Elements of the story were reused by Adams for his novel ''[[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency]]'', in particular the character of Professor Chronotis who possesses a time machine. Adams did not allow ''Shada'', or any of his other ''Doctor Who'' stories, to be novelised by [[Target Books]]. It is, therefore, one of only five serials from the 1963–1989 series not to be novelised by Target – along with Adams' other stories ''[[The Pirate Planet]]'' and ''[[City of Death]]'', plus [[Eric Saward]]'s two [[Dalek]] stories (''[[Resurrection of the Daleks]]'' and ''[[Revelation of the Daleks]]'').

A six-part adaptation of the story by Jonathan V. Way appeared in issues 13–18 of ''Cosmic Masque'', the [[Doctor Who Appreciation Society]]'s fiction magazine. Adams granted permission for the adaptation on condition that it was never published in collected form.<ref name="Foster" />

[[BBC Books]] published a novelisation of this serial on 15 March 2012, written by [[Gareth Roberts (writer)|Gareth Roberts]]. Roberts drew on the latest versions of the scripts available, as well as adding new material of his own to "fix" what he viewed as various plotholes and unanswered questions.<ref name="Berriman" /> [[Nicholas Pegg]], in his review of the book for ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', heartily praised it, calling it a "successful duet".<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Pegg|first=Nicholas|date=4 April 2012|title=The DWM Review: Shada|magazine=[[Doctor Who Magazine]]|publisher=[[Panini Comics]]|location=Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent|issue=445|pages=72–73}}</ref>
