The 4th Doctor : Tom Baker (1974 - 1981)

The gallery below shows the fourth Doctor books in transmission order, including all the cover variations as they were reprinted. Click here to see ALL the Target novelisations in publication order. In 2012 a novelisation of the missing episode 'Shada' was published in hardback. This episode never made it to TV though it was partially filmed, and was originally scheduled to be shown at the end of season 17, after the episode 'The Horns of Nimon'. In 2015 'The City of Death' was finally novelised and published by BBC Books. In 2017 'The Pirate Planet' was also novelised, completing the fourth Doctor series.

All of these are in my collection
