of the programme if it had not been rejected. The story features the Doctor and his companions encountering an ancient civilisation of deactivated robots. Doctor Who was successfully brought back to television in 2005, but for many years there were no plans to novelise episodes from the 21st century version of the programme. Instead, the BBC published original novels featuring the Ninth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Eleventh Doctor and Twelfth Doctor, and a hardback script book containing the shooting scripts for the 2005 series. Scripts for later seasons have not yet been published as of 2018, though 2005–2009 lead writer Russell T Davies has made his scripts available online. In 2007, Penguin Books revived the novelisations concept for the spin-off series, The Sarah Jane Adventures.

In 2018, BBC Books published adaptations of four episodes from the 21st century revival of Doctor Who as part of "The Target Collection".

A 45-page novella titled Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space, published in 1966, is the earliest known original long-form prose Doctor Who adventure. Short stories also appeared in other venues such as two anniversary specials produced by the editors of the Radio Times.
