In 1994, a number of things set in or relevant to the Doctor Who universe were released or published.

• The John Menzies newsagent chain published REF: The Doctor Who Quiz Book (1994) by Doctor Who Magazine editor John Freeman as a promotional giveaway item.

This was to be the last reissue of this nature by Target, ending a program it had begun in 1990. The cancellation of the reprint program resulted in a planned reprint of Doctor Who and the Horror of Fang Rock (as Doctor Who - Horror of Fang Rock) never seeing the light of day, even though the new cover art had already been printed up in proof form.
