Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Lavishly illustrated with several full page pictures, this encyclopaedia follows much the same format as Gary Russell's previous title Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia, which was equally as comprehensive in its coverage of its subject material.
- The encyclopaedia erroneously states that Toshiko Sato called Ben Taylor, when it was Gwen Cooper who phoned him.
