== January ==
* [[Dalek Operator]] [[Murphy Grumbar]] died.
* [[24 January (releases)|24 January]] - [[DWM 170]] was released.
* [[1 June]] - Writer and producer [[Milton Subotsky]] died.
* [[7 June]] - Actor [[Eric Francis]] died.
* [[18 June]] - Actor [[Ronald Allen]] died.
* [[20 June]] - ''[[Timewyrm: Genesys]]'' was first published, launching the [[Virgin New Adventures]] line of original ''Doctor Who'' fiction, the first ongoing series of original novels based upon the series. The book was initially controversial with readers unaccustomed to adult themes, sexuality and language in ''Doctor Who''. It was also the first volume of a planned four-book story arc, the first time such an extensive story had been attempted in ''Doctor Who'' literature.
* [[21 June]] - Actor [[Ivor Salter]] died.
* [[2 July]] - Writer [[Don Houghton]] died.
* [[18 July]] - ''[[Battlefield (novelisation)|Doctor Who - Battlefield]]'' was first published. This was the last [[Target Books]] novelisation of a televised serial to be published in the short-page count paperback form in place since [[1973]]. Later serial adaptations were published with a higher page count. This book completed the adaptations of the [[Seventh Doctor]] era, not counting the [[Doctor Who (1996)|1996 telefilm]], which was novelised by [[BBC Books]].
* [[25 July]] - [[Marvel Comics]] published the ''[[Doctor Who Yearbook 1992|Doctor Who Yearbook]]'', an attempt at reviving the [[Doctor Who Annual|Annual]] concept that had been abandoned by World Distributors after [[1985]]. The experiment was a success and several more Yearbooks were published over the next few years.
* [[26 July]] - [[Lime Grove Studios]] was formally closed by the BBC. The buildings remained still standing but empty until they were demolished in [[1993]].
* [[15 August]] - ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus]]'' was first published. This was [[Terrance Dicks]]' first original (non-novelisation) ''Doctor Who'' novel, and his first since ''[[The Space Pirates (novelisation)|Doctor Who - The Space Pirates]]''.
* [[18 August]] - Actor [[Barbara Leake]] died.
* [[20 August]] - Actor [[Betty Bowden]] died.
* [[23 August]] - Producer [[Innes Lloyd]] died.
* [[26 August]] - The original [[The Pilot Episode|Pilot Episode]] of ''Doctor Who'' was first broadcast on UK television. This was a version of ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'', the first episode of the series, which had been rejected for broadcast.
* [[29 August]] - Actor [[Dallas Adams]] died.
* [[30 August]] - Actor [[Alan Wheatley]] died.
* [[31 August]] - [[Script editor]] [[Gerry Davis]] died.
* [[15 September]] - ''[[The Pescatons (novelisation)|Doctor Who - The Pescatons]]'' was first published. This novelisation of the 1976 audio story ''[[Doctor Who and the Pescatons]]'' was the first and only [[Target Books]] novelisation based upon a story that was not produced by the [[BBC]]. It was the final release by Target in the "short paperback" format that had been used since the line was launched in 1973. The last remaining Target novelisations appeared in longer-format (higher word count) works of the same format as the [[Virgin Missing Adventures]] line.
* [[17 October]] - ''[[Timewyrm: Apocalypse]]'' was first published.
