'''''Republica''''' was the first audio in [[BBV Productions]]' ''[[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]]'' anthology series and the first of the subseries ''[[The Time Travellers (series)|The Time Travellers]]''. It was written by [[Mark Gatiss]], adapted from his cancelled [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures|BBC ''Past Doctor Adventures'' novel]] ''[[Cromwell's Dust (novel)|Cromwell's Dust]]'', and set in [[Alternate timeline (Republica)|an alternate timeline]] which Gatiss had seeded in his other ''Past Doctor Adventure'', ''[[The Roundheads (novel)|The Roundheads]]'', tying ''Republica'' to the licensed DWU. | '''''Republica''''' was the first audio in [[BBV Productions]]' ''[[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]]'' anthology series and the first of the subseries ''[[The Time Travellers (series)|The Time Travellers]]''.

Unable to use the actual character of [[the Doctor]] or any of his [[companion]]s, the story introduced extremely close analogues to the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]]: "[[the Professor (Republica)|the Professor]] and [[Ace (Republica)|Ace]]", whose [[Cosmos|space-time machine]] was never featured directly. Worries that they were still too close to their BBC counterparts would result in later installments in ''The Time Travellers'' giving the Professor's true name as [[the Dominie]] and Ace's as [[Alice]]. | Unable to use the actual character of [[the Doctor]] or any of his [[companion]]s, the story introduced extremely close analogues to the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]]: "[[the Professor (Republica)|the Professor]] and [[Ace (Republica)|Ace]]", whose [[Cosmos|space-time machine]] was never featured directly.

* [[Mark Gatiss]] had pitched three [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures|BBC ''Past Doctor Adventures'']] when in need of quick cash, including ''[[The Roundheads (novel)|The Roundheads]]'' and ''[[Cromwell's Dust (novel)|Cromwell's Dust]]'', hence ''The Roundheads'' also introducing the setting of ''Cromwell's Dust'' in passing. After only ''The Roundheads'' was produced, he kept the other two pitches in reserve, and ultimately adapted them into two BBV stories, with ''Cromwell's Dust'' becoming ''Republica''.<ref>''Downtime: The Lost Years of Doctor Who'' Chapter 17 (Dylan Rees)</ref> | * [[Mark Gatiss]] had pitched three [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures|BBC ''Past Doctor Adventures'']] when in need of quick cash, including ''[[The Roundheads (novel)|The Roundheads]]'' and ''[[Cromwell's Dust (unproduced novel)|Cromwell's Dust]]'', hence ''The Roundheads'' also introducing the setting of ''Cromwell's Dust'' in passing.
