Did the PDAs really start with The Eight Doctors? Devil Goblins from Neptune was published the same month. I generally consider The Eight Doctors to be the first EDA (although I can see how an argument could be made for it belonging in both ranges). Just not sure whether it needs to be in this article, or if it complicates things (a newbie might think the article self-contradictory, since the text suggests 8Docs was the first, and the table says DGfN). — Josiah Rowe 21:27, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
The latest DWM says that Atom Bomb Blues is the last PDA on the schedule for the time being, and adds that "the future of the [past Doctor] book series [is] distinctly uncertain". We should probably note this on the page — but does anyone know any more than that? Are the PDAs being cancelled for low sales, or so that the BBC can focus its branding on new series novels? (I suppose I could check the OG Forum, but if I do that's at least three hours of my day gone. :) ) — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 00:27, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
The PDAs aren't cancelled. At present no more have been announced and the BBC is considering whether to produce any more. Anyone who tells you any more than that is wrong: no decision has been made yet.

Following Bondegezou's lead, I've removed unnecessary disambiguations from several more novel names. My rule of thumb was that if the first two screens in a Google search brought up only the Doctor Who novels, then there probably aren't any other subjects with a better claim to the page. (For example, it turns out that there's a short story by Ben Bova called Amorality Tale, so I kept the disambiguation on that one.) — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 16:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
I've started adding the cover blurbs of the books that I have got. I've done Verdigris, Millennium Shock and The Time Travellers, and will do Divided Loyalties, The Hollow Men and World Game -- Jawr256 17:21, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
....That seems to be the most frequently seen number for me as I have been looking up the page number and other the details upon Amazon. This is not the actual case, is it? DrWho42 18:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
I just updated all the page counts based on the actual physical books. Unfortunately, starting with Verdigris, BBC started adding About the Author sections, sometimes with page numbers and sometimes without, sometimes written by the author and sometimes not, sometimes before the author acknowledgements and sometimes after (the acknowledgements themselves sometimes with page numbers and sometimes without). For consistency, I put the last numbered page, to avoid any appearance of original research. For 19 books, there were subsequent unnumbered pages (usually About the Author). For 24 books, something like About the Author ended up included in the page count. NoJoy ( talk) 04:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm wondering if including the covers (shrunk down, of course) to the 'List of Past Doctor Adventures' would be a good idea. Something akin to what lists of episodes generally do, i.e. List of Futurama episodes, although I'm s'posing that one might as well include a brief synopsis therein. DrWho42 03:51, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
What is the justification for including the 2012 releases on this page? Amazon lists the publisher of Shada to be Ace Hardcover, rather than BBC Books. The various series of books featuring past Doctors each have their own page (e.g. Virgin Missing Adventures, Past Doctor Adventures). Sounds like we need an official reference giving the name of this new series, and a corresponding page. NoJoy ( talk) 02:12, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to merge /info/en/?search=Drift_(novel)?venotify=saved with this article. I don't think it meets book notability guidelines. Thoughts? Daveman115 ( talk) 19:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
