-The '''New Adventures''' was a novel series published by the eponymous imprint of [[Virgin Books]].
+The '''''New Adventures''''', often called the '''Virgin ''New Adventures''''' in fan parlance, were a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' novel series published by the eponymous imprint of [[Virgin Books]] in the aftermath of the TV series' cancellation, continuing the adventures of the [[Seventh Doctor]] — hence the name.
-The first book, published in [[1991 (releases)|1991]], continued the adventures of the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] where the television story ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'' left off; later instalments introduced new [[companion]]s like [[Bernice Summerfield]], who became the range's main protagonist in [[1997 (releases)|1997]] when Virgin lost the licence for ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fiction. As the New Adventures were geared for an older audience than the TV show, they included mature themes, strong language, violence, and [[Sexuality|sexual elements]].
+The first book, published in [[1991 (releases)|1991]], picked up the Doctor and [[Ace]] where the television story ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'' had left off; later instalments introduced new [[companion]]s like [[Bernice Summerfield]], who became the range's main protagonist in [[1997 (releases)|1997]] when Virgin lost the licence for ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fiction. As the New Adventures were geared for an older audience than the TV show, they included mature themes, strong language, violence, and [[Sexuality|sexual elements]].
 Virgin Books launched two spin-off lines following the initial success of the New Adventures: the [[Virgin Decalogs|Decalogs]], a series of short story collections; and the [[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventures]], a novel range that told new stories with the first six Doctors.
