The '''Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures''' were a series of novels that featured [[Bernice Summerfield]] and her "supporting cast". They were published by [[Virgin Books]] beginning in [[May (releases)|May]] [[1997 (releases)|1997]] as a continuation of their [[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]] line after the loss of their ''[[Doctor Who]]'' license. The line ended in [[October (releases)|October]] [[1999 (releases)|1999]].
{{Big toc}}
The '''New Adventures''' were a series of original, full-length ''[[Doctor Who]]'' novels published by [[Virgin Books]]. They continued the adventures of the [[Seventh Doctor]] after the TV story ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]''. As the books were geared for an older audience, they included mature themes, strong language, violence, and [[Sexuality|sexual elements]].


[[Big Finish Productions]] would later obtain the licence to these characters for their own line of [[Bernice Summerfield (series)|audios, novels and short fiction featuring Benny]] and her supporting cast. Several novels were adapted for audio in this series.
The book line changed its branding in [[1996]], relegating the ''Doctor Who'' logo to the spine and re-branding the series as "The New Adventures", with the publication of ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]''.
 
Following the broadcast of the [[1996 (releases)|1996]] [[Doctor Who (TV story)|TV movie]], [[BBC Books]] took over the license for publishing original ''Doctor Who'' fiction, although there was an overlap of more than a year to allow Virgin to publish its contracted novels until mid [[1997]]. After the [[Eighth Doctor]] novel ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'', the New Adventures continued with Bernice as the main character in the [[Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures]].
 
Virgin launched two spin-off lines following the initial success of the NA line: the [[Virgin Decalogs|Decalogs]], a series of five short story collections, and the [[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventures]], chronicling the adventures of the first six Doctors.
 
From [[1999 (releases)|1999]] onward, Big Finish adapted several novels for audio by Big Finish, either directly or altered to omit the Doctor and focus on Summerfield. In [[2007 (releases)|2007]], the New Adventures novel ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'' was adapted as the television episodes ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'' and ''[[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]''.
 
Although the continuity of the Virgin books were initially ignored by the BBC Books lines, this was eventually relaxed and references to New and Missing Adventures began to appear. In [[DWM 482]], [[Steven Moffat]] described the New Adventures as "a separate (and equally valid) continuity" to the [[BBC Wales]] television series.

== Notes ==
== Notes ==
* Though not considered part of the main series, the short story collection ''[[Decalog 5: Wonders]]'' included the first Bernice Summerfield short story, ''[[The Judgement of Solomon]]'' by [[Lawrence Miles]].
=== Continuity ===
* In [[Big Finish Productions]]' [[Bernice Summerfield (series)|''Bernice Summerfield'' series]], four Bernice Summerfield ''New Adventures'' were adapted into audio: ''[[Oh No It Isn't! (audio story)|Oh No It Isn't!]]'', ''[[Beyond the Sun (audio story)|Beyond the Sun]]'', ''[[Walking to Babylon (audio story)|Walking to Babylon]]'', and ''[[Dragons' Wrath (audio story)|Dragons' Wrath]]''.
* The New Adventures introduced a few new companions into the life of the Doctor: [[Bernice Summerfield]] (debuting in ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]''), [[Roz Forrester]] and [[Chris Cwej]] (debuting in ''[[Original Sin (novel)|Original Sin]]'') and [[Wolsey]] the [[cat]] (debuting in ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'').
* The book series initially used the same cover designs as that for the later ''Doctor Who'' New Adventures books; beginning with ''[[Another Girl, Another Planet (novel)|Another Girl, Another Planet]]'', a new cover design was introduced that removed the ''New Adventures'' identifier from the front cover and introduced a new title-lettering style.
* Ace was written out in ''Love and War'' and left the Doctor before reuniting with him in ''[[Deceit (novel)|Deceit]]''. During the intervening three years, she changed considerably. Ace left a second time, permanently, in ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]''. Ace's character development and departure were contradicted by later media.
* Apart from the novels, a few of the comics and audios take place specifically in the New Adventures continuity. These feature the Seventh Doctor, Bernice, and the older version of Ace.
* ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'' portrays the death (some years in the future, from the viewpoint of readers when the book first came out) of the [[Third Doctor]]'s companion, [[Liz Shaw]].
* Several novels of the New Adventures featured old foes from the TV series, including:
** ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]'' - The [[War Chief]]
** ''[[Iceberg (novel)|Iceberg]]'' - [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] and the [[Cyber-Controller]]
** ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'' - [[Silurian]]s and [[Sea Devil]]s
** ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]'' - [[The Monk]] and the [[Vardan]]s
** ''[[Blood Harvest (novel)|Blood Harvest]]'' - [[Great Vampire]]s
** ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'' - [[The Master]]
** ''[[Toy Soldiers (novel)|Toy Soldiers]]'' - [[Ogron]]s (cameo only)
** ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'' - [[Valeyard]] (illusion only)
** ''[[Shakedown (novel)|Shakedown]]'' - [[Sontaran]]s and the [[Rutan Host]]
** ''[[GodEngine (novel)|GodEngine]]'' - [[Dalek]]s (cameo only)
** ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'' - [[Ice Warrior]]s
* The New Adventures were linked in several major ways to Virgin's [[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventures]] line.
** A story strand which originated in ''Blood Harvest'' continued into the first Missing Adventure ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'' in an effort to get readers to buy both books.
** ''Shakedown'' and ''[[Lords of the Storm (novel)|Lords of the Storm]]'' both featured the [[Sontaran]]s in the same month.
** The Missing Adventure ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'' featured both the [[Fifth Doctor]] and the Seventh Doctor alongside [[Roz Forrester|Roz]], [[Chris Cwej]], and the Fifth Doctor's companions.
 
=== Adaptations ===
* The novel ''Shakedown'' was itself an adaptation of the [[Reeltime Pictures]] production ''[[Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans]]'', greatly expanded to include the Doctor.
* In [[Big Finish Productions]]' [[Bernice Summerfield (series)|''Bernice Summerfield'' series]], audio adaptations of ''[[Birthright (audio story)|Birthright]]'' and ''[[Just War (audio story)|Just War]]'' modified the novels to remove ''Doctor Who'' elements to which Big Finish did not yet have the rights.
* The novel ''Human Nature'' was adapted into the two-part story ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]''/''[[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]'' in [[Series 3 (Doctor Who)|Series 3]] of [[BBC Wales]]' ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
* ''Love and War'' was directly adapted by Big Finish into [[Love and War (audio story)|an audio drama]] in [[2012 (releases)|2012]]. This was followed by ''[[The Highest Science (audio story)|The Highest Science]]'', ''[[Damaged Goods (audio story)|Damaged Goods]]'', ''[[Theatre of War (audio story)|Theatre of War]]'', ''[[All-Consuming Fire (audio story)|All-Consuming Fire]]'' and ''[[Original Sin (audio story)|Original Sin]]''.
 
=== Production notes ===
* Following the broadcast of the [[1996 (releases)|1996]] [[Doctor Who (TV story)|TV movie]], [[BBC Books]] took over the license for publishing original ''Doctor Who'' fiction, but there was an overlap of more than a year to allow Virgin to publish its contracted novels. As a result, the book line changed its branding, the ''Doctor Who'' logo on the front cover and spine was removed beginning with the publication of [[Eternity Weeps (novel)|''Eternity Weeps'']].
* ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]'' was the final book to be published featuring the Doctor, but it was published out of narrative sequence due to delays preventing its completion. The death of a major character in that book was meant to be a surprise, but because of the production delay this was no longer possible, and the novel was adapted accordingly: its prologue began with the funeral for the character, and the event was made an intrinsic part of the narrative, rather than a shock conclusion.
