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.

Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book) was an alphabetical list of everything in the first three years of televised Doctor Who after its revival. It included references from all episodes from the first three series, including the Christmas specials.

Notes

  • In Doctor Who Magazine Issue 388, Russell T. Davies in his regular page discusses the entry Cruciform. Gary had assumed from the Master’s words, “ I was there when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform,” that it had occurred on Gallifrey because of the context. Russell T. Davies was clear in his own mind that it wasn’t, that the Cruciform was “more terrible than I can say, of a scale and ferocity that’s absolutely untransmittable on prime-time”, a larger part of the “disgusting, horrific, temporal hell” that was the Time War. As the encyclopaedia has a status as an official BBC books, sanctioned by the production office, the proposed entry would have become a fact, with its Gallifreyian reference. The entry was amended by Gary, leaving further scope for expansion of the Cruciform at some stage.
  • This non-jacketed hardback with a photographic cover was priced £14.99 (UK).
