Dr Who ' s Space Adventure Book Dr Who ' s Space Adventure Book was a 1967 magazine published as a part of the " Doctor Who " / Dalek licensing agreement enjoyed by Wall ' s Ice Cream . It was somewhat like a " mini - annual " , in that it was comprised of some games , some diagrams and a story . The nine - page story , " Daleks Invade Zaos " , dominated the volume . The book was specifically tied into the then - new Wall ' s Sky Ray ice lollies — torpedo - shaped , raspberry - and - orange - flavoured , frozen confections on a stick . Television and print advertising stressed the importance of collecting cards included with each Sky Ray . These cards could then be used to help illustrate " Daleks Invade Zaos " , or to play a primitive card game called Space Raiders Battle Game . Contents . Non - card - related content . The book began by attempting to explain the relationship between the Doctor — who appeared to be the then - current Second Doctor — and a group of Dalek fighters known as the " Sky Ray Space Raiders " . Since these apparent human s used the Sky Ray Space Raider , a sleek " deep space " craft to travel about space and fight Dalek s , the book then devoted several pages to diagramming and detailing the performance of that space craft . Naturally , the Sky Ray Space Raider bore a strong resemblance to the Sky Ray ice lolly itself . Next up were a few colouring pages , one giving a view of the interior of the TARDIS , while others looked at the exterior and interior of Daleks . These activity pages were followed by a single page feature called " Dr . Who ' s Mind Mesmeriser " . This was an optical trick that confused the eye depending on how the page was moved . Card - related content . Most of the rest of the book was devoted to two sections involving cards collected by purchasing Sky Ray Ice Lollies . Space Raiders Battle Game . Space Raiders Battle Game was essentially a variant of . A double - page spread within the book was devoted to providing a course for contestants to follow . Depending on the squares on which they landed , players would be instructed to draw a card from one of two piles of cards . The number on that card then forced additional play , depending on the specific instructions in the rules . The first contestant to the end of the course was declared the winner . Instructional annotation revealed that there were 36 total cards which could be found in Sky Ray ice lolly packaging . " Daleks Invade Zaos " . A full nine pages was devoted to the prose story " Daleks Invade Zaos " . In the story , the Second Doctor helped the Sky Ray Space Raiders defend Zaos and Earth . Each of the nine pages had a space for four specific cards , which illustrated the story as it progressed . However , the cards didn ' t reveal any additional narrative content . Notes . Each book cost 1 shilling — or 1 / 20th of a pound — in . Each Sky Ray cost 6 old pence , or half a shilling . There were 36 unique cards associated with this book . So , if you got extremely lucky and got a different card in each Sky Ray you bought , it would ' ve cost you a minimum of 19 shillings — or very nearly a whole , old pound — to complete the book and card collection .
