Beyond the Vortex was a series of audio documentaries broadcast on BBC7. They followed the BBC Radio broadcast of the first and second series of The Eighth Doctor Adventures. The behind-the-scenes programme was essentially the audio equivalent of Doctor Who Confidential, the show which accompanied BBC Wales televised episodes.
A standard episode of the Eighth Doctor Adventures did not completely fill an hour-long programming block. Beyond the Vortex thus filled in the remaining few minutes of the hour. Because the related stories did not have a standard run time and the impetus for Vortex was to offer a complete hour to BBC7, Vortex ran between five and ten minutes. Each episode of the first series was accompanied by its own episode of Vortex, but BBC7 only broadcast six episodes of the second series, between 19 October and 23 November 2008. Sisters of the Flame and The Vengeance of Morbius were not broadcast by the BBC, so no Vortex was made for those episodes.
As a production of the BBC, rather than of Big Finish, Vortex did not appear on CD releases of the stories from the New Eighth Doctor Adventures range. However, the Big Finish-made behind-the-scenes interviews that appeared on the CD releases covered much of the same material, and were longer.
The series was produced by Martin Montague, who had commissioned the Eighth Doctor Adventures for BBC7.
