The '''Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures''' were a series of novels that featured [[Bernice Summerfield]] and her "supporting cast". They were published by [[Virgin Books]] following the loss of the licence that allowed them to publish an original series of novels, the [[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]] series, which could legally use characters and concepts derived from ''[[Doctor Who]]''. Though most featured Bernice herself, two, ''[[Deadfall]]'' and ''[[Dead Romance]]'', centred on other characters.
The series began in [[May (releases)|May]] [[1997 (releases)|1997]] and ended in [[October (releases)|October]] [[1999 (releases)|1999]]. [[Big Finish Productions]] would later obtain the licence to these characters for their own line of  [[Big Finish Bernice Summerfield series|audios, novels and short fiction featuring Benny]] and her supporting cast. Several novels were adapted for audio by Big Finish alongside several ''Doctor Who'' New Adventures novel adaptations that were altered to omit the Doctor and focus on Summerfield.


[[File:NA001 genesys.jpg|thumb|right|The first NA, ''[[Timewyrm: Genesys]]'', displaying the initial cover design.]]
The book series initially used the same cover designs as that for the later ''Doctor Who'' NA books, except with a newly commissioned New Adventures logo. A new cover design was introduced with ''[[Another Girl, Another Planet]]'', which removed the NA identifier from the front cover and introduced a new title-lettering style.
The '''New Adventures published by [[Virgin Books]]''' were a series of original, full-length ''[[Doctor Who]]'' novels that continued the adventures of the [[Seventh Doctor]] (and, initially, [[Ace]]) following on from the TV story, ''[[Survival]]''. As the books were geared for an older audience, they included more mature themes including language, violence and sexuality. One book in the "NA" series, ''[[Shakedown]]'' was unique as a novelization of the non-[[BBC]] spin-off production, ''[[Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans]]'', but greatly expanded to include the Doctor.


The series concluded with the [[Eighth Doctor]] novel ''[[The Dying Days]]''. The series ended because, following the broadcast of the 1996 TV movie, [[BBC Books]] took over the license for publishing original Doctor Who fiction, although there was an overlap of more than a year to allow Virgin to publish its contracted novels. One immediate change saw the book line change its branding, relegating the Doctor Who logo to the spine and rebranding the series as "The New Adventures". ''The Dying Days'' contained no references to ''Doctor Who'' on the cover at all.
Though not considered part of the main series, the short story collection ''[[Decalog 5: Wonders]]'' includes the first Bernice Summerfield short story, ''[[The Judgement of Solomon]]'' by [[Lawrence Miles]]. Although past [[Virgin Decalogs]] had some direct connection to ''Doctor Who'', by the time ''Decalog 5'' was published Virgin no longer had the rights to publish stories featuring the Doctor; other than the sole Summerfield story, the rest of the stories have no evident connection to either the ''Doctor Who'' or Summerfield continuity.
 
After ''The Dying Days'' was published, the books continued with Bernice as the principal character in a new [[Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures|series of novels]] which were officially dubbed "The New Adventures" (with a new NA logo introduced).
 
Virgin launched two spin-off lines following the initial success of the NA line: the [[Virgin Decalogs|Decalogs]], a series of five short story collections, and the [[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventures]], chronicling the adventures of the first six Doctors.
 
Although the continuity of the NA line was initially ignored by the BBC Books lines, this was eventually relaxed and references to NA and MA adventures began to appear.
 
One NA novel, ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'', was later adapted as the television episodes ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'' and ''[[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]''.

== Notes ==
[[fr:Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures]]
=== Continuity ===
* The New Adventures introduced a few new companions into the life of the Doctor: [[Bernice Summerfield]] (debuting in ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]''), [[Roz Forrester]] and [[Chris Cwej]] (debuting in ''[[Original Sin]]'') and [[Wolsey]] the [[cat]] (who debuted in ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'').
* Ace was written out in ''Love and War'' and left the Doctor for three years (in terms of Ace's timestream) before reuniting with him in ''[[Deceit]]''. During that time she changed considerably and turned into what some fans refer to as "Space Bitch Ace". Ace left a second time, permanently, in ''[[Set Piece]]''. Ace's character development and departure were contradicted by later media, which also contradicted each other.
* Apart from the novels, a few of the comics and audios take place specifically in the New Adventures continuity. These feature the Seventh Doctor, Bernice and the older version of Ace.
* ''[[Eternity Weeps]]'' portrays the death (some years in the future, from the viewpoint of readers when the book first came out) of the [[Third Doctor]]'s companion, [[Liz Shaw]].
* Several novels of the New Adventures featured old foes from the TV series, including:
** ''Timewyrm: Exodus'' - The [[War Chief]]
** ''Iceberg'' - [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] and the [[Cyber-Controller]]
** ''Blood Heat'' - [[Silurian]]s and [[Sea Devil]]s
** ''No Future'' - [[The Monk]] and the [[Vardan]]s
** ''Blood Harvest'' - [[Great Vampire]]s
** ''First Frontier'' - [[The Master]]
** ''Toy Soldiers'' - [[Ogron]]s (cameo only)
** ''Head Games'' - [[Valeyard]] (illusion only)
** ''Shakedown'' - [[Sontaran]]s and the [[Rutan Host]]
** ''GodEngine'' - [[Dalek]]s (cameo only)
** ''The Dying Days'' -[[Ice Warrior]]s
 
=== Adaptations ===
* ''[[Birthright (audio story)|Birthright]]'' and ''[[Just War (audio story)|Just War]]'' were adapted, without the Doctor, the rights to which character they did not have permission to use at the time, as the first [[Big Finish Bernice Summerfield series|Bernice Summerfield productions]] from [[Big Finish Productions]].
* An adaptation of ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'' appeared in [[Series 3 (Doctor Who)|Series 3]] of ''Doctor Who''.
* ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'' was adapted by Big Finish for [[Love and War (audio story)|an audio drama]] in 2012; this time, the company had full rights to include the Doctor.
 
=== Major Links to the Virgin Missing Adventures ===
* A story strand originated in ''[[Blood Harvest]]'' continued into the first Missing Adventure ''[[Goth Opera]]'' in an effort to get readers to buy both books.
* ''[[Shakedown]]'' and ''[[Lords of the Storm]]'' both featured the [[Sontaran]]s in the same month.
* The Missing Adventure ''[[Cold Fusion]]'' featured both the [[Fifth Doctor]] and his companions with the Seventh Doctor and [[Roz Forrester|Roz]] and [[Chris Cwej]] from the New Adventures.
 
=== Production Notes ===
* ''[[So Vile a Sin]]'' was published out of sequence with the other books because of the delays. In story terms, however, it took place between ''[[Damaged Goods]]'' and ''[[Bad Therapy]]''. The death of a major character in that book was meant to be a surprise, but because of the production delay, that was spoiled, and the prologue started off with the funeral for that character. The delayed publication rendered it the final Doctor Who New Adventures novel to be issued.

The Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures were a series of novels that featured Bernice Summerfield and her "supporting cast". They were published by Virgin Books following the loss of the licence that allowed them to publish an original series of novels, the New Adventures series, which could legally use characters and concepts derived from Doctor Who. Though most featured Bernice herself, two, Deadfall and Dead Romance, centred on other characters.

The series began in May 1997 and ended in October 1999. Big Finish Productions would later obtain the licence to these characters for their own line of audios, novels and short fiction featuring Benny and her supporting cast. Several novels were adapted for audio by Big Finish alongside several Doctor Who New Adventures novel adaptations that were altered to omit the Doctor and focus on Summerfield.

The book series initially used the same cover designs as that for the later Doctor Who NA books, except with a newly commissioned New Adventures logo. A new cover design was introduced with Another Girl, Another Planet, which removed the NA identifier from the front cover and introduced a new title-lettering style.

Though not considered part of the main series, the short story collection Decalog 5: Wonders includes the first Bernice Summerfield short story, The Judgement of Solomon by Lawrence Miles. Although past Virgin Decalogs had some direct connection to Doctor Who, by the time Decalog 5 was published Virgin no longer had the rights to publish stories featuring the Doctor; other than the sole Summerfield story, the rest of the stories have no evident connection to either the Doctor Who or Summerfield continuity.
