Additional Notes[]
Published in 2009 the RRP was £7.99 (UK)Released before the Easter Special Planet of the Dead, this book includes a page on newest companion, Lady Christina de Souza (and as such contained some spoilers for the special).The spelling of the second Doctor's companion Jamie is given as Macrimmon, rather than the alternative McCrimmon.Jackson Lake's companion Rosita is given the surname of Farisi.The book assigns the title Born Again to the 2005 Children in Need Special mini-episode, something disputed in Doctor Who Magazine's review of the book in DWM#409 and not supported by BBC Video in its DVD release of the story.This book omits several characters that are elsewhere referred to as companions, e.g. Sabalom Glitz.On page 92, Dalek Caan is misspelled as "Dalak Caan".
