BBC Doctor Who novels
Beginning after the acquisition of the rights from Virgin Books in 1996 , BBC Books published a number of original Doctor Who novels .
Novels
Initial run
For its first five years of output, BBC Books continued the precedent set by Virgin Books 's New Adventures and Missing Adventures lines by releasing two novels a month, one continuing an ongoing Eighth Doctor storyline and the other concerning a more standalone adventure of a previous Doctor. These are often divided by fans into "Eighth Doctor Adventures" and "Past Doctor Adventures" .

Halving the output
Beginning in September 2002 , instead of releasing two novels each month, BBC Books began publishing one a month. The books alternated between releases in the ongoing Eighth Doctor storyline and standalone stories about past Doctors, with the notable exception of Scream of the Shalka , which featured a Ninth Doctor and was published between an Eighth Doctor novel and a Fifth Doctor novel .

The series took a break from March to June 2005 while series 1 was airing; in May, the first three of the BBC New Series Adventures featuring Christopher Eccleston 's Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler were released. Following this, the monthly series returned without the alternating Eighth Doctor novel pattern, as the Eighth Doctor was now a "past Doctor". The series concluded with BBC Books' first December release.

These new books were oriented toward a younger audience and published in sets of three, a pattern that BBC Books would later reuse for the Torchwood novels . The series eventually settled into a spring-fall-winter release schedule of nine books a year.
The novel release schedule took a six-month break during the showrunner transition from Russell T Davies to Steven Moffat .
