A novelisation of this serial, written by Terrance Dicks, was published by Target Books in March 1975, titled Doctor Who and the Giant Robot. The novelisation was retitled Doctor Who - Robot when it was reprinted in 1992, using the same artwork as the VHS release. An unabridged reading of the novelisation by actor Tom Baker was released on CD on 5 November 2007 by BBC Audiobooks.
It was also one of two Doctor Who serials to have a second novelisation written, aimed at younger readers using simpler language (the other being Junior Doctor Who and the Brain of Morbius). Also written by Dicks, this edition was titled Junior Doctor Who and the Giant Robot.
