As a long time Dr. Who fan I am glad to see this newsgroup created and
will try to contribute on a regular basis.  I do not claim to be an
'expert' but do have a few references that I can consult when I get
in a bind.
 
In regard to Dr. Who books.  There are at least two different publishers
putting out Dr. Who books.  The official publisher is TARGET books in
England but they are hard to find at your local books store.  You have
to go to a store that specializes in Dr. Who stuff such as "The New
Fantasy Shop" in Chicago.  There is an American publishing company,
PINNICLE, that has about 10 or 12 stories in paperback.  These can be
found at your larger book stores (at least around the Chicago area).
I have a few of these and they seem to be well written and they have the
introduction by Ellison.  I also have the book 'The Making of Dr. Who'
that has a lot of useful information as well as a synopsis of the shows
up to about 1977.
 
In regard to a chronological listing of the shows, I have a copy on line
that I can mail to anyone that wants it.  It was on the net about a year
or so ago with a recent updating of the past years shows.
 
I also have a listing of sources of Dr. Who stuff that I put on the
net about a year ago.  It still is good as far as I know.  The New
Fantasy Shop is the only place I can personally vouch for, but they
are a good source.
 
Hope this helps and please keep this newsgroup active!
 
Going wherever time leads me...
