It didn't adapt the book, it is the other way around. Virgin clearly liked the video enough to turn it into a book for the Missing Adventures range.<br /><br />The licensing around Doctor Who in the wilderness years was very good for the show. All sorts of elements were owned by their original writers, so didn't need BBC approval (just the approval of the original author) for reuse by fans. <br /><br />It's a good thing too, as it enabled people to prove themselves and get licenses. A lot of the early Big Finish people were involved in fan productions before they got the license.

The casting is still good though, Jemma Redgrave looks a lot like her (which I why I went to double check on IMDB when this was first broadcast).David Dorwardhttp://thecoreworlds.net/blog/noreply@blogger.com
