cartoonists of the once biggest selling daily newspaper in the world, the Daily Express, whose work led to him being voted the best cartoonist of the 20th century.

A new decade means it’s time for a fresh approach, so starting with our front cover, we’ve re-booted record-breaking with an all-new design. There’s a new look inside, too, and thanks to our team of digital artists, we’ve created mind-blowing poster pages that will reveal some of our classic record holders in a whole new light.

Our ever-expanding pool of international consultants and experts help us make sense of the world around us, so join us as we explore the vast spectrum of record-breaking in 11 superlative-packed chapters. As always, we’re committed to bringing you record-breaking from the cutting edge of science, and this year we’ve produced a feature chapter on remarkable robots with the help of award-winning tech blogger Evan Ackerman. We’ve also been out on the road, adjudicating records at events as diverse as the UK National Pet Show, Skill Con in Las Vegas and BubbleFest in Wales.

Guinness World Records is nothing without its dedicated record-breakers, so we’ve also selected the best of the newly approved claims from the 50,000 applications received from the public over the past 12 months. If you want to be one of those lucky few, look out for the Do Try This At Home challenges in the VIRAL SPORTS chapter – you might even make it into next year’s edition!

Scarfolk Annual

The Scarfolk Annual

The Scarfolk Annual, as we previously cautioned here, is the facsimile of a book discovered in a charity shop in the north west of England in August 2018. The shop, and indeed town, do not wish to be identified as they are keen to “discourage the ‘occult-totalitarian tourism’ that as afflicted other areas of Britain” as people hunt for further socio-archaeological traces of the mysterious, missing town of Scarfolk – Britain’s own Brutalist Atlantis.

Apart from the archive of Scarfolk materials which was sent anonymously to the late Dr Ben Motte and formed the basis of the book Discovering Scarfolk, this children’s annual is, to date, the only complete artefact from Scarfolk ever to be unearthed ‘in the wild’.

It’s clear The Scarfolk Annual was not written to entertain children at Christmastime; its purpose was to indoctrinate young minds; in fact, one might go as far as to say destroy young minds, to an end that has been lost to us.

Viz Annual 2020: The Trumpeter’s Lips: A Rousing Blast from the pages of Issues 262~271

1979 was a year of momentous events. In Britain, it began with the so-called Winter of Discontent, as rubbish piled high in the streets and the dead went unburied. Later, guerillas stormed the US Embassy in Tehran, Margaret Thatcher entered Downing Street, and Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose while on trial for stabbing his girlfriend to death. Elsewhere, murderous dictator Saddam Hussein rose to power in Iraq, America’s Three Mile Island nuclear plant went into meltdown, and there was an anthrax epidemic in Russia following an accident at a biological weapons plant.

But it’s all swings and roundabouts, because 1979 also saw the first issue of Viz Comic going on sale. And now, with a rousing brass fanfare to celebrate its 40th year as the country’s most flatulent magazine, Viz is puffing out its cheeks to release its latest annual – The Trumpeter’s Lips.

Within the 226 pages of this lavishly produced hardback you will find the very best bits from issues 262-271, including

* Cartoons: The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist, Mrs Brady Old Lady, Roger Mellie, Eight Ace, Buster Gonad, Big Vern and many, many more

* Informative features: Let’s Go Dogging!, Secrets of the White House Shite House, How Did Henry VIII Mow His Lawn?, Who’s Who at a Car Boot Sale, and  A Day in the Life of a Model Railway Enthusiast

* Edge-of-your-seat adventures: In Search of the Giant Squid of Sumatra, The Crown Jewels Mystery, Wally Walton’s Emergency Scorpion Squad and Wall to Wall Carpet Warehouse, Ballet Nurse on a Pony, Pip of the Peloton, and Bad Bob the Randy Wonder Dog

* More articles, spoof ads, Readers’ Letters and Top Tips than you could shake a really big stick at

Just like our rubbish and dead were piled up in the streets four decades ago, Viz – The Trumpeter’s Lips will be piled up in shops and internet retailers this Christmas, guaranteeing a “Winter of This Content” (as specified above) for everyone.
