He didn't mention Target, but he did call it a novelisation, and aside from the BBC Books things (which are a possibility, I suppose), a Doctor Who novelisation tends to imply a Target novelisation.

Notably, he's very clearly pastiching the classic Terrance Dicks novelisation writing style in the short-story-or-whatever-it-is; opening on "The mysterious traveller in all of Time and Space known only as…" and spelling TARDIS "Tardis", for example.

@DiSoRiEnTeD1, what you propose is just epistemologically wrong. A thing which was never finished, and an extract from said thing, are two different concepts. You can mention the unfinished whole thing (indeed, all you can do is mention it) while releasing the finished extract from the thing.

Again, an ape skull is not consubstantial with the skeleton it may or may not once have been attached to.
