In the 1990s, a company called Titan Books obtained permission to publish the scripts of several Doctor Who serials. This was quite good timing as far as I was concerned, because in 1993 I'd tried to get copies of Dr Who scripts myself, but had been advised by the BBC Script Unit that I would have to pay 10p + VAT per page copying charges as well as having to supply the written permission of the copyright holders first.

In all, 9 script books were published and I have a full set here which I have owned from new.

The most interesting of these is "The Masters of Luxor" by Anthony Coburn, an unproduced script rediscovered apparently when the editors were researching the release of "The Tribe of Gum", or "An Unearthly Child" as some prefer to know it.
