This text is dummy text which will be taken away eventually. It is necessary to sometimes dump text of a certain length onto a page in order to get the system to realise that a new page has been created. Wikia have been advised of this problem, have admitted that it needs to be fixed, but yet have done sweet fanny about it. Consequently, we must sometimes put dummy text onto pages for no good reason. Please do not remove this text, as it won't be here long. Thank you.

This adaptation of [[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space]]'' was the last [[Target Books]] novelisation to use a title significantly different from that of the source material (other than the practice of adding ''Doctor Who and...'' to the titles, which remained in place for several more years, and the occasional spelling deviation).

* [[16 October]] - [[TV]]: ''[[The Hand of Fear]]'' Part 3 was first broadcast.
* [[21 October]] - [[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks]]'' was first published. Although not widely recognised, the original serials [[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Daleks]]'' formed one story arc. By [[Target Books]]' publishing the adaptation of ''Frontier'' (as [[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Space War]]'') in September, followed by part 2 this month, these two books predated the two-volume novelisation of [[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' (widely considered the first occurrence of this).
* [[22 October]] - ''The New Avengers'' debuted on UK television. This was a revival of the series ''The Avengers'' created by [[Sydney Newman]], and predated both ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' and ''Doctor Who'' as one of the first revivals of a "genre" TV series.
* [[23 October]] - [[TV]]: ''[[The Hand of Fear]]'' Part 4 was first broadcast. [[Elisabeth Sladen]] left the series. She returned to the series thirty years later in [[2006]]'s ''[[School Reunion]]''.
* [[30 October]] - [[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin]]'' Part 1 was first broadcast. [[The Master]] returned; this story was also the first (and to date, only) televised serial in which the Doctor did not share an adventure with a companion or even a companion figure.
* [[6 November]] - [[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin]]'' Part 2 was first broadcast.
* [[10 November]] - Actor [[Jeremy Radick]] was born.

* 13 - Actor [[Camilla Power]] was born.
* [[20 November]] - [[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin]]'' Part 4 was first broadcast. Following this episode, ''Doctor Who'' took a mid-season break that lasted six weeks (returning on 1st January 1977). This was the first time a season of ''Doctor Who'' was divided in such a fashion. The next time a mid-season break like this occurred was in [[2011]] with [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|Series 6]] of the [[BBC Wales]] produced series.
* [[16 December]] - [[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Pyramids of Mars]]'' was first published.
* 16 - The second edition of [[REF]]: ''[[The Making of Doctor Who]]'' was published by [[Target Books]]; this was a revised version of an earlier book first released by another company, Piccolo Books, in [[1972]], but updated to include the [[Fourth Doctor]].
* 16 - ''[[The Doctor Who Dinosaur Book]]'' was first published.
* [[31 December]] - The ''Daily Mirror'' published an exclusive short story, ''[[Doctor Who and the Hell Planet]]''; this was the first original ''Doctor Who'' short story to be published in a newspaper or outside an annual. The next original newspaper-exclusive short story wasn't published for another thirty years.
 
=== Unknown ===
* ''[[Doctor Who and the Pescatons]]'' was released on LP by [[Argo Records]]. Discounting educational programmes, this was the first original audio drama based upon the franchise, predating the releases of [[Big Finish Productions]] by decades.
