Not quite true, TRT.

The UFO Annual 1971 was released in the autumn of 1970, just as some ITV regions were starting to show it.  The majority of ITV regions started to show UFO in 1971 (and, in some cases, later) and, as a result, the first UFO annual didn't sell that well.  The following year (autumn 1971) would almost certainly have seen a UFO Annual 1972 published... had the series been a bigger hit and had the first UFO annual sold better.  As it was, the publishers simply put out the first UFO annual again, thereby getting rid of the remainder of the previous year's unsold stock.  It was a terrible shame that, because of bad scheduling, UFO didn't become more popular in the UK and there wasn't a second UFO annual...

...until now.  

I understood your joke, by the way!
