General Notes
- The Italian Space: 1999 novelisations are actually large format hardbacks which also contained a number of photographs, similar in format to the popular "storybooks" that have been published to tie in with movies and television series over the years like the various Star Wars movies, Max Headroom and the Battlestar Galactica pilot.
- In the UK Matter of Life and Death was novelised in EC Tubb's Breakaway, while Force of Life was novelised in The Space Guardians by Brian Ball.
Earthbound remained un-novelised in the UK until 2003 when Fanderson, the Gerry Anderson fan club, published Earthbound which also contained novelisation of two episodes as they would have been if the series hadn't received a radical overhaul for its second season.
