BBC prestige novels @ The TARDIS Library (Doctor Who books, DVDs, videos & audios)

BBC prestige novels

BBC Books currently publish 1-2 standalone hardback Doctor Who novels every year, featuring a selection of Doctors past and present. These are technically not a cohesive range as they don’t have any kind of umbrella title and most of them have little in common with each other (different Doctors, no overarching plot, different cover design, etc). They are only grouped together here under the description of “prestige” novels to reflect the fact that each one is published by itself as an “event” book, unlike BBC Books’ other novels like the new series novels, which are typically published in groups of 2 or 3 and clearly are designed as part of a larger series.

Such “prestige” novels include the long-awaited novelisations of the only 5 TV stories which were never adapted as part of the Target novelisation range: The Pirate Planet, City of Death, Shada, Resurrection of the Daleks and Revelation of the Daleks. However, the majority of them are simply standalone original novels, from authors such as Michael Moorcroft, Stephen Baxter and A.L. Kennedy.
