They can be contrasted with ranges like [[The Companion Chronicles]], which often have two or three actors playing multiple roles, and a much more limited foley track and score. Stories in these ranges feature a Doctor played by an actor who is no longer alive and have shorter runtimes. Or they might be little more than a dramatic reading by a single actor, as is sometimes the case with the [[Short Trips (series)#CD releases|Short Trips]] series. Because there are fewer cast members, non-full-cast audios almost always require a narrator — frequently necessitating that the story be told in the [[wikipedia:narration#Third person|third person from the perspective of a main character]]. | They can be contrasted with ranges like [[The Companion Chronicles]], which often have two or three actors playing multiple roles, and a much more limited foley track and score.
