'''''Audio Adventures in Time & Space''''', originally just '''''Adventures in Time and Space''''', was a {{w|record label}} and umbrella title for several subseries of audios with varying levels of legal and narrative ties to the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]].


It is somewhat unclear when the name originated, or who devised it. Certainly it was coined by the fan group, [[Audio Visuals]], in the mid-1980s. It did not appear on AV covers until the second, 1986 season — though re-issues of the first, 1984 season bore the label retroactively. As the original AV [[producer]], [[Bill Baggs]] was certainly in a position to have conceived the name, but it's uncertain that he did. In any case, Baggs began using the title in the late 1990s as the main label for his [[BBV Productions]] audio plays. Indeed, several BBV releases were based on old AV plays, and there was a great deal of staff crossover between the two groups. When Baggs co-opted the name, he added the word "Audio" before "Adventures in Time and Space" for clarity, since he had a thriving line of videos at the time.

{{main|Audio Visuals (fan work)}}
The name ''Adventures in Time and Space'' was originally used for the [[Audio Visuals (fan work)|Audio Visuals]] fan audios in the mid-1980s. It first appeared on AV covers in the second season in 1986, although later re-issues of the first season also used the label.


== BBV usage ==
=== 1990s and 2000s ===
=== Overview ===
When the [[producer]] of the Audio Visuals, [[Bill Baggs]], began releasing audio plays from [[BBV Productions]] in [[1998 (releases)|1998]], he reused the title, calling them ''Audio Adventures in Time & Space'' to distinguish them from BBV's video productions. Over the following years, BBV released four "seasons" of ''Audio Adventures''.
''Audio Adventures in Time & Space'' was a label used by BBV from 1998 to 2004. It referred to four "seasons" of audio output that featured a wide variety of characters, and indeed was comprised of several different series. Things like ''The Time Travellers'', ''The Stranger'', ''Zygons'', ''Sontarans'', ''[[Adventures in a Pocket Universe]]'' and others were all released under the label. The fourth season used a radically re-designed cover template which removed the "Audio Adventures in Time & Space" label from the front cover.


Although the overwhelming majority of BBV audio titles were released under this label, not all of them were. Notably the [[Tom Baker]] autobiography, ''The Boy Who Kicked Pigs'', and the [[Richard Franklin]] story, ''The Killing Stone'', were firmly not released under this label.
Whereas the [[Audio Visuals (fan work)|Audio Visuals]] ''Adventures in Time and Space'' had all featured [[Fred|the Doctor]] in an unlicensed, non-commercial fashion, as a commercial entity BBV had to sell legal products. As a result, rather than featuring a single ongoing story like the Audio Visuals ''Adventures'', BBV's ''Audio Adventures'' comprised a number of separate ongoing series.


=== Content ===
Initially, they created approximations of characters from televised ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and hired the same actors to play them. For instance, ''[[The Stranger (series)|The Stranger]]'' featured [[Colin Baker]] and [[Nicola Bryant]] as "the Stranger" and "Miss Brown", similar to their ''Doctor Who'' roles of the [[Sixth Doctor]] and his companion [[Peri Brown]]. Similarly, [[Sylvester McCoy]] and [[Sophie Aldred]] played [[the Professor (Republica)|the Professor]] and [[Ace (Republica)|Ace]] in ''[[The Time Travellers (series)|The Time Travellers]]'', and [[Lalla Ward]] played [[the Mistress (The Choice)|the Mistress]] in ''[[Adventures in a Pocket Universe (series)|Adventures in a Pocket Universe]]''.
BBV used the label differently than AV. Whereas the AV ''Adventures in Time and Space'' had all illegally featured [[the Doctor]], BBV didn't have that luxury. As a commercial entity, they had to find some way of delivering a legal product for sale. They took two approaches to solve this problem.


First, they created ''approximations'' of characters from televised ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and hired the same actors to play them. ''[[Adventures in a Pocket Universe]]'' and so on. Thus a "season" could contain a highly eclectic variety of stories. These stories, by necessity, did not take place in the [[DWU|''Doctor Who'' universe]] — not even with the most generous view of what constitutes the DWU. [[Colin Baker]] was ''not'' playing the [[Sixth Doctor]] in ''The Stranger''. Indeed, between the first and second season, the [[British Broadcasting Corporation]] had a stern word with BBV when they felt that the McCoy/[[Sophie Aldred]] output was getting too close to the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]]. From the second season forward, therefore, all the McCoy/Aldred releases were relabelled ''The Time Travellers'' and their characters were decidedly distanced from their season 1 personas.
Some of these otherwise-unlicensed stories retained legal links to licensed non-television ''Doctor Who'' stories, such as [[Fred|the mysterious time traveller]] in the [[1991 (releases)|1991]] [[Doctor Who Magazine]] comic story ''[[Party Animals (comic story)|Party Animals]]'' who later appeared in BBV's ''[[The Wanderer (series)|The Wanderer]]'', and the [[alternate timeline (Republica)|alternate timeline]] seen in the [[1997 (releases)|1997]] [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures]] novel ''[[The Roundheads (novel)|The Roundheads]]'' and visited in the debut ''Time Travellers'' audio, ''[[Republica (audio story)|Republica]]''. ''[[Guests for the Night (audio story)|Guests for the Night]]'' also featured mentions of [[Posedor]] and [[Truman Crouch]], elements of the fan ''Audio Visuals'' which had since gotten properly commercial debuts in the DWU in the [[Virgin New Adventures|Virgin ''New Adventures'']] novel ''[[Deadfall (novel)|Deadfall]]''.


Second, they tried to get the permission of one of the original ''Doctor Who'' writers to use the species or characters that the writer owned. Most of these stories could then be marketed as taking place within the DWU. The cover to ''[[The Choice (audio story)|The Choice]]'', for instance, quite legally claims that it is the "return of [[K9]]", since permission was obtained from [[Dave Martin]] and [[Bob Baker]].
Eventually, BBV began seeking legal links to television ''Doctor Who'' stories as well. Through individual agreements with television writers, they obtained permission to use the species or characters that those writers had created and still owned. Most of these stories could then be marketed as taking place within the DWU. For instance, the cover to ''[[The Choice (audio story)|The Choice]]'', which was created with permission from [[Dave Martin]] and [[Bob Baker]], advertised the "return of [[K9]]". By the third and fourth series from [[2000 (releases)|2000]] to [[2004 (releases)|2004]], the ''Audio Adventures'' line focused more and more on these licensed characters, including [[K9 (The Choice)|K9]], [[Zygon]]s, [[Krynoid]]s, and [[Sontaran]]s, as well as licensed concepts from [[Faction Paradox]].


It is only the second type of story that this wiki makes an attempt to cover.
Although only some stories had the legal link to "prove" their connection to ''Doctor Who'', the entire ''Audio Adventures'' series was intended to be set within the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]], with all audios advertised as "from the Worlds of ''Doctor Who''". By the fourth season, which focused mainly on ''[[The Faction Paradox Protocols]]'', the cover template was radically re-designed and the "Audio Adventures in Time & Space" label was removed.
 
=== 2020s ===
Although the overwhelming majority of BBV audio titles were released under this label, some were excluded on their initial release. These were the [[Tom Baker]] novel ''The Boy Who Kicked Pigs'' and the [[Richard Franklin]] story ''The Killing Stone''. However, in the series' [[2021 (releases)|2021]] online relaunch, ''The Boy Who Kicked Pigs'' was rebranded as one of the ''Audio Adventures''.
 
On [[8 May (releases)|8 May]], BBV announced the start of a fifth series of ''Audio Adventures in Time & Space'', launching with a reading of ''[[The Door We Forgot (short story)|The Door We Forgot]]'' by [[Bill Baggs]], distinct from the previously-released [[Arcbeatle Press]] audiobook of the story.<ref>[https://twitter.com/bbv_productions/status/1390918279259172865 BBV Productions on Twitter]</ref>
 
A [[Audio Adventures in Time & Space Collection]] collection was promoted in 2022, collecting audios and DVDs together to be purchased.

Audio Adventures in Time & Space, originally just Adventures in Time and Space, was a record label and umbrella title for several subseries of audios with varying levels of legal and narrative ties to the Doctor Who universe.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

1980s[[edit] | [edit source]]

Main article: Audio Visuals (fan work)

The name Adventures in Time and Space was originally used for the Audio Visuals fan audios in the mid-1980s. It first appeared on AV covers in the second season in 1986, although later re-issues of the first season also used the label.

1990s and 2000s[[edit] | [edit source]]

When the producer of the Audio Visuals, Bill Baggs, began releasing audio plays from BBV Productions in 1998, he reused the title, calling them Audio Adventures in Time & Space to distinguish them from BBV's video productions. Over the following years, BBV released four "seasons" of Audio Adventures.

Whereas the Audio Visuals Adventures in Time and Space had all featured the Doctor in an unlicensed, non-commercial fashion, as a commercial entity BBV had to sell legal products. As a result, rather than featuring a single ongoing story like the Audio Visuals Adventures, BBV's Audio Adventures comprised a number of separate ongoing series.

Initially, they created approximations of characters from televised Doctor Who and hired the same actors to play them. For instance, The Stranger featured Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant as "the Stranger" and "Miss Brown", similar to their Doctor Who roles of the Sixth Doctor and his companion Peri Brown. Similarly, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred played the Professor and Ace in The Time Travellers, and Lalla Ward played the Mistress in Adventures in a Pocket Universe.

Some of these otherwise-unlicensed stories retained legal links to licensed non-television Doctor Who stories, such as the mysterious time traveller in the 1991 Doctor Who Magazine comic story Party Animals who later appeared in BBV's The Wanderer, and the alternate timeline seen in the 1997 BBC Past Doctor Adventures novel The Roundheads and visited in the debut Time Travellers audio, Republica. Guests for the Night also featured mentions of Posedor and Truman Crouch, elements of the fan Audio Visuals which had since gotten properly commercial debuts in the DWU in the Virgin New Adventures novel Deadfall.

Eventually, BBV began seeking legal links to television Doctor Who stories as well. Through individual agreements with television writers, they obtained permission to use the species or characters that those writers had created and still owned. Most of these stories could then be marketed as taking place within the DWU. For instance, the cover to The Choice, which was created with permission from Dave Martin and Bob Baker, advertised the "return of K9". By the third and fourth series from 2000 to 2004, the Audio Adventures line focused more and more on these licensed characters, including K9, Zygons, Krynoids, and Sontarans, as well as licensed concepts from Faction Paradox.

Although only some stories had the legal link to "prove" their connection to Doctor Who, the entire Audio Adventures series was intended to be set within the Doctor Who universe, with all audios advertised as "from the Worlds of Doctor Who". By the fourth season, which focused mainly on The Faction Paradox Protocols, the cover template was radically re-designed and the "Audio Adventures in Time & Space" label was removed.

2020s[[edit] | [edit source]]

Although the overwhelming majority of BBV audio titles were released under this label, some were excluded on their initial release. These were the Tom Baker novel The Boy Who Kicked Pigs and the Richard Franklin story The Killing Stone. However, in the series' 2021 online relaunch, The Boy Who Kicked Pigs was rebranded as one of the Audio Adventures.

On 8 May, BBV announced the start of a fifth series of Audio Adventures in Time & Space, launching with a reading of The Door We Forgot by Bill Baggs, distinct from the previously-released Arcbeatle Press audiobook of the story.[1]

A Audio Adventures in Time & Space Collection collection was promoted in 2022, collecting audios and DVDs together to be purchased.
