This is a list of ''Doctor Who'' novelisations, in order of publication. The first three ''Doctor Who'' serials to be novelised were the William Hartnell stories ''The Daleks'' (as ''Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks'' by David Whitaker), ''The Web Planet'' (''Doctor Who and the Zarbi'' by Bill Strutton) and ''The Crusade'' (''Doctor Who and the Crusaders'' by Whitaker). They were published in hardback by Frederick Muller Ltd; the first was also published in paperback, by Armada. Between 1973 and 1991, Target Books published almost every ''Doctor Who'' television serial as a novelisation, starting with new editions of the Frederick Muller books. When Target was taken over by Virgin Books in 1991, three further serials - ''The Power of the Daleks'' and ''The Evil of the Daleks'' by John Peel and the radio serial ''The Paradise of Death'' by Barry Letts - were added to the range. The only serials from the original 1963-1989 run of the show never to have been officially novelised by Target and its related companies are ''The Pirate Planet'' (to be published Summer 2016 by BBC Books), ''City of Death'' (published in 21 May 2015 by BBC Books〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doctor Who: City of Death: Amazon.co.uk: Douglas Adams, James Goss: Books )〕), ''Shada'' (published in March 2012 by BBC Books〔(Doctor Who News: Novelisation of Shada to be published in 2012 )〕), ''Resurrection of the Daleks'', and ''Revelation of the Daleks'', due to licensing issues with the original scriptwriters. (Unofficial fan novelisations were published by the New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club between 1989 and 2000.) The Children in Need special ''Dimensions in Time'' and the Comic Relief spoof ''Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death'' have also not been novelised. BBC Books published a novelisation of the 1996 ''Doctor Who'' television movie by Gary Russell. There are currently no plans to novelise episodes of the revived series with Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor, David Tennant's Tenth Doctor or Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor. However, in late 2007 unofficial fan-produced novelisations of the first two 2005 episodes were published as ebooks. They were quickly removed from the (website ) following threat of legal action by the BBC's Brand Protection Team. In addition to the television serials, three scripts from the cancelled Season 23 - ''The Nightmare Fair'', ''The Ultimate Evil'' and ''Mission to Magnus'' - were novelised. A short series entitled ''The Companions of Doctor Who'' comprised the novelisation of ''K-9 and Company'' along with the original works ''Turlough and the Earthlink Dilemma'' and ''Harry Sullivan's War''. Besides ''The Paradise of Death'', Target also novelised two additional non-televised stories: the radio play ''Slipback'' and the audio story ''The Pescatons''. A novelisation by Barry Letts of a further radio drama, ''The Ghosts of N-Space'', was published as part of the Virgin Missing Adventures range in 1995, as was the novelisation of the independent spin-off ''Downtime''; in the same year, the Virgin New Adventures range published a novelisation of ''Shakedown: The Return of the Sontarans.'' The most recent novelisation to be published was an adaptation by Gareth Roberts of the unfinished TV story ''Shada'', published by BBC Books in 2012. In 2013, Roberts announced that he was working on a novelisation of ''City of Death'', due for publication in 2015.〔 Roberts later announced he was no longer working on the book, rather James Goss was working on it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gareth Roberts on Twitter: "Bit of news: the amazingly talented @gossjam is now doing the book of City Of Death. It'll be fantastic!" )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doctor Who News: Gareth Roberts no longer writing City of Death book )〕 The book was published in May 2015.〔http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/editions/doctor-who-city-of-death/9781448141685〕 In 2005, BBC Audio released unabridged audiobook versions of the first three Frederick Muller novelisations, read by actor William Russell (who played Ian Chesterton). Beginning in September 2007, they began releasing further unabridged audiobooks of the Target novelisations at a rate of approximately two every two months; the books themselves remain officially out of print. BBC Books began reprinting selected titles starting in July 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doctor Who News: BBC Books: Classic Novelisation reprints )〕 ==Publication details== Although Target endeavoured to commission the original scriptwriters to novelise their own stories, this was not always possible. As a result, many books in the Target line were written by Terrance Dicks. During the late 1970s to early 1980s, Target, which classified the novelisations as children's fiction, imposed a page limit of 128 pages. Some books (particularly several by Dicks) even fell short of this limit. By the late 1980s, however, the page cap had been lifted, although John Peel was still required to split his novelisation of the epic 12-episode ''The Daleks' Master Plan'' into two volumes because the manuscript was too long. Target began numbering its novelisations from 1983, with almost all of the first seventy-three books being numbered as reprints came out. The first new book to be numbered was ''Time-Flight''. Target's numbering did not initially reflect original publication order (which would have placed David Whitaker's ''Doctor Who and the Daleks'' book first), but rather was conducted in alphabetical order, so that the novelisation of ''The Abominable Snowmen'' was numbered "1". The numbering likewise had no connection with production or broadcast order. Due to print delays and last-minute reordering of publication schedules, some of the later books were released out of numeric order. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Doctor Who novelisations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
