Audiobooks of novelisations

In 2005 BBC Audio books released a Limited Edition Tin Doctor Who: Travels in time and space, comprised of readings on CD by William Russell of the first three Doctor Who novelizations, as originally published by Frederick Muller Ltd. with music score and special effects by Simon E Power. After this was deemed a success, BBC Audio began a regular series of releases starting in 2007 featuring complete and unabridged readings of Target Books' television story novelisations.

Read by well known names from the world of Doctor Who, each package came with a booklet that featured thumbnails of the original illustrations from the novelisation, along with cover illustrations (of both UK and international editions) and blurb from the original publication. Accompanying sleeve notes are provided by David J. Howe (author of The Target Book).

The tradition has continued under BBC Audio's successor, AudioGo.
