Note:  Same ISBN as first edition. Strangely, this later edition omits character details of the Sixth Doctor which were present in the first edition — presumably due to either a copyright dispute with the BBC or use-of-likeness issue with Colin Baker himself. (Which would also explain why none of the published RPG modules feature the Sixth Doctor.)

Cover blurb:
Same as 1st edition.
