'''''Shada''''' by [[Gareth Roberts]] was a novelisation of the [[Shada (TV story)|TV story of the same name]] written by [[Douglas Adams]], which was intended to conclude [[Season 17]] but never completed due to labour action at the BBC disrupting production. It was the first novelisation of a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' TV story since ''[[The Novel of the Film (novelisation)|Doctor Who - The Novel of the Film]]'' in [[1996 (releases)|1996]]. Interestingly, it was the first novelisation to predate the release of its television equivalent, with ''Shada'' not receiving a television airing until [[2017 (releases)|2017]] (though there had been animated and "available footage" home video reconstructions since the 1990s). Although new editions of the other Adams adaptations have been released (in revised form) as part of the modern [[Target novelisation]] line, as of 2023 this has yet to happen with ''Shada''. | '''''Shada''''' by [[Gareth Roberts]] was a novelisation of the [[Shada (TV story)|TV story of the same name]] written by [[Douglas Adams]], which was intended to conclude [[Season 17 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 17]] but never completed due to labour action at the BBC disrupting production.
