Autumn was a 2007 Big Finish full-cast audio short story, featuring the fifth Doctor and Nyssa. It was notable for being the story which explored Nyssa's first, tentative steps into the world of romantic love. It was further significant for being Big Finish's first foray into Stockbridge, England, a fictional hamlet that had been introduced in Doctor Who Magazine comic strips.

Notes
- This story is set in the recent past (relative to the publication date of 2007), and involves no science fictional elements other than the Doctor and Nyssa themselves. Thus it is technically a "pure historical" episode, however short the hop back in time is.
- According to a 20 November 2006 blog post, Paul Cornell wrote this story without the assistance of Mike Maddox.
Continuity
- Andrew's surname here is "Whitaker", but it mysteriously changes to "Harper" by BFA: The Eternal Summer.
- Though she falls in love with him quite uneasily, Nyssa is clearly implied to have had sex with Andrew.
Timeline
As with all fifth Doctor/Nyssa stories, this one broadly occurs between DW: Time-Flight and |Arc of Infinity. Within Big Finish continuity, this story likely occurs after BFA: The Game. It definitely occurs before BFA: Castle of Fear/The Eternal Summer. Within all stories, its position is a little less clear. One possibility is that it occurs after ST: The Church of Saint Sebastian and before: DWM: The Tides of Time. In other words, inasmuch as the fifth Doctor's adventures in Stockbridge are concerned, Autumn can plausibly be said to come first.
