+'''''Adventures in a Pocket Universe''''', also known as '''''The Mistress''''', was a series of audio dramas released by [[BBV Productions]] under their "[[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]]" banner. The two audio dramas featured [[John Leeson]] and [[Lalla Ward]] as [[K9 (The Choice)|K9]] and [[The Mistress (The Choice)|his Mistress]].
-These two audio dramas, ''[[The Choice]]'' and ''[[The Search]]'', featured [[John Leeson]] as [[K-9 Mark II|K-9]] and [[Lalla Ward]] as 'The Mistress' (thought heavily implied to be [[Romana II]]). Lalla Ward's character was only ever known or referred to as 'The Mistress' (which was how K-9 originally referred to her) as the character of Romana was governed by the BBC license.
+The first two audio stories in the series, ''[[The Choice (audio story)|The Choice]]'' and ''[[The Search (audio story)|The Search]]'', were intended to form a sequel to ''[[Warriors' Gate (TV story)|Warriors' Gate]]'', in which [[Romana II]] and [[K9 Mark II|K9]] were left in [[E-Space]]. Though BBV Productions was able to secure the original actors for those two roles and the rights to [[K9]] from [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]], they had no rights to the character of Romana or the concept of [[E-Space]], so in the audios, [[K9 (The Choice)|K9]] instead travels with a woman known simply as "[[The Mistress (The Choice)|the Mistress]]" in [[Ecto-Space]].

+[[Zoltán Déry]] also submitted a script for a third episode, ''[[The Liberator (audio story)|The Liberator]]'', to BBV. It was ultimately unproduced, but interested BBV sufficiently for them to commission an unrelated script from Déry which became ''[[The Green Man (audio story)|The Green Man]]''. ([[REF]]: ''[[Downtime – The Lost Years of Doctor Who]]'')
+In [[April (releases)|April]] [[2022 (releases)|2022]], ''The Choice'' was novelised as part of the ''[[Novelisations in Time & Space]]'' range. However, due to the rights agreement for K9 apparently not having covered adaptions in other media, K9 was removed from the plot and the Mistress was instead given a new robotic companion, a female bionic ferret called [[B.E.S.]]. Notably, this release employed the series name ''The Mistress'' instead of ''Adventures in a Pocket Universe''. The original name was returned to the very next month for ''[[B.E.S. Begins (audio story)|B.E.S. Begins]]'', an audio release which related B.E.S.'s first meeting with the Mistress.
