* This title was released priced £1.95 (UK).
* Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett were regularly contributors to the three-panel satirical comic strip that ran in the pages of Doctor Who Magazine, Doctor Who?. Though none of the stories in The Doctor Who Fun Book are branded as such, with a few even offering serious narratives in the Doctor Who universe (chiefly The Test of Time), many of the one-pagers and strips in the Fun Book would look right at home alongside most Doctor Who? strips.
* The Doctor Who Fun Book was the first of two titles that were published featuring all-new, black and white material in a bound book form. The second such release (It's Bigger on the Inside!) was published by Marvel Comics in 1988 to mark the show's twenty-fifth anniversary.
