It was the last novelisation of a BBC-produced ''Doctor Who'' story to be published by [[Virgin Publishing]] and the last until [[BBC Books]] published [[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who - The Novel of the Film]]'' in 1996.

* Who fandom was taken by surprise with the announcement that the American network, Fox, was to co-produce with the BBC a made-for-television film reviving ''Doctor Who'', as a possible "pilot" for a new series.

[[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (1996)|Doctor Who]]'' was scheduled to air in the spring of 1996. Filming was to take place in Vancouver, Canada, marking not only the first time a ''Doctor Who'' story had been filmed in [[North America]], but also the first time a story had been completely mounted outside the United Kingdom (previously foreign location filming had been done, with studio filming still in Britain). | |||
