Shada, written by Douglas Adams, was affected by an industrial dispute which led to the story being unfinished. The six~part adventure was to from the Season 17 finale, though footage from the story would eventually be featured in 1983's The Five Doctors. A novelisation written by Gareth Roberts (Closing Time, The Lodger) will be released next year.
