Revision as of 12:29, 14 June 2023
In-universe but non-narrative fiction, as discussed at Thread:282038. I hope that, upon the return of the forums, this will help us determine what might be newly considered valid. Some things might need individual consideration.
Although this is my own sandbox, feel free to help complete the list or rectify any errors. I do not own many of these books/sources and have had to gather information from their wiki pages, previews, summaries, reviews, and online listings, so there may be mistakes.
I have listed the following categories:
- Presented as in-universe material, where the material is portrayed as actually existing within the DWU;
- In-universe perspective, where there is an omniscient "narrator" stating things as fact, but not an actual narrative;
- In-universe perspective but cites sources, same as above but facts are attributed to the story they originate from;
- Unsure, where either the interpretation as to which above category the material should belong to is contentious, or where I know the material exists but have not yet seen enough of it to discern which category it belongs in.
Additional note: Some "features", as labelled in the annuals, are actually narrative, and so are not listed here. (e.g. Problem of the Painted Planet)
Presented as in-universe material
Miscellaneous
- The Monsters
- Doctor Who: Cybermen
- Archive: A History of the Cyber Race (probably narrative)
- The Secrets of the Tardis
- The Brilliant Book 2011
- Around Leadworth (currently called a short story, but I can definitely say it's non-narrative and this is wrong.)
- The Raggedy Doctor
- Welcome to Starship UK
- The Calvierri Academy
- The Wedding of Amelia Pond and Rory Williams
- Do the Drunk Giraffe (...not sure exactly how this fits.)
- The Brilliant Book 2012
- The Official Doctionary (possibly narrative?)
- The Doctor: His Lives and Times (partially, there is a section for each Doctor divided between in-universe material relating to their adventures, some of which is narrative, and then a separate "Behind the Scenes" section. The way to handle this in the first place needs further discussion.)
- The Secret Lives of Monsters (possibly narrative?)
- TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual (arguably narrative)
- The Monster Vault (presented by the Doctor as info from the TARDIS data banks, only real world info is a header for each monster saying their creator and appearances)
Doctor Who Annuals
- Doctor Who Annual 1968
- Test from Tardis (A strange case— it's a crossword puzzle, but it says the Doctor created it for himself and the companions, and includes in-universe clues, not unlike the puzzles in contemporary annuals... I'm at least listing it.)
- Back to the Tardis (same case)
- Doctor Who Annual 1970
- Dr. Who's Crossword (same case)
- Doctor Who Annual 1976
- Spaceword (same case)
- Doctor Who Annual 1977
- Maze of Mystery (similar case, an in-universe artifact that serves as a puzzle)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2016
- Friends vs Foes (yet another word game the Doctor created!)
- Fantastic Friends (something Clara wrote. Possibly narrative?)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2018
- Rooms to Rent! (might fail rule 4)
- The Twelfth Doctor's Best Bits
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2020
- Time Lord Matrix (Another crossword, supposed to be part of the Matrix.)
- Untitled (forms a narrative with the other stories in the annual, but isn't really on its own.)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2021
Dalek Books
- The Dalek Book
- The Dalekode (this is almost certainly not in-universe but I'm including it just in case)
- The Dalek War Machines
- The Dalography of Skaro
- The Dalek Dictionary
- The Dalek World
- The Dalek Outer Space Book
- Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1976
- Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1977
- Special Report (possibly narrative? Not to be confused with (a short story from the 1979 annual.)
- The Dark Side of Skaro
- Identification Parade
- Timepassers
- The Time Computer (?)
- Anti-Dalek Force Aptitude Tests
- The Calorian Stone
- Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1978 (some of these are rather unclear whether they are in-universe material or perspective, but I'm keeping them here for now.)
- Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1979
- Terry Nation's Dalek Special
- Inside a Dalek
- Illustration of Skaro
- The Dalek Pocketbook and Space Travellers Guide (reprints above features from Dalek annuals)
- Note: I just discovered it actually adds on to them, in particular The Dalek Dictionary... also has an introduction and "interview" with Terry Nation, but he and the interviewer speak as if they live in the DWU (e.g. Nation found and translated texts from Skaro, "our galaxy", "you may meet a Dalek", etc.)
In-universe websites
These may need separate consideration as a discussion was already had at Thread:121084.
- U.N.I.T.
- GeoComTex
- Torchwood website
- Torchwood House
- Cybus
- Vote Saxon
- Harold Saxon
- A bunch more very obscure tie-in websites I don't entirely understand, and aren't functional anymore. We don't have pages for them… yet. They can be visited on the Wayback Machine but don't completely work. See this old list from Wikipedia.
In-universe perspective

- The Doctor Who Monster Book
- The Second Doctor Who Monster Book
- The Doctor Who Dinosaur Book (might be narrative?)
- The Adventures of K9 and Other Mechanical Creatures (partially; might be narrative?)
- Free-Fall Warriors
- Doctor Who The Handbook (partially, the Forewords are all narrative short stories and should definitely be valid.)
- Doctor Who Poster Magazine (The first part is in-universe perspective, split into sections, some of which are narrative and some of which are not. The narrative sections are currently short stories but it seems to me the entire first part of each issue is its own feature.)
- New Series guides (all partial)

- Doctor Who Files (all fiction, includes features and stories)

- K9's Quiz (posed as info from K9's memory banks)
- Doctor Who Yearbook 1993
- Doctor Who Annual 2006
- TARDIS Teaser (which is apparently a narrative game, but is invalid just because it doesn't fit with continuity...? But I'm leaving it here)

- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2011
- New Companions
- Doctor Who in Numbers
- Know Your Enemy
- The Unstoppable Daleks
- Homo Reptilia – The Race Beneath Our Feet
- The Sarah Jane Adventures (partially. The second section has "infoboxes" that mention episodes so it probably should be discounted but I'm leaving it in case.)
- Cliff Code
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2012
- Eleven Things You Didn't Know About The Eleventh Doctor
- Did You Know...?
- Recurring Nightmares
- The Intergalactic Book of Records (it could be in-universe, but doesn't seem so)
- The Silence
- The Doctionary (not so sure about this one)
- Double Trouble
- The Official Doctor Who Annual 2013
- The Official 50th Anniversary Annual
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2015
- Meet the New Doctor!
- Regeneration
- Clara's Guide to Time Travelling
- Droids, Robots and Mechanical Men
- Secret Cyber Code
- The Paternoster Gang (but it has a random box that says "Where do you think the Doctor will meet the Paternoster Gang next?", so...)
- The Silence
- The Zygons
- The Sontarans
- Dangerous Planets
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2016
- Secrets of the TARDIS
- Black Archive
- Missy's Mash-Ups (a game with a premise that's a bit out there, but also not...)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2017
- The Zooniverse
- A Day in the Life... (possibly breaks Rule 4)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2021
Doctor Who: Battles in Time
- TBA. These are confusing.
In-universe perspective, but cites sources
- The Doctor Who Programme Guide (partially)
- Encyclopedia of The Worlds of Doctor Who: A-D
- Encyclopedia of The Worlds of Doctor Who: E-K
- Encyclopedia of The Worlds of Doctor Who: L-R
- The Terrestrial Index (partially)
- The Universal Databank (partially)
- The Gallifrey Chronicles (narrative)
- AHistory (narrative; possibly unlicensed if considered as a work of fiction)
- Lost in Time and Space: An Unofficial Guide to the Uncharted Journeys of Doctor Who (possibly unlicensed if considered as a work of fiction)?
- A Probable History of the Daleks (DW84 9) (narrative, but flows directly from an opening paragraph which acknowledges real-world elements in-text)
- A Probable History of the Cybermen (DW84 10) (narrative, but flows directly from an opening paragraph which acknowledges real-world elements in-text)
- The Doctor Who Illustrated A to Z
Unsure
- The Amazing World of Doctor Who (There are many informational features, and some mention the show while some don't. While the ones that don't could ostensibly be in-universe, the writing style (e.g. "when we first encountered the enigmatic character of the Doctor") which is still consistent leads me to believe they're not intended to be fiction.)
- The Making of Doctor Who 2nd edition
- TARDIS Manual
- Classified! (While there is some non-narrative information, it can be grouped with the narrative bits with ease.)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2019
- This one's pretty unusual and I'm not sure it should be handled. Narratives, features, and games are all mixed up combined and there are hints of fourth-wall breaks.
- The Book of Lists (has a "Narrative" section for in-universe facts but I'm not sure how it's written)
- The Cosmology of the Spiral Politic (currently being discussed in Thread:280332)
- Some Design Notes? Unsure.
