Behind the scenes

January

February

  • Target Books began republishing selected novelisations with new cover designs by Alister Pearson. Other than the covers, these reprints were identical to earlier editions. A number of the reprints were issued to coincide with video releases (which often used the same cover art) and rebroadcasts. The reissues were also in most cases retitled from their original publication, either with the "Doctor Who and the ..." title format being dropped, or the book's title being changed to reflect the original broadcast title. The first two novelisations republished in the new format were DWN: Doctor Who - The War Games and DWN: Doctor Who - An Unearthly Child.
  • 15 - DWN: Doctor Who - The Happiness Patrol was first published.

  • DWN: An Unearthly Child was published in Germany under the title Doctor Who und das Kind von den Sternen.
  • Around the time of the BBC's announcement that no twenty-seventh season would be commissioned, Virgin Books, which had purchased Target Books, announced plans to launch a series of original novels continuing Doctor Who from the events of DW: Survival; the line was scheduled to launch in 1991. It was also announced that the traditional Target novelisation format would also come to an end in 1991, with all but a few stories left to be adapted.
