The Pescatons (novelisation): Difference between revisions

This novelisation is based on the original audio release ''[[Doctor Who and the Pescatons (audio story)|Doctor Who and the Pescatons]]''. It has the distinction of being the final release by [[Target Books]] in the shorter paperback format that had been used since the book series was launched in 1973. It was not, however, the last Target novelisation as additional releases would occur in the larger format of the [[Virgin Missing Adventures]] line. Three more books were published under the Target Books series line, however, this was the last to feature the Target Books logo, and a book number, on its cover (later volumes would include this only on the inside title pages).

 

Although Target (and later Virgin) would publish novelisations based upon ''Doctor Who'' radio plays, this remains the only official novelisation of a ''Doctor Who'' audio play, as none of the later productions by [[Big Finish Productions]] have, to date, been adapted in this way.

 

This was the first novelisation to feature the [[Fourth Doctor]] since the publication of ''[[Meglos (novelisation)|Meglos]]'' in [[1983]] – a gap of 8 years between publications.
