== Notes ==
* A significant number of stories in this anthology were written under pseudonyms: some names, like [[David Agnew (writer)|David Agnew]] and [[Norman Ashby]], were used by crew members in the show's history; others, like [[Tara Samms]] and [[Lawrence Miles|Lwrnc Mls]], were thinly-veiled titles easily associated with the real authors; but most were original pseudonyms. These likely included [[Stephen Lock]], [[Christopher M. Wadley]], [[Harriet Green]] and [[Steve Burford]].
* Four of the stories – ''[[The Not-So-Sinister Sponge (short story)|The Not-So-Sinister Sponge]]'', ''[[Do You Love Anyone Enough? (short story)|Do You Love Anyone Enough?]]'', ''[[Better Watch Out, Better Take Care (short story)|Better Watch Out, Better Take Care]]'', and ''[[Playing with Toys (short story)|Playing with Toys]]'' – shared a series title "Special Occasions" and featured the Fourth Doctor and [[Romana II]] in [[The Doctor's reality (The Not-So-Sinister Sponge)|a shared "Side Step"]].

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

How many lives has the Doctor had? Perhaps more than you think...

Follow the Doctor and his companions as they take short trips around the universe — perhaps to a Wild West overrun with dinosaurs, to a land where robot rabbits roam, or a planet where the Doctor must marry or die — and then step sideways into other universes — worlds full of song and dance; planets made entirely of sweets; lands of movie monsters; places where the Doctor as we know him may never have existed at all...
