Prose stories first appeared in the inside covers of the first issue of Doctor Who Magazine, then known as Doctor Who Weekly, starting the Fourth Doctor. They continued in 1989-1980, 1986-1995, and then sporadically until the final story in 2005. A continuation of the first story, now staring the Twelfth Doctor, would appear to celebrate the magazine's 500th issue in 2016.
