* This short novel (or novella) was the first release under a subsidiary banner of BBC Books, [[Quick Reads]], an initiative to promote literacy. Quick Reads novellas are considerably shorter than the usual releases in the [[BBC Tenth Doctor Adventures]] line, roughly equivalent in word count to some of the shorter [[Target Books]] novelisations. ''I Am a Dalek'' was released exclusively in paperback format, the first New Series Adventure to not be published in hard cover. | * By causing Frank and Sandra to meet at university in 1970, rather than ten years after they left, the Doctor changes the course of history. This also creates a [[Temporal paradox|paradox]] – if Frank and Sandra had met in 1970 then the Frank in this story's timeline would not have told the Doctor that they didn’t meet until much later, and so the Doctor would have no reason to go back in time and change these events in the first place. | ||
