This is a work of non-fiction.
Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.
The Doctor Who Crossword Book was another in a series of licensed quiz books published by Target Books who were better known for their series of novelisations. This book took the form of crosswords rather than quizzes.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Great Intelligence trapped the whole of Central London inside one (3,2,4)
The Time Lords brought them together to fight Omega (3,5,7)
These are not the co-ordinates of some exotic planet or a coded message from outer space. They're just two of the clues to be found in the new Doctor Who Crossword Book.
Whether you're trapped in a time warp or caught in a traffic jam, why not add a new dimension to those wasted moments and enter the worlds of Doctor Who.
