In Print
A novelisation of this serial, written by Philip Hinchcliffe, was published by Target Books in 1980. This is the only one of Hinchcliffe's three novelisations that did not come from his own period working on the programme.
The artwork on the novelisation had originally been prepared for an aborted adaptation of The Edge of Destruction. Incoming Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner was unhappy with the grey colour of the TARDIS and the red colour of the light on top. Although he requested that the artwork be amended appropriately, his suggestions were not acted upon.

Famous quotes containing the word print:
“Who should come to my lodge this morning but a true Homeric or Paphlagonian man,—he had so suitable and poetic a name that I am sorry I cannot print it here,—a Canadian, a woodchopper and post-maker, who can hole fifty posts in a day, who made his last supper on a woodchuck which his dog caught.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For a long time I was reporter to a journal, of no very wide circulation, whose editor has never yet seen fit to print the bulk of my contributions, and, as is too common with writers, I got only my labor for my pains. However, in this case my pains were their own reward.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
