'''Adventures in a Pocket Universe''' were two audio dramas released by [[BBV Productions]] under their [[Audio Adventures in Time and Space]] banner.
'''''Adventures in a Pocket Universe''''', also known as '''''The Mistress''''', was a series of audio dramas released by [[BBV Productions]] under their "[[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]]" banner. The two audio dramas featured [[John Leeson]] and [[Lalla Ward]] as [[K9 (The Choice)|K9]] and [[The Mistress (The Choice)|his Mistress]].


These two audio dramas, ''[[The Choice]]'' and ''[[The Search]]'', featured [[John Leeson]] as [[K9 (The Choice)|yet another version of K9]] and [[Lalla Ward]] as "[[the Mistress (The Choice)|the Mistress]]" (heavily implied to be [[Romana II]]) travelling through [[Ecto-Space]] (heavily implied to be [[E-Space]]). The series had to tread a very fine legal line, since their only license was derived from [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]], co-owners of the character of [[K9]]. Thus, almost every narrative element is either original to the series, or, like "the Mistress" and "Ecto-Space", a close but legally-distinct approximation of a televised concept.
The first two audio stories in the series, ''[[The Choice (audio story)|The Choice]]'' and ''[[The Search (audio story)|The Search]]'', were intended to form a sequel to ''[[Warriors' Gate (TV story)|Warriors' Gate]]'', in which [[Romana II]] and [[K9 Mark II|K9]] were left in [[E-Space]]. Though BBV Productions was able to secure the original actors for those two roles and the rights to [[K9]] from [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]], they had no rights to the character of Romana or the concept of [[E-Space]], so in the audios, [[K9 (The Choice)|K9]] instead travels with a woman known simply as "[[The Mistress (The Choice)|the Mistress]]" in [[Ecto-Space]].

[[Zoltán Déry]] also submitted a script for a third episode, ''[[The Liberator (audio story)|The Liberator]]'', to BBV. It was ultimately unproduced, but interested BBV sufficiently for them to commission an unrelated script from Déry which became ''[[The Green Man (audio story)|The Green Man]]''. ([[REF]]: ''[[Downtime – The Lost Years of Doctor Who]]'')
 
In [[April (releases)|April]] [[2022 (releases)|2022]], ''The Choice'' was novelised as part of the ''[[Novelisations in Time & Space]]'' range. However, due to the rights agreement for K9 apparently not having covered adaptions in other media, K9 was removed from the plot and the Mistress was instead given a new robotic companion, a female bionic ferret called [[B.E.S.]]. Notably, this release employed the series name ''The Mistress'' instead of ''Adventures in a Pocket Universe''. The original name was returned to the very next month for ''[[B.E.S. Begins (audio story)|B.E.S. Begins]]'', an audio release which related B.E.S.'s first meeting with the Mistress.
