Author, Writing and Publishing Notes

  • An image of the Tenth Doctor appears on the cover. This is the first time the Doctor has appeared on the cover of a spin-off series-based novel (and indeed is also the first time he has been featured as a major character, too).
  • This is also the first time the Doctor has appeared in a novelisation since the revival of the parent series in 2005. Disregarding the special case of the 1996 TV film, which was novelised, and novelisations of several radio and independent video productions, this makes The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith technically the first novelisation of a televised Doctor Who story since The Evil of the Daleks was adapted in 1993.
  • It also marks the first appearance of the Tenth Doctor in a novel outside the BBC Books New Series Adventures line.
  • Since the novelisations have skipped most of Series 2 and part of Series 3 (with future publications as yet unannounced), it's unclear whether this book is considered the 9th book in the series, although it is the ninth to be published.
