The '''''Audio Visuals''''' were an [[Fan fiction|unlicensed]] series of fan ''[[Doctor Who]]'' audio dramas produced in Britain during the 1980s and the early 1990s. Many of the personnel involved would go on to professional work connected with the revived version of ''Doctor Who'', ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'', and [[Big Finish Productions]]. Twenty-nine audio plays in all were recorded and distributed on cassette between 1984 and 1991.

'''Series 14''' was a series of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' produced by [[BBC]] in collaboration with [[Sony Pictures Television|Sony]]'s [[Bad Wolf Productions|Bad Wolf]] and [[Disney Branded Television]] for streaming on [[Disney+]].


== Overview ==
== History ==
=== Early announcements ===
The pilot episode, "The Space Wail", featuring [[the Doctor]] as voiced by [[Stephen Payne]], was recorded in 1984. The first full seasons (1985-1988) were produced by [[Bill Baggs]] and starred [[Nicholas Briggs]] as his own version of the Doctor. The fourth and final season (1989-1991) was produced by [[Gary Russell]]. Briggs and Russell would have healthy careers ahead of them in the worlds of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and, in the case of Russell, ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' as well, both before and after [[Russell T Davies]]' revival of the series.
In [[May (production)|May]] [[2017 (production)|2017]], it was announced that due to the terms of a deal between [[BBC Worldwide]] and [[SMG Pictures]] in [[China]], the company had [[right of first refusal]] on the purchase for the Chinese market of past and future series of the programme, as well as spin-offs.<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2017-06-03/the-bbc-is-already-preparing-for-at-least-five-more-series-of-doctor-who</ref><ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/worldwide/2017/doctor-who-china</ref>


In [[October (production)|October]] [[2019 (production)|2019]], it was revealed that due to the show heading to [[HBO Max]], the network had struck a deal for additional series of the programme.<ref>https://vocal.media/futurism/doctor-who-series-13-and-14-confirmed-hbo-max-reveals-but-will-whittaker-stick-around</ref>
Although the Audio Visuals productions were in violation of copyright, the BBC chose to look the other way. Gary Russell later told an interviewer


On [[29 July (production)|29 July]] [[2021 (production)|2021]], following the announcement of [[Glass avatar|Jodie Whittaker]] and [[Chris Chibnall]]'s departure, the [[BBC]] noted, "We will announce plans for the new generation of Doctor Who in due course – watch this space!"<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-next-doctor-showrunner-newsupdate/</ref>
: ''We were fans doing some stuff for a handful of people. We never advertised in professional magazines, we kept ourselves to ourselves. In doing so, we broke every copyright rule in the book (hell, [[Terry Nation]] would have crucified us — although I think our [[Dalek]] stories knocked spots off [[Eric Saward|Saward]]'s!) [[John Nathan-Turner|JNT]] was certainly aware of us, but he didn't care. Why should he? We were no more than any other fan product and at least we weren't printing articles about him or the show. I doubt Saward knew or cared. He wouldn't know drama if it bit him.''


It was noted in a big reveal by the BBC on [[24 September (releases)|24 September]] 2021 that [[Russell T Davies]] would make his return in the [[2023 specials|60th anniversary]] in [[2023 (releases)|2023]] and remain as [[head writer]] [[Writer]] in "series beyond".<ref name="RTD">https://www.doctorwho.tv/news/?article=russell-t-davies-to-return-as-doctor-who-showrunner</ref><ref name=RTDCult>https://cultbox.co.uk/news/russell-t-davies-back-as-doctor-who-showrunner</ref> Like the preceding [[Series 13 (Doctor Who)|series 13]]<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-11-21/doctor-who-series-13-happening/</ref>, the series was announced as happening before the previous series had even begun broadcast.
: [[Gary Russell]]<ref>http://justyce.org/gary-russell-interview.html</ref>


=== Promotion ===
Professional actors [[Nabil Shaban]] ([[Sil]]) and [[Michael Wisher]] (the first actor to play [[Davros]], as well as the voice of the Daleks in several stories) lent a hand.
The very first bit of promotion for this series came on [[24 September (releases)|24 September]] [[2021 (production)|2021]] with the reveal that [[Russell T Davies]] would be leading the show from the 60th anniversary and into "series beyond".<ref name="RTD" />


On [[6 January (releases)|6 January]] [[2022 (releases)|2022]], [[visual effects]] editor [[Emily Lawrence]] spoke to ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 573|573]] and offered a look into what may be in store for the future of the show, hinting at 360 screens and gaming software akin to shows like ''The Mandalorian'', saying "''The 360 screens in "The Mandalorian" and how they used gaming software to create those amazing landscapes is something I’d love to see in "Doctor Who", the actors walk in front of the screen and the environment moves with them.''", explaing it would get rid of green screens once and for all.<ref>https://cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/doctor-who-bbc-centenary-special-visual-effects-spectacular</ref>
Many of those involved in the Audio Visuals went on to work on [[BBV Productions]] (founded by Bill Baggs) or Big Finish Productions, which in 1999 began producing licensed ''Doctor Who'' audio drama under the guidance of Gary Russell. During the fourth season's production, [[Nigel Fairs]] began developing his original sci-fi series ''[[Pisces (series)|Pisces]]'', which had several Audio Visuals regulars in it and shared continuity with the fan series.[http://www.justyce.org/nigel-fairs-sept-2000.html] Nicholas Briggs has worked for both BBV and Big Finish as an actor and as a writer. He also worked on additional Doctor Who-related/inspired productions for [[Reeltime Pictures]] and beginning in 2005, has done vocal work as [[Dalek]]s and other roles for the new ''Doctor Who'' series.


On [[8 May (releases)|8 May]], [[Ncuti Gatwa]] [[Billie Piper]] [[Bruno Langley]] [[John Barrowman]] [[Noel Clarke]] [[Camille Coduri]] [[Catherine Tate]] [[Freema Agyeman]] [[Elisabeth Sladen]] [[Michelle Ryan]] [[Ingrid Oliver]] [[Jenna Coleman]] [[Pearl Mackie]] [[Alex Kingston]] [[Georgia Moffett]] [[Yasmin Finney]] [[Glass avatar|Jodie Whittaker]] shared a post on [[Instagram]] containing [[Binary vascular system|two hearts]] and a [[The Doctor's TARDIS|blue box]].<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CdSzPyuo8sL/ Ncuti Gatwa on Instagram]</ref> Shortly after, it was officially announced by the BBC that Gatwa would take on the role of the Doctor.<ref name="Ncuti">https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor</ref>
== List of Audio Visuals stories ==
Speaking on it, Gatwa said:
{| class="wikitable"
{{Quote|There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same. Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor’s metaphorical playground. The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it’s daunting, I’m aware I’m joining a really supportive family. Unlike [[the Doctor]], I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show.|[[Ncuti Gatwa]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor}}

== Relationship to mainstream ''Doctor Who'' universe ==
{{Quote|The future is here and it’s Ncuti! Sometimes talent walks through the door and it’s so bright and bold and brilliant, I just stand back in awe and thank my lucky stars. Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those [[TARDIS key]]s in seconds. It’s an honour to work with him, and a hoot, I can’t wait to get started. I’m sure you’re dying to know more, but we’re rationing ourselves for now, with the wonderful [[Jodie Whittaker|Jodie]]’s epic finale yet to come. But I promise you, [[2023 (releases)|2023]] will be spectacular!|[[Russell T Davies]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor}}
=== Continuity references ===
The series' [[Fred|version of the Doctor]] and his companion [[Ria (Party Animals)|Ria]] appeared in the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic story ''[[Party Animals]]'', also written by Gary Russell, with the ''Audio Visuals'' Doctor depicted as a future incarnation of the [[Seventh Doctor]]. He reappeared for one panel in ''[[The Incomplete Death's Head (comic story)|The Incomplete Death's Head]]'' (set in part during the events of ''Party Animals''). The multi-part [[Eighth Doctor]] story ''[[Wormwood (comic story)|Wormwood]]'' saw [[Shayde]], posing as the Doctor, faking a regeneration into a fictitious Ninth Doctor who was identical to the ''Audio Visuals'' Doctor. [[Nicholas Briggs]] himself would go on to portray alternative versions of the Doctor on [[Previous Doctor (Seven Keys to Doomsday)|two]] [[Previous Doctor (Exile)|occasions]], although neither of them were otherwise depicted as overly similar to the ''Audio Visuals'' incarnation, unlike the character's appearances in the aforementioned comics.


On [[26 March (releases)|26 May]], Russell T Davies spoke to ''Doctor Who Magazine'', [[DWM 578|issue 578]], about his plans around the reveal of Gatwa and their follow-up appearance at the [[BAFTA]]-awards show.<ref>https://cultbox.co.uk/news/russell-t-davies-to-resume-writing-production-notes-column</ref>
Separately from this, [[BBV Productions]]' ''Cyber-Hunt'', an audio play in the ''[[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]]'' range which did not feature licensed DWU concepts, and also notable for introducing the [[Cyberon]]s, introduced an amnesiac character going by "Fred" or "the Wanderer", played by Nicholas Briggs. As freely discussed by Briggs in interviews,<ref>[http://justyce.org/nick-briggs-03-april-2000.html Interview of Nicholas Briggs and Gary Russell on Justyce.org in 2000]</ref> Fred was intended to come across as an amnesiac version of his ''Audio Visuals'' Doctor, with the amnesia device allowing the story to continue in a professional context without impinging on the BBC's copyright. Fred reappeared in a second audio, ''Vital Signs'', without the Cyberons. Many years later, BBV Productions published ''[[Cyber-Hunt (novelisation)|Cyber-Hunt]]'', a novelisation of the original audio play which also featured further legal ties to the DWU. The novel reified the effective "decanonisation" of the ''Audio Visuals'' by later licensed media into an in-universe rewriting history, revealing that Fred had formally sacrificed his former identity, allowing another version of him to replace him, as a way of removing the destruction of his homeworld from [[history]].


In an interview with ''Variety'' on [[30 July (releases)|30 July]], former villain actor [[Neil Patrick Harris]] teased that the new Doctor would be "''the first gay Doctor''".<ref>https://cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/neil-patrick-harris-says-ncuti-gatwa-will-portray-the-first-gay-doctor</ref>
As noted in this page's story notes, minor continuity references to the ''Audio Visuals'' have since appeared in many official ''Doctor Who'' stories, particularly in the early work of [[Gary Russell]] and various [[Big Finish Productions]] releases. [[Jim Mortimore]]'s ''[[The Natural History of Fear (audio story)|The Natural History of Fear]]'' used a version of the ''Doctor Who'' theme which Mortimore had composed for the ''Audio Visuals''. [[Cavan Scott]], a fan of the ''Audio Visuals'', originally intended to feature the recurring villain Askran in ''[[Project Twilight (audio story)|Project: Twilight]]'' in the role which was later filled by [[William Abberton|Nimrod]]; Scott has since included several small nods to the ''Audio Visuals'' in his work.<ref>''Project Valhalla'' afterword</ref> The recurring Audio Visuals villain [[Cuthbert (The Sands of Life)|Cuthbert]] and his [[Conglomerate]] served as arc antagonists for [[series 2 (4DA)|series 2]] and [[series 5 (4DA)|5]] of Big Finish's ''[[Fourth Doctor Adventures (audio series)|Fourth Doctor Adventures]]''.


On [[24 September (releases)|24 September]], former showrunner [[Steven Moffat]] told ''[[Radio Times]]'' that he had read [[Russell T Davies]]'s scripts and said they were "''fantastic''".<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/steven-moffat-doubts-doctor-who-return-exclusive-newsupdate/</ref>
=== Remakes ===
A number of remakes to Audio Visuals stories (some very loosely adapted) have been produced mainly in the form of another audio story created by [[Big Finish Productions]].


Same day auditions for the new [[companion]] were held.<ref name="DWM584" />

|InMemoryOf=
|Note=Though not credited in any way, [[Mat Irvine]] did help considerably with the operation of [[K9]] for this episode. In the DVD commentary, [[Phil Collinson]] acknowledges Irvine as the "operator of the original K9 prop", as seen in the very last scene of the episode, and admitting that the original prop had been stored in Irvine's garage and was found especially for this scene.
|Note2=This episode marked a big change in the make-up department, with [[Barbara Southcott]] becoming the more-or-less permanent [[make-up designer]] on the show.  Also, Millennium Effects became "Millennium FX" with this episode, and have been credited thus since.
|Note3=[[Guido Cerasuolo]]'s actual credit is "Line Producer Italy".
|Note4=[[Ernie Vincze]]'s surname is misspelled as "Vince" in the credits as originally transmitted.
|Note5=This was the first episode of the [[BBC Wales]] series to have two credited script editors.  Oddly, [[Emma Freud]] was credited at the end of the roll, suggesting she was considered more "senior" than [[Brian Minchin]]. 
|Note6=As on ''[[The Vampires of Venice]]'', [[Patrick Schweitzer]] was double-credited as both [[producer]] and [[line producer]].
|Note7=This episode marked the ''Doctor Who'' debut of [[production designer]] [[Michael Pickwoad]], the [[BBC Wales]] debut of [[costume designer]] [[Barbara Kidd]], and the first time that something like twenty team members had been credited for their work on ''Doctor Who''. It was the biggest sea change of behind-the-scenes personnel in [[BBC Wales]] history, much bigger, in fact, than the changes that had occurred with ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]''.
|Note8=<br /><br />In [[CON]]: ''[[Charlie McDonnell - Runner (CON episode)|Charlie McDonnell - Runner]]'', [[Jay Harley]] — then credited under their [[T:ACTOR#Crediting trans people|deadname]] — was described as a [[runner]], and even depicted as delivering [[tea]] to cast and crew. However, they're credited here as an "assistant director", albeit lower than the [[3rd AD]], which does still essentially mean that they were a runner.
|Note9=<br /><br />This is the first episode of the [[BBC Wales]] series in which the title "Script Editor" is not used.
|Note10=This story had no direct [[Visual Effects]] credit, which means that it unusually didn't credit [[The Mill]]. Instead, the roll credited many more workers from The Mill than usual, and even changed [[Will Cohen]]'s normal title to the grander, "[[Executive Visual FX Producer]]".
|Note11=[[Rhys Jones (props)|Rhys Jones]] is credited as a "Prop Chargehand" rather than a "Props Chargehand".
|Note12=No Ood actually appear in this episode, but they receive a creator credit.
|Note13=[[Jay Harley]] was credited under their [[T:ACTOR#Crediting trans people|deadname]] as [[assistant director]].
|Note14=• ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'' was written by [[Kit Pedler]] and [[Gerry Davis]] •
<!--There are note variables from Note2 to Note20, but these are probably only necessary for the odd case of "The End of Time".  This set of variables are the only ones which aren't automatically linked; it's just a freeform note field.  All Notes mass together in a single paragraph at the end of the table created by this template.  Thus, each individual note should be a full sentence ending with a period, and should have any links enclosed in [[brackets]].

As a work of unlicensed fiction, subject is not a source for writing our in-universe articles, valid or invalid, and may only be referenced in behind the scenes sections.

The Audio Visuals were an unlicensed series of fan Doctor Who audio dramas produced in Britain during the 1980s and the early 1990s. Many of the personnel involved would go on to professional work connected with the revived version of Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Big Finish Productions. Twenty-nine audio plays in all were recorded and distributed on cassette between 1984 and 1991.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

The pilot episode, "The Space Wail", featuring the Doctor as voiced by Stephen Payne, was recorded in 1984. The first full seasons (1985-1988) were produced by Bill Baggs and starred Nicholas Briggs as his own version of the Doctor. The fourth and final season (1989-1991) was produced by Gary Russell. Briggs and Russell would have healthy careers ahead of them in the worlds of Doctor Who and, in the case of Russell, Torchwood as well, both before and after Russell T Davies' revival of the series.

Although the Audio Visuals productions were in violation of copyright, the BBC chose to look the other way. Gary Russell later told an interviewer

We were fans doing some stuff for a handful of people. We never advertised in professional magazines, we kept ourselves to ourselves. In doing so, we broke every copyright rule in the book (hell, Terry Nation would have crucified us — although I think our Dalek stories knocked spots off Saward's!) JNT was certainly aware of us, but he didn't care. Why should he? We were no more than any other fan product and at least we weren't printing articles about him or the show. I doubt Saward knew or cared. He wouldn't know drama if it bit him.
Gary Russell[1]

Professional actors Nabil Shaban (Sil) and Michael Wisher (the first actor to play Davros, as well as the voice of the Daleks in several stories) lent a hand.

Many of those involved in the Audio Visuals went on to work on BBV Productions (founded by Bill Baggs) or Big Finish Productions, which in 1999 began producing licensed Doctor Who audio drama under the guidance of Gary Russell. During the fourth season's production, Nigel Fairs began developing his original sci-fi series Pisces, which had several Audio Visuals regulars in it and shared continuity with the fan series.[1] Nicholas Briggs has worked for both BBV and Big Finish as an actor and as a writer. He also worked on additional Doctor Who-related/inspired productions for Reeltime Pictures and beginning in 2005, has done vocal work as Daleks and other roles for the new Doctor Who series.

Season 5[[edit] | [edit source]]

Some further stories were planned but never actually produced.

Relationship to mainstream Doctor Who universe[[edit] | [edit source]]

Continuity references[[edit] | [edit source]]

The series' version of the Doctor and his companion Ria appeared in the Doctor Who Magazine comic story Party Animals, also written by Gary Russell, with the Audio Visuals Doctor depicted as a future incarnation of the Seventh Doctor. He reappeared for one panel in The Incomplete Death's Head (set in part during the events of Party Animals). The multi-part Eighth Doctor story Wormwood saw Shayde, posing as the Doctor, faking a regeneration into a fictitious Ninth Doctor who was identical to the Audio Visuals Doctor. Nicholas Briggs himself would go on to portray alternative versions of the Doctor on two occasions, although neither of them were otherwise depicted as overly similar to the Audio Visuals incarnation, unlike the character's appearances in the aforementioned comics.

Separately from this, BBV Productions' Cyber-Hunt, an audio play in the Audio Adventures in Time & Space range which did not feature licensed DWU concepts, and also notable for introducing the Cyberons, introduced an amnesiac character going by "Fred" or "the Wanderer", played by Nicholas Briggs. As freely discussed by Briggs in interviews,[6] Fred was intended to come across as an amnesiac version of his Audio Visuals Doctor, with the amnesia device allowing the story to continue in a professional context without impinging on the BBC's copyright. Fred reappeared in a second audio, Vital Signs, without the Cyberons. Many years later, BBV Productions published Cyber-Hunt, a novelisation of the original audio play which also featured further legal ties to the DWU. The novel reified the effective "decanonisation" of the Audio Visuals by later licensed media into an in-universe rewriting history, revealing that Fred had formally sacrificed his former identity, allowing another version of him to replace him, as a way of removing the destruction of his homeworld from history.

As noted in this page's story notes, minor continuity references to the Audio Visuals have since appeared in many official Doctor Who stories, particularly in the early work of Gary Russell and various Big Finish Productions releases. Jim Mortimore's The Natural History of Fear used a version of the Doctor Who theme which Mortimore had composed for the Audio Visuals. Cavan Scott, a fan of the Audio Visuals, originally intended to feature the recurring villain Askran in Project: Twilight in the role which was later filled by Nimrod; Scott has since included several small nods to the Audio Visuals in his work.[7] The recurring Audio Visuals villain Cuthbert and his Conglomerate served as arc antagonists for series 2 and 5 of Big Finish's Fourth Doctor Adventures.
