* AuthorsSavingThrow: Some of the books fixed problems in the televised stories:
** Many (including Creator/PaulCornell) feel that the Master's HeelFaceTurn is handled much better in the novelisation of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E1TerrorOfTheAutons Terror of the Autons]]" than in the televised version. Instead of siding with the Doctor because he has suddenly realised after working with them for months that the Nestenes might turn on him, the Brigadier pulls a gun on him and forces him to comply.
** The novelisation of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E4TheAndroidInvasion The Android Invasion]]" is regarded as being superior to the televised story, largely because Creator/TerranceDicks filled in some of the PlotHoles.
** The novelisations of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E5TheHornsOfNimon The Horns of Nimon]]" and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E1WarriorsOfTheDeep Warriors of the Deep]]" benefit from Creator/TerranceDicks adding a bit of worldbuilding (the former showing how Soldeed met the Nimon and the latter telling us more about the future of 2084 and giving more character motivation).
** The novelisation of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E7TheTwinDilemma The Twin Dilemma]]" is another regarded as being better than the televised version. It wasn't written under horrendous time pressure, is free from the handicaps of poor acting and special effects, and the bits that can't be fixed are made fun of.
** The ludicrous LiteralCliffhanger in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E4Dragonfire Dragonfire]]" is given an explanation.
** The First Doctor's out-of-character behaviour in "[[Recap/DoctorWho2017CSTwiceUponATime Twice Upon a Time]]" is explained as him trying to antagonise the Twelfth Doctor, whom he dislikes.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Played with in the novelisation of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E6Shada Shada]]", as it was written in 2012, and exaggerated a bit to help us relate to the alien main characters who find the 1970s laughably primitive. For instance, there's a scene where Skagra finds it proof of human inferiority that they still consider [[ShoutOut digital watches]] and VCR to be the cutting edge of technology, which would have been played for a fairly straight laugh by Douglas Adams but is played in the book as being just as dated and contemptible as the aliens find it to be. Mocked also in the book's description of K-9, as seen through Chris's eyes. He remarks on the letters on its side being 'clearly intended to look futuristic' and seems to find its aesthetic very dated.

* FridgeBrilliance: The novelisation of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E5BlackOrchid Black Orchid]]" has a scene where Tegan explains the rules of cricket to Adric and Nyssa. Not because she's from Earth, but because she's from Australia, a country that loves the sport almost as much as England.
