As much as I enjoy Terrance Dick's novelizations of Doctor Who stories he didn't really help tone down the problematic elements in The Talons of Weng-Chiang. On top of that, that wonderful chemistry between Jago and Litefoot in the broadcast story was so much due to the actors, the don't seem to click in the book.
I read a lot of the Target novelisations of Doctor Who when I was a kid and remember them being of very variable quality (including the covers!), even books by the same author weren't reliable. I couldn't compare them with the tv serials at the time though so it's interesting when people do.
