Additional notes

 * Published in 2009, the RRP was £7.99 (UK)
 * Released before the Easter Special Planet of the Dead, this book includes a page on newest companion, Lady Christina de Souza (and as such contained some spoilers for the special).
 * The spelling of the second Doctor's companion Jamie is given as Macrimmon, rather than the alternative McCrimmon.
 * Jackson Lake's companion Rosita is given the surname of Farisi.
 * The book assigns the title Born Again to the 2005 Children in Need Special mini-episode, something disputed in Doctor Who Magazine's review of the book in DWM#409 and not supported by BBC Video in its DVD release of the story.
 * This book omits several characters that are elsewhere referred to as companions, e.g. Sabalom Glitz.
 * On page 92, Dalek Caan is misspelled as "Dalak Caan".
