I love what you did with your novelization, The Doctor and K9. And not just NoDS fans should check out that link to your archive because all DS fans are likely to find more than a few surprises if they've never checked the archive out before...
As for the CBS showing of NoDS, count yourself lucky that you didn't see it because worse than how DC was forced to trim the film was what CBS cut from it! (And they made similarly terrible cuts when they ran hoDS!) At this point I forget what all the cuts they made were, but they were ridiculous! I actually have an audio cassette recording of CBS' showing but I no longer have a cassette player, so I'm unable to refresh my memory as to what was cut... (Although, at the time I blamed CBS for trimming a lot of stuff that they didn't actually cut because back in 1977 I had yet to realize that in 1971 I'd actually seen the R-rated version of NoDS - it wasn't until 1990 after NoDS came out on VHS that I realized most other parts of the country had seen a different version.)
