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)
