Novelisation

  • This novelisation is based on the original television serial TV: The Three Doctors, written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin and shown from 30 December 1972.
  • The information on the right is for the original Target edition. It featured the artwork of Chris Achilleos. (See below for information on editions with different covers).
  • This was the first novelisation to be published without using the form "Doctor Who and ..."
  • A few years after this book was published, Target Books began numbering its Doctor Who novelisations. Rather than number the stories in order of broadcast, or original publication, Target initially numbered the books alphabetically. Coincidentally, however, The Three Doctors, numbered as No. 64 in the Target series, was also the sixty-fourth story to be broadcast (if one does not consider the single-episode TV: Mission to the Unknown as a standalone story).
