*War of the Daleks begun life as a four part TV story, but when the series was cancelled it held off, then it was put forward by John Peel as a possible [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel, but was rejected before finally becoming a Eighth Doctor Adventure.

I feel that its destruction in [[Remembrance of the Daleks|Remembrance (of the Daleks)]] - was a bad move, as did [[Terry Nation]]. When I sought his permission for War, he asked me to try and rectify the destruction, which I think I've done very sneakily."''<ref>[http://www.sorddin.com/broadsword-old/issue11/interview11h.html Interview with John Peel, which appeared in ''Broadsword'' issue 11]</ref> | |||
