The BBC has announced the re-introduction of the iconic TARGET range of novelisations which will be based on the new series of Doctor Who. "We hadn't originally planned on doing these," confirmed Justin Richards in a false beard. "But Terrence Dicks forgot to tell the magic elves who used to leave a fresh adaptation on his workbench each morning. They've been at it again, and it's not like we're going to miss an opportunity to wring some money out of this show, is it?"
The paperbacks will be priced at 75p and will feature cover illustrations from the recently exhumed Chris Archellios. And another nice touch which pays homage to the original range means that many of the book's titles will be completely different to the titles shown on screen.
The first seven books are confirmed as:
- Doctor Who and the London Eye of Death
- Doctor Who and the Party in Space
- Doctor Who and the Alien Gas Ghosts of Cardiff
- Doctor Who and the Flatulent Invasion
- Doctor Who and the Unconvincing Hacking
- Doctor Who in an Exciting Debate on the Nature of Identity with a Dalek
- Doctor Who and the Meat Ceiling
