As mentioned in the cover blurb, this was the third (and last) collection of drabbles produced by Beccon Publications — the first two (non-Who related, so not listed in this site) were the sci-fi themed The Drabble Project in 1988, and Drabble II: Double Century in 1990. More details on the publisher’s website.
