“We stick to the same guidelines as the television series"

TV Just in case you missed it, here's a link to the excellent article from The Times last week [paywall] about Doctor Who novels and the publishing thereof. There are some amazingly business sensitive details, such as how much the novelists are paid and more of exactly the kind of information you wished would turn up in an average Doctor Who Magazine interview:

"In one of this year’s stories, Revenge of the Judoon, the Doctor originally fought to save Balmoral and Edward VII with the help of Winston Churchill. Unfortunately the TV people liked the idea, and thought they might keep Winston in reserve for a future episode. So the author, Terrance Dicks, had to make do with a cameo from Arthur Conan Doyle instead."
