I think it should be noted that Dicks was criticised for his "drive by novelisations" which in many cases were little more than embellished transcriptions of the scripts and often didn't even meet Target's 128-page quota. I remember criticism being quite high in the early 80s when it seemed every novelisation was by him. However, for me to outright say this in the article would come off as POV. Does anyone know of a review site or other source that can be cited? To be fair, of course, Dicks was not the only writer who was so criticised (thinking Philip Hinchcliffe). 23skidoo 16:50, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I've pared down the Doctor Who list a little bit because it had unnecessary duplication by including things like the 2-in-1 reissues and the "Adventures of ..." and "Further Adventures of...". That said I'll add a line indicating that his works were republished. I am curious where publishing dates for the "Adventures" reprints came from -- how could they have been published in 1968-69 when the books cointained therein weren't written for another decade and Tom Baker was shown on the cover? 23skidoo 16:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
