Dark Eyes, Doom Coalition and Ravenous consist of box sets of full-cast audio dramas featuring the Eighth Doctor with new companions Molly O'Sullivan, followed by Liv Chenka and, finally, Helen Sinclair voiced by Ruth Bradley, Nicola Walker and Hattie Morahan respectively. Several of the stories in these ranges received awards. Guest appearances included the Reborn Master, the Monk and River Song.
Where Nobody Knows Your Name — intentionally titled after the Cheers theme song — was an Eighth Doctor comic story set in a bar. More character study than adventure, it stressed the complexities of friendships between long-lived shape-shifters like the Doctor and his former companion, Frobisher.
Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror was a 1985 platform video game released for the BBC Micro and other gaming computers. The game featured the Sixth Doctor, traveling with a robotic cat companion named Splinx, attempting to stop the Tremas Master from disrupting the universe.
