DOCTOR WHO STORY GUIDE

This guide contains information in the following form:
Story Production Code (SPC): Each story had a unique code associated with it
that was used for filing purposes.
Title: Stories `A' through `Z' had individual titles for each episode, but in
the interest of organization and for saving space, only the collective title is given. After each title, the number of episodes is given in parentheses, and if a Target Books novelisation exists, that fact is noted by the presence of an asterisk or a caret if the book's title is radically different from from that of the episode. (The book's title is given in the notes section.)
Writer: This column lists the author(s) of each episode. Archives: This column lists all episodes that are held by the B.B.C. archives,
in black & white and colour. The symbol "a-<n>" means that all episodes except those listed exist in the B.B.C. archives.
Notes: This column records any changes in the Doctor's companions, and mentions
any other interesting information.
In addition, the season headings show the beginning and ending dates of the
original broadcast of the season, and the Producer(s) and Script Editor(s) for that season.
