List of Doctor Who Novelisations - Adaptations

Adaptations

Generally, Doctor Who stories that have been broadcast will be adapted into print, rather than vice-versa. There have been some occasions where written media has been adapted for the screen or formed inspiration for television episodes.

• The 1995 New Adventures novel Human Nature, written by Paul Cornell and featuring the Seventh Doctor, was adapted by the same author for the 2007 series of Doctor Who as a two part story with the episode titles "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood", with David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor.
• Steven Moffat based his 2007 episode "Blink" upon a 2006 short story, "What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow", originally published in Doctor Who Annual 2006.
• Gareth Roberts reused his concept from a 2006 Doctor Who Magazine comic strip story as the basis for an episode of the same name "The Lodger", which was transmitted as part of Series 5 (2010), featuring Matt Smith.
