'''[[Target Books]]' ''[[Doctor Who]]'' output in [[1987 (releases)|1987]]''' matched the pace of new novelisations in 1986. It was also the first year since [[Target Books (1973)|1973]] in which no novelisations of the current Doctor were published. Instead, the [[First Doctor]] was featured in the majority of the adaptations that year. Target also produced the first BBC-sanctioned [[Build the TARDIS|plans of how to build the TARDIS exterior]], along with an all-new collection of comic gags by [[Tim Quinn]] and [[Dicky Howett]] — ''[[The Doctor Who Fun Book]]''.
