Steven Moffat writes introduction for Doctor Who Target novels

Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, amongst others, have written introductions for the republished Doctor Who Target novelisations.

The book range was originally published in the 1970s, and are novelisations of original Doctor Who TV stories.

A poll on the official Doctor Who Facebook page decided that The Tenth Planet, The Ice Warriors, The Day of the Daleks, The Three Doctors, The Ark in Space and The Loch Ness Monster will be re-released later this month.

In his introduction to Ark in Space, Moffat says: "Doctor Who covers were masterpieces. Frequently, the most thrilling visualisation of a Doctor Who story wouldn't be on the telly, it would be on the front cover of the book that came after. How I'd stare at those covers."

The other contributors who have written introductions are Tom MacRae, Gary Russell, Alastair Reynolds and Michael Moorcock.

The six books will be published on Thursday 10th May 2012.
