'''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+]].


Due to showrunner [[Russell T Davies]] announcing in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 585|#585]] that the series would consist of only 8 episodes plus a special, this series would have an identical number of episodes to the previous [[Series 13 (Doctor Who)|Series 13]], which also consisted of a reduced episode count.<ref name="DWM585" />
They were thus the publishers of the [[Tom Baker]] audio range that began with ''[[Hornets' Nest]]'', readings of [[Audiobooks of novelisations|Target Books novelisations]], [[Doctor Who TV soundtrack releases|TV soundtracks]] of [[missing episode]]s, some original audio dramas (based upon ''[[Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' and ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''), and ''Doctor Who'' audio archive material (like the series of ''[[Doctor Who at the BBC (documentary series)|Doctor Who at the BBC]]'' releases) and documentaries.


== Overview ==
After AudioGO's demise in 2013, ''Doctor Who'' audiobooks were again released by BBC Audio.
=== Early announcements ===
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>
== History ==
Previously, the branding BBC Radio Collection was used for release of radio dramas based upon the series: ''[[Exploration Earth (audio story)|Exploration Earth]]'', ''[[Slipback (audio story)|Slipback]]'', ''[[The Paradise of Death (audio story)|The Paradise of Death]]'' and ''[[The Ghosts of N-Space (audio story)|The Ghosts of N-Space]]''. Also released under the banner — although technically inaccurately as they were never intended for radio — were edited TV soundtracks taken initially from episodes that had been deleted by the BBC but for which audio tracks survived (i.e. ''[[The Macra Terror (TV story)|The Macra Terror]]'' and ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (TV story)|The Evil of the Daleks]]''). The BBC Radio Collection also reissued the audio adaptation of ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]''. Beginning in 2004 the "BBC Radio Collection" branding was dropped, and releases for more recent stories have occurred, even those available on DVD, the most recent to date being an audio version of the 1984 story ''[[Warriors of the Deep (TV story)|Warriors of the Deep]]''.


On [[29 July (production)|29 July]] [[2021 (production)|2021]], following the announcement of [[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>
Significant landmark releases included 2008's audio story ''[[Pest Control (audio story)|Pest Control]]'', which launched a series of original ''Doctor Who'' stories that continued through 2017, and the audio story ''[[Hornets' Nest]]'', a five-part 2009 release that saw the return of [[Tom Baker]] to the role of the [[Fourth Doctor]].


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]] 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.
== Administration and closing ==
AudioGO entered administration after significant cashflow issues were discovered in [[October (production)|October]] [[2013 (production)|2013]]. The company suspended operations and effectively ceased trading, affecting many of the expected 50th anniversary releases.<ref>http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2013/11/audiogo-in-administration.html</ref>


=== Promotion ===
In [[January (production)|January]] [[2014 (production)|2014]], the front page of AudioGO's website was replaced by a notice that trading from the website had ceased. Customers were advised to download their purchased libraries from the site before it became entirely unavailable on [[1 February (production)|1 February]] [[2014 (production)|2014]].
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.''", explaining 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>
Since [[November (releases)|November]] [[2014 (releases)|2014]], [[BBC Physical Audio]] have released ''Doctor Who'' audiobooks.


On [[8 May (releases)|8 May]], [[Ncuti Gatwa]] 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>
=== Subsequent availability of AudioGO material ===
Speaking on it, Gatwa said:
Rights to AudioGO's BBC-licenced content (including ''Doctor Who'') for the UK and the rest of the world excluding North America, Australia and New Zealand, were transferred to [[Random House]] in December 2013. <ref>http://www.thebookseller.com/news/audiogos-bbc-titles-signed-random-house.html</ref>
{{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}}


Showrunnner Davies added:
AudioGO's US titles were acquired by independent audiobook publisher [[Blackstone Audio]], a company which had previously been acquired by AudioGO in January 2013 but sold back to its former owners in October of that year when AudioGo entered administration. Blackstone distributes the titles through its arms BlackstoneLibrary.com (for libraries) and Downpour.com (for consumers.) <ref>http://www.audiogo-library.com/</ref>
{{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}}


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>
Rights to 5000 of AudioGO's non-BBC titles were sold to Amazon-owned audiobook vendor [[Audible]].<ref>http://www.thebookseller.com/news/audible-buys-rights-5000-audiogo-titles.html</ref>


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>
The ''[[Destiny of the Doctor]]'' series can be acquired through [[Big Finish Productions]]' website, either individually or as a [[Destiny of the Doctor: The Complete Adventure|box set]] collecting all the stories.


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>

{{Quote|I love this show, and this is the best of both worlds – with the vision and joy of the BBC and [[Disney+]] together we can launch [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] all around the planet, reaching a new generation of fans while keeping our traditional home firmly on the BBC in [[United Kingdom|the UK]].|[[Russell T Davies]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/bbc-and-disney-branded-television-join-forces-on-doctor-who}}

[[Disney Branded Television]] President [[Ayo Davis]] also offered a few words:

It is a gift of a role, and a dream come true, and I will do everything to try and fill the boots the fellow companions have travelled in before me.

Gatwa also revealed that his Doctor's costume was not yet finished, saying "''it's still fluid, we’re still building.''".<ref>https://cultbox.co.uk/news/doctor-who-stars-peter-capaldi-and-ncuti-gatwa-meet-at-scottish-bafta-awards</ref>

|DedicatedTo=<!--This exact credit never actually used as of April 2010; left for future use-->
|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]].

Revision as of 08:57, 1 September 2023

This topic might have a better name.

The only page we have for BBC Audio releases probably shouldn't be named after & focused on a company that only published them for a couple of years.

Talk about it here.

RealWorld.png

You may be looking for BBC Audiobooks as it exists within the DWU.

AudioGO Ltd was a primarily digital audio publisher which purchased BBC Audiobooks in July 2010, thereby inheriting all Doctor Who, Torchwood and SJA audio material previously released under the BBC's own audio labels. They retained the brand identity "BBC Audio" as an imprint.

They were thus the publishers of the Tom Baker audio range that began with Hornets' Nest, readings of Target Books novelisations, TV soundtracks of missing episodes, some original audio dramas (based upon Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures), and Doctor Who audio archive material (like the series of Doctor Who at the BBC releases) and documentaries.

After AudioGO's demise in 2013, Doctor Who audiobooks were again released by BBC Audio.

History

Previously, the branding BBC Radio Collection was used for release of radio dramas based upon the series: Exploration Earth, Slipback, The Paradise of Death and The Ghosts of N-Space. Also released under the banner — although technically inaccurately as they were never intended for radio — were edited TV soundtracks taken initially from episodes that had been deleted by the BBC but for which audio tracks survived (i.e. The Macra Terror and The Evil of the Daleks). The BBC Radio Collection also reissued the audio adaptation of Genesis of the Daleks. Beginning in 2004 the "BBC Radio Collection" branding was dropped, and releases for more recent stories have occurred, even those available on DVD, the most recent to date being an audio version of the 1984 story Warriors of the Deep.

Significant landmark releases included 2008's audio story Pest Control, which launched a series of original Doctor Who stories that continued through 2017, and the audio story Hornets' Nest, a five-part 2009 release that saw the return of Tom Baker to the role of the Fourth Doctor.

Administration and closing

AudioGO entered administration after significant cashflow issues were discovered in October 2013. The company suspended operations and effectively ceased trading, affecting many of the expected 50th anniversary releases.[1]

In January 2014, the front page of AudioGO's website was replaced by a notice that trading from the website had ceased. Customers were advised to download their purchased libraries from the site before it became entirely unavailable on 1 February 2014.

Since November 2014, BBC Physical Audio have released Doctor Who audiobooks.

Subsequent availability of AudioGO material

Rights to AudioGO's BBC-licenced content (including Doctor Who) for the UK and the rest of the world excluding North America, Australia and New Zealand, were transferred to Random House in December 2013. [2]

AudioGO's US titles were acquired by independent audiobook publisher Blackstone Audio, a company which had previously been acquired by AudioGO in January 2013 but sold back to its former owners in October of that year when AudioGo entered administration. Blackstone distributes the titles through its arms BlackstoneLibrary.com (for libraries) and Downpour.com (for consumers.) [3]

Rights to 5000 of AudioGO's non-BBC titles were sold to Amazon-owned audiobook vendor Audible.[4]

The Destiny of the Doctor series can be acquired through Big Finish Productions' website, either individually or as a box set collecting all the stories.
