If you mention Dr Who books to most people, they'll probably think of this series of books - novelisations of each of the televised stories, adapted from the scripts and done either by the script writers themselves, or more often, particularly the 60s and 70s adaptations, by a certain Mr Terrance Dicks. Unlike more recent books they were mainly aimed at a younger audience (but don't let that stop you!). They are all long out of print, the last few reprints being published around late-1992, but they are still available in good quantity on places like e-bay and Amazon Marketplace. A few stories were never novelised and these are noted below. Up until the late 70s the books frequently carried the title 'Doctor Who and...' followed by the story's screen title (e.g. Doctor Who and the Aztecs, Doctor Who and the Ark in Space etc), and occassionally the novel's title was completely different to its screen title (e.g. the novelisation of 'The Web Planet' was in fact 'Dr Who and the Zarbi'). All books are listed here by their screen title. Where available click on a title for more info. | |||||||
