BBC New Series Adventures

The BBC Tenth Doctor Adventures are a series of novels printed by BBC Books and are stories featuring the Tenth Doctor. Following the success of the BBC Ninth Doctor Adventures, six novels were published in 2006 featuring the Doctor and Rose, followed by more books published in 2007 and 2008 featuring Martha Jones as companion. Martha continued to appear in prose adventures until well after her departure from the series. Her successor, Donna Noble, first appeared in Pest Control, a made-for-audio adventure published by BBC Audio as part of the Tenth Doctor Adventures line; the first printed novels featuring her were released in the Autumn of 2008, however she only appeared in a few of the books before a series of novels featuring the Doctor travelling solo began with The Eyeless and continued into September 2009. So far all releases announced for 2009 also follow the theme of featuring classic monsters and villains from the TV series, including Daleks, Sontarans (twice), and the Nestene Consciousness.

Further releases beyond September 2009 have yet to be announced; assuming they continue, it remains to be seen whether the TDA line will continue into 2010 following David Tennant's announcement of his leaving the role of the Doctor after the final "gap year" special airs in late 2009 or early 2010, or if a change to what will presumably become the BBC Eleventh Doctor Adventures line will occur immediately. (When Christopher Eccleston left the series in 2005, the Ninth Doctor Adventures line continued to be issued for a time after his departure until books featuring the Tenth Doctor could be prepared.)

The TDA line also includes an ongoing series of shorter novellas under the banner "Quick Reads". Launched in 2006, this is a BBC initiative to promote literacy, and the second release in the series, Made of Steel, marked the "revived franchise" debut of longtime Doctor Who novelist and scriptwriter Terrance Dicks. A series of made-for-audio stories, read by actors David Tennant and Catherine Tate, have also been released under the TDA banner. So far, the audio books have continued to feature Donna Noble, despite her no longer being featured in the print novels.

Notes

Behind the chapter numbers in the books are symbols similar to the "Gallifreyan writing" seen in the series. The same symbols appear on the spines, and are Gallifreyan numbers. The recurring patterns in the symbols suggest that Time Lords count in base seven. However, the numerals for 11 and 13 are the same, suggesting an error.
