'''''Loop the Loup''''' was a short story in the ''[[Doctor Who Yearbook 1994]]'' which featured the [[Second Doctor]] travelling alone. This fact makes it difficult to place the story within that incarnation's known lifetime, especially relative to televised adventures. Importantly, it revealed writer [[Marc Platt]]'s predilection for [[werewolf]] tales — a theme to which he would return in the [[Fifth Doctor]] audio tale, ''[[Loups-Garoux (audio story)|Loups-Garoux]]''.

Loop the Loup was a short story in the Doctor Who Yearbook 1994 which featured the Second Doctor travelling alone. This fact makes it difficult to place the story within that incarnation's known lifetime, especially relative to televised adventures. Importantly, it revealed writer Marc Platt's predilection for werewolf tales — a theme to which he would return in the Fifth Doctor audio tale, Loups-Garoux.
