The Early Adventures
The Early Adventures is a Doctor Who audio series produced by Big Finish Productions announced in February 2013 with the first release Domain of the Voord being released in September 2014.[1]
The Early Adventures continue telling stories from the first two Doctors that The Companion Chronicles began, although producer David Richardson describes the series as having a format closer to that of The Lost Stories "except here we have pushed the format to make these productions sound as much as possible like full cast drama".[2]
Some stories are performed with two of the original cast along with a cast sized similarly to the Doctor Who monthly range. The two original cast members perform and narrate characters such as the Doctor and other companions.
Others, however, are performed with three actors of the original cast, performing and narrating the Doctor and his companions.
The roles of Ben Jackson and, beginning with series three, Barbara Wright, were recast, as the original actors were deceased. Ben is voiced by Elliot Chapman and Barbara is voiced by Jemma Powell.
