The '''BBC Past Doctor Adventures''' was a series of paperback novel releases by [[BBC Books]], launched in [[1997 (releases)|1997]] in conjunction with its [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures|Eighth Doctor Adventures]] line. The line featured new adventures of the first seven Doctors, with the exception of two releases: ''[[The Face of the Enemy (novel)|The Face of the Enemy]]'', featuring [[the Master]]; and one of the last novels, ''[[Fear Itself (novel)|Fear Itself]]'', which was the only PDA with the [[Eighth Doctor]] in a lead role, following the [[Ninth Doctor]]'s debut on television.


One of the last novels, ''[[Fear Itself]]'', was the only PDA featuring the [[Eighth Doctor]], acknowledging the coming of the [[Ninth Doctor]] on television.
The Past Doctor Adventures novels were released on a regular schedule by BBC Books: monthly from the range's launch in [[June (releases)|June]] 1997 until [[August (releases)|August]] [[2002 (releases)|2002]], and bimonthly from [[September (releases)|September]] 2002 until the series' end. There were only three exceptions in the line's otherwise-regular release schedule: [[November (releases)|November]] [[1998 (releases)|1998]], when ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]'' was published in the PDA release slot despite not being classified as such by BBC Books; [[August (releases)|August]] [[1999 (releases)|1999]], when both volumes of the [[multi-Doctor story|multi-Doctor]] novel ''[[Interference (novel)|Interference]]'' were published; and [[February (releases)|February]] [[2004 (releases)|2004]], when ''[[Scream of the Shalka (novelisation)|Scream of the Shalka]]'', a [[BBC Books novelisation|novelisation]] of the [[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|webcast of the same name]], was released, pushing back the next PDA into [[March (releases)|March]].


The series ended in late 2005 (along with the EDA line) when BBC Books decided to focus its publishing ventures on books related to the revived TV series. Although there was speculation regarding the PDA line resuming with novels featuring the [[Eighth Doctor]] and even [[Ninth Doctor]], as of 2009 the line has yet to resume and there's been no indication BBC Books will do so in the near future. From 2006 to March 2009 the baton of past Doctor adventures was carried by the ''[[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]]'' series of short-story collections published by [[Big Finish]] (a company best known for its ''Doctor Who'' audio dramas). Featuring the first eight Doctors -- and many writers from the PDA range -- the series continued until the spring of 2009 when the BBC did not renew its licence. Whether this suggests BBC Books may be considering revisiting past Doctors again (with 10 incarnations to choose from as of January 2010) is unknown.
Both the PDA and EDA lines ended in late [[2005 (releases)|2005]] when BBC Books decided to focus its publishing ventures on books related to the revived TV series. However, there have been numerous "adventures involving past Doctors" published since the advent of the [[BBC Wales]] era. The ''[[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]]'' series of short story anthologies and the annual standalone "deluxe" hardback novel line that began with ''[[The Wheel of Ice (novel)|The Wheel of Ice]]'' are two examples of regularly released book lines featuring a Doctor not currently featuring in the television series.

The BBC Past Doctor Adventures was a series of paperback novel releases by BBC Books, launched in 1997 in conjunction with its Eighth Doctor Adventures line. The line featured new adventures of the first seven Doctors, with the exception of two releases: The Face of the Enemy, featuring the Master; and one of the last novels, Fear Itself, which was the only PDA with the Eighth Doctor in a lead role, following the Ninth Doctor's debut on television.

The Past Doctor Adventures novels were released on a regular schedule by BBC Books: monthly from the range's launch in June 1997 until August 2002, and bimonthly from September 2002 until the series' end. There were only three exceptions in the line's otherwise-regular release schedule: November 1998, when The Infinity Doctors was published in the PDA release slot despite not being classified as such by BBC Books; August 1999, when both volumes of the multi-Doctor novel Interference were published; and February 2004, when Scream of the Shalka, a novelisation of the webcast of the same name, was released, pushing back the next PDA into March.

Both the PDA and EDA lines ended in late 2005 when BBC Books decided to focus its publishing ventures on books related to the revived TV series. However, there have been numerous "adventures involving past Doctors" published since the advent of the BBC Wales era. The Short Trips series of short story anthologies and the annual standalone "deluxe" hardback novel line that began with The Wheel of Ice are two examples of regularly released book lines featuring a Doctor not currently featuring in the television series.
