'''[[Target Books]]' ''[[Doctor Who]]'' output in [[1993 (releases)|1993]]''' completed the [[Second Doctor]]'s adventures with two [[Dalek]] stories. In a sense, however, these novelisations aren't very much like their predecessors, in that they have a more "adult" page count and reading level. Nevertheless, they were Target's final novelisations of televised stories. Having said that, Target finished a few books shy of having novelised all the [[serial]]s of the original ''Doctor Who''. There were cases, as with [[Douglas Adams]]-penned scripts, where the author refused permission for adaptation.

Target Books' Doctor Who output in 1993 completed the Second Doctor's adventures with two Dalek stories. In a sense, however, these novelisations aren't very much like their predecessors, in that they have a more "adult" page count and reading level. Nevertheless, they were Target's final novelisations of televised stories. Having said that, Target finished a few books shy of having novelised all the serials of the original Doctor Who. There were cases, as with Douglas Adams-penned scripts, where the author refused permission for adaptation.
