The Discontinuity Guide to the Doctor Who Novels
Continuity, for them, was impossible.
- The last mind in From Eternity (Short Trips: Monsters)
In 1995, Paul Cornell, Martin Day, and Keith Topping published The Discontinuity Guide, a guide to all sorts of things about the TV series Doctor Who. Following this, an excellent website called The DiscContinuity Guide has provided the same kind of information about the continuing audio adventures based on the series. But nobody has done this for the continuing series' of novels. Until now...
There have been a couple of distinct series of official Doctor Who short story collections. The first was Virgin Books' Decalog series, which have three volumes by the time the BBC took back the license. They then produced two more Decalogs. Decalog 4 featured the family history of Roz Forrester, the Doctor's companion in the New Adventures, and Decalog 5 had one story featuring Benny, another companion from the New Adventures and nine generic sci-fi stories with no Who connection. After taking back the license. the BBC produced three Short Trips collections. More recently, Big Finish have taken up the Short Trips title. There have also been several charity anthologies produced. However, I am not currently intending to feature any of these in the guide.
