They were not licensed by the [[BBC]] but by the [[Mervyn Haisman|Haisman]] [[Haisman Literary Estate|Literary Estate]], the copyright holders for the character. They included various elements of other ''Doctor Who'' stories, by agreement/license of the original authors, such as [[Terrance Dicks]], who wrote ''[[Horror of Fang Rock (TV story)|Horror of Fang Rock]]'', and [[Gary Russell]], who created [[The Vault (The Scales of Injustice)|the Vault]] in ''[[The Scales of Injustice (novel)|The Scales of Injustice]]''. | ||
The series built up a new team around Lethbridge-Stewart and Anne Travers, including [[William Bishop]], [[Samson Ware]], and [[Walter Douglas]]. It also featured recurring characters, both [[Harold Chorley]] and [[Gwynfor Evans|Private Evans]] come from ''The Web of Fear'', while new characters were added to the roster; of note are [[Sally Wright]], Lethbridge-Stewart's fiancee, [[Owain Vine]], Lethbridge-Stewart's nephew, and [[Oliver Hamilton]]. | The series built up a new team around [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Lethbridge-Stewart]] and [[Anne Travers]], including [[William Bishop]], [[Samson Ware]], and [[Walter Douglas]].

The series particularly delved deeper into the history and character of Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, creating a whole family for him not previously seen on television. Family members included; [[Mary Gore]], his mother, [[James Lethbridge-Stewart]], his older brother who died in 1938, and [[Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]], his father, a commander in the RAF who was declared Missing In Action at the end of World War II. It also debuted his children and grandchildren with [[Doris Lethbridge-Stewart]], the Wilsons (son, [[Albert Wilson|Albert]], daughter-in-law [[Tamara Wilson|Tamara]], and grandchildren [[Conall Lethbridge-Stewart|Conall]], [[Nick Wilson|Nick]] and [[Lucy Wilson|Lucy]]). Lucy would later head her own [[The Lucy Wilson Mysteries|series of spin-off novels]], with guest appearances from various members of her family. | The series particularly delved deeper into the history and character of Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, creating a whole family for him not previously seen on television.

Along the way the series also delved into the Brigadier's ancestors and extended family, including cousins, uncle, and grandparents.

The series also developed an extended family for Anne Travers and her father, Professor Travers. These included; [[Alun Travers]], Anne's brother. [[Lyndon Travers]], Anne's grandfather and Professor Travers' father. [[Margaret Travers]], Anne's mother and Traver's wife, and Travers' twin, Vincent and his children. [[Ben Travers]], from ''Horror of Fang Rock'', was revealed to be the uncle of Professor Travers. | The series also developed an extended family for Anne Travers and her father, [[Professor Travers]].

In addition to the novels, which initially followed an ongoing narrative, the short stories occasionally dipped into different periods of Lethbridge-Stewart's past and future. For instance, ''[[Ashes of the Inferno (short story)|Ashes of the Inferno]]'' was set directly after the TV story, ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]'', and ''[[The Lock-In (short story)|The Lock-In]]'' was set around the time of his death, with ''[[Of the Future (short story)|Of the Future]]'' exploring the divide between the Brigadier and his daughter, Kate, and the birth of his grandson, Gordy. ''[[The Enfolded Time (short story)|The Enfolded Time]]'' brought focus on the [[UNIT dating controversy]] and could be said to finally solve the longstanding dating issues once and for all, though the regularity with which spin-off media attempts to "fix" the controversy makes it one of many. | In addition to the novels, which initially followed an ongoing narrative, the short stories occasionally dipped into different periods of Lethbridge-Stewart's past and future.
