-* [[12 January (releases)|12 January]] - ''[[Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]'' Part One debuted on BBC1. The episode bore the on-screen title ''Invasion'' (also sometimes referred to as ''Invasion'' Part One) to preserve the cliffhanger of the first episode. This was the first time since the final episode of ''[[The Gunfighters]]'' aired in [[May (releases)|May]] [[1966]] that an episode carried a title different than that of the complete storyline.
+* [[12 January (releases)|12 January]] - ''[[Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)|Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]'' Part One debuted on BBC1.
-* [[17 January (releases)|17 January]] - [[Target Books]] followed its successful [[1973]] reprintings of novelisations from the [[1960s]] with the publications of its first newly commissioned adaptations, ''[[Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion]]'' by [[Terrance Dicks]], based upon the [[Third Doctor]] serial ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'', and ''[[Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters]]'' by [[Malcolm Hulke]], adapting ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians]]''. ''Auton Invasion'' was the first of many ''Doctor Who'' novels written by Dicks over the next thirty-plus years and Target continued to novelise ''Doctor Who'' adventures for the next twenty years. The practice of giving novelisations titles differing from the broadcast versions continued off-and-on into the [[1980s]], though it occurred less frequently from the late [[1970s]].
