The first of the Audio Adventures that didn't feature McCoy and Aldred was a two-story series called ''The Wanderer'', which featured [[Nicholas Briggs]] as an amnesiac space-traveller who one of the other characters dubs "Fred". Briggs had previously played the Doctor for unlicenced fan audios made by [[Audio Visuals]]; the ''Wanderer'' stories were a deliberate continuation of that series in all but name.<ref name="justyce-briggs">[http://www.justyce.org/nick-briggs-03-april-2000.html Nick Briggs interview, justyce.org, April 2000]</ref> | The first of the Audio Adventures that didn't feature McCoy and Aldred was a two-story series called ''The Wanderer'', which featured [[Nicholas Briggs]] as an amnesiac space-traveller who one of the other characters dubs "Fred".

BBV moved away from audio stories about characters that could be the Doctor after the establishment of [[Big Finish Productions]]' officially-licenced line of ''Doctor Who'' audio dramas, instead moving on to audios featuring other characters from the ''Who'' universe such as [[The Rani]] (licenced from her creators [[Pip and Jane Baker]]) as well as a thinly-veiled post-''[[Warriors' Gate]]'' [[Romana II]] (referred to only as "[[The Mistress (The Choice)|The Mistress]]" to avoid infringement) and [[K9 (The Choice)|K9]] (fully licenced from his creators [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]].) | BBV moved away from audio stories about characters that could be the Doctor after the establishment of [[Big Finish Productions]]' officially-licenced line of ''Doctor Who'' audio dramas, instead moving on to audios featuring other characters from the ''Who'' universe such as [[The Rani]] (licenced from her creators [[Pip and Jane Baker]]) as well as a thinly-veiled post-''[[Warriors' Gate]]'' [[Romana II]] (referred to only as "[[The Mistress (The Choice)|The Mistress]]" to avoid infringement) and [[K9 (The Choice)|K9]] (fully licenced from his creators [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]].) | ||
