Note:

The cover blurb's promise that this would be the "last ever Doctor Who fiction of Lawrence Miles" proved premature — he subsequently wrote The Adventuress of Henrietta Street which was published a mere 18 months later.

Three of the stories are credited to pseudonyms: "Tara Samms" is a well-known pseudonym of Stephen Cole which he used for previous Short Trips anthologies (plus the novella Frayed), while the other two were nods to pseudonyms used by scriptwriters on the classic Doctor Who series — "Norman Ashby" was an alias used by Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln on The Dominators while "David Agnew" was used twice: by Graham Williams and Anthony Read for The Invasion of Time and by Douglas Adams and David Fisher for City of Death. Presumably the users of these pseudonyms in this book were Stephen Cole and/or Jacqueline Rayner (the book's editors) though that's not confirmed.

Cover blurb:

How many lives has the Doctor had? Perhaps more than you think...

Follow the Doctor and his companions as they take short trips around the universe — perhaps to a Wild West overrun with dinosaurs, to a land where robot rabbits roam, or a planet where the Doctor must marry or die — and then step sideways into other universes — worlds full of song and dance; planets made entirely of sweets; lands of movie monsters; places where the Doctor as we know him may never have existed at all...
