Behind the scenes

January

February

March

DWN: Doctor Who - Kinda was first published. This was the last fully photographic Peter Davison cover.

April

  • 15 - Magician and comic Tommy Cooper, who at one point was considered a contender to play the Doctor, suffered a heart attack during a live TV performance and died backstage.
  • 22 - Michelle Ryan was born.
  • 26 - Dr. Who films and Gerry Anderson composer Barry Gray died.

May

  • 03 - DWN: Doctor Who - Snakedance was first published. With this release, Target Books returns to using artistic covers, although for this and the next Fifth Doctor novelisation, a modified series logo incorporating a photograph of Peter Davison was utilised.
  • 15 - Tom Baker guest stars in the American TV series, Remington Steele, in the Part "Hounded Steele".
  • 24 - DWN: Doctor Who - Enlightenment was first published. A rare occasion where more than one novelisation has been published at different times within the same calendar month. Second and last use of the modified logo-and-photo branding for a Fifth Doctor novelisation, and the final use of a photographic element on a Doctor Who fiction book until the 1988 novelisation of DWN: Time and the Rani. As Target was not allowed to feature artistic renderings of Peter Davison at the time, this was the last appearance of an image of the Fifth Doctor on a new novelisation, although Target would finally be allowed to feature drawings of Davison when it issued new editions of many of its novelisations in the early 1990s. Target subsequently chose not to include images of the Sixth Doctor on initial releases of any of that era's novelisations; therefore, an image of the current Doctor would not appear again on the cover of a newly issued Target novelisation until DWN: Paradise Towers was published in December 1988.

June

  • 14 - BBC Broadcasting Research issues a Viewing Panel Report gauging response to Season 21 of Doctor Who, which had included the changeover from Fifth Doctor Peter Davison to Sixth Doctor Colin Baker. The season receives an Appreciation Index of 57, while newcomer Baker has received a "rather cool reception" from viewers.[1]
