List of books by Terrance Dicks

Here is a work in progress: what I hope will be a definitive list a list of books written by the prolific Terrance Dicks. The Doctor Who books are well attested; it's working out where everything else fits that is proving a challenge. Hence me scouring the listings in the Bookseller.

Terrance tended to write in series, so here is my own key to those series:

DWs = Doctor Who specials [non-fiction]DWn = Doctor Who novelisations of TV storiesDWo = Doctor Who original novelsBSI = The Baker Street IrregularsOn that basis, here are his published works in order of publication:
