After experimenting with audio for a few years BBV released their first audio drama in [[1998]] under the umbrella title [[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]] after which BBV began regularly releasing audios begining with a line of adventures called [[The Time Travellers (series)|The Time Travellers]] staring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred as [[Seventh Doctor|The Professor]] and [[Ace]] which closely resembled the characters they portrayed in the Doctor Who series even using the same companion name and the nickname for McCoy's incarnation of [[The Doctor]]. The resembalence was so close to that of the Doctor Who characters that the BBC eventually stepped in and by the time of the seventh audio drama a number of changes had been made. The main one being the change of the main characters to The Dominie and Alice. | After experimenting with audio for a few years BBV released their first audio drama in [[1998]] under the umbrella title [[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]] after which BBV began regularly releasing audios begining with a line of adventures called [[The Time Travellers (series)|The Time Travellers]] staring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred as [[Seventh Doctor|The Professor]] and [[Ace]] which closely resembled the characters they portrayed in the Doctor Who series even using the same companion name and the nickname for McCoy's incarnation of [[The Doctor]].

The first of the Audio Adventures in Time & Space that didn't feature Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred was a 2 story series called [[The Wanderer]] both of which featured [[Nicholas Briggs]] who played the character of a amnesic space traveller whom one of the other characters dubb's Fred after his pet goldfish. Briggs had previously played a version of the Doctor for the unlicensed fan audios made by [[Audio Visuals]]. | |||
BBV moved away from audio stories about characters that could be the doctor after the establishment of [[Big Finish]]'s officially licensed line of Doctor Who audio dramas and instead moved on to audios featuring characters from the Doctor Who universe such as Romana and K-9. Following the success of the Autons trilogy stand alone audios featuring alien races from doctor who licensed directly from the writers that created them and in some instances allowing the writers to author new stories featuring their characters for the audio drama's such as a story by [[Pip & Jane Baker]] explaining what happened to the [[Rani]] who was last seen in Doctor Who being abducted by a group of aliens. Also the series of stories by [[Lawrence Miles]] about his history-spanning terrorist organisation the [[Faction Paradox]]. | |||
