The Stranger was a series of six direct-to-video movies and four audio dramas produced by BBV. Although having no license to any DWU concepts, they were advertised as being set in it and had a number of cast and crew connections. Because of their lack of license, they are not valid sources on this Wiki.
History
The first three videos in the series featured Nicola Bryant as the Stranger's companion, "Miss Brown", obvious analogues to the Sixth Doctor and Peri. The second video, More Than a Messiah, was a remake of the Audio Visuals Doctor Who story of the same name.
Later on, the Stranger was given his own backstory and the identity of Solomon, the character of Miss Brown was dropped, and the series diverged from the Doctor Who universe.
Besides the presence of Baker and Bryant, the series also featured appearances by a number of other Doctor Who alumni, including Sophie Aldred, Michael Wisher, Louise Jameson and David Troughton. Nicholas Briggs wrote several of them, and co-starred in the third entry, In Memory Alone. Nigel Fairs contributed scripts for several of the stories, and also performed an acting role in More Than a Messiah.

Other
- The reference work Howe's Transcendental Toybox suggests the BBV film The Airzone Solution, which also stars Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant (the latter once again playing a character named Brown), is part of the series. Officially, however, The Airzone Solution is considered a standalone work with no connection to The Stranger or Doctor Who beyond the presence of common actors.
