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.

Famous quotes containing the word print:
“And so on into winter
Till even I have ceased
To come as a foot printer,
And only some slight beast
So mousy or so foxy
Shall print there as my proxy.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“As for the herd of newspapers and magazines, I do not chance to know an editor in the country who will deliberately print anything which he knows will ultimately and permanently reduce the number of his subscribers. They do not believe that it would be expedient. How then can they print truth?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
