The Doctor had a variety of different and contradictory origins. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'', ''[[Celestial Intervention - A Gallifreyan Noir (short story)|Celestial Intervention - A Gallifreyan Noir]]'') Throughout his life, his past was rewritten by groups and individuals including [[Faction Paradox]], [[Rassilon]], and [[the Enemy]].

The '''New Adventures''' was a novel series published by the eponymous imprint of [[Virgin Books]]. The first book, published in [[1991 (releases)|1991]], continued the adventures of the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] after the TV story ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]''; later installments introduced new [[companion]]s like [[Bernice Summerfield]], who became the range's main protagonist in [[1997 (releases)|1997]] when Virgin lost the license for ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fiction. As the New Adventures were geared for an older audience than the TV show, they included mature themes, strong language, violence, and [[Sexuality|sexual elements]].


Virgin Books launched two spin-off lines following the initial success of the New Adventures: the [[Virgin Decalogs|Decalogs]], a series of short story collections; and the [[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventures]], a novel range that told new stories with the first six Doctors.
=== Species ===
By some early accounts, the Doctor was a [[human]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)|Doctor Who and the Daleks]]'', [[TV]]: "[[The Chase (TV story)|Journey into Terror]]", {{source}}, et al.) from the [[49th century]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'')


The New Adventures concluded with ''[[Twilight of the Gods (BNA novel)|Twilight of the Gods]]'' in [[December (releases)|December]] [[1999 (releases)|1999]], but [[Big Finish Productions]] obtained the licence for the later New Adventures characters and continued telling stories with Bernice Summerfield, [[Jason Kane]], and [[Irving Braxiatel]] in their own line of [[Bernice Summerfield (series)|audios, novels, and short stories]].
However, according to the vast majority of accounts, the Doctor was a [[Time Lord]] from the planet [[Gallifrey]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'', ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'', {{source}} et al.) By some of these accounts, both [[the Doctor's mother|mother]] and [[the Doctor's father|his father]] were Time Lords.{{source}} By others, he was half-Time Lord and half-human, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'', et al.) born to a human mother, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'', et al.) [[Penelope Gate|Penelope]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]'', ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'') and a Time Lord father, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Grimm Reality (novel)|Grimm Reality]]'', et al.) [[Ulysses]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]'', ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'', ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'') By still others, he was [[Loom]]ed to the [[House of Lungbarrow]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible]]'', ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'')


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 into the television episodes ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'' and ''[[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]''.
[[Post-War universe|After the end]] of the [[War in Heaven]], following the erasure of the Time Lords from [[history]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]'', ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'') the Doctor was originally [[Soul (Sometime Never...)|Soul]], a member of the [[Council of Eight]], who suffered [[amnesia]] and, after the two landed the ''[[Jonah (ship)|Jonah]]'' in a [[junkyard]] in [[London]], [[1963]], believed that [[Zezanne]] was his [[granddaughter]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sometime Never... (novel)|Sometime Never...]]'')


Although several authors initially attempted to separate the Virgin Books and BBC Books continuities, the separation was eventually relaxed, and references to New and Missing Adventures began to appear in the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures|Eighth Doctor]] and [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures|Past Doctor Adventures]]. In [[DWM 482]], [[Steven Moffat]] said that he considered the New Adventures to be "a separate (and equally valid) continuity" to the [[BBC Wales]] television series.
In the [[Obverse]], the Doctor's mother was a [[mermaid]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blue Angel (novel)|The Blue Angel]]'')


== Stories ==
The [[Eighth Doctor]] was often confused as to whether he was Loomed or born to parents, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'', ''[[The Shadows of Avalon (novel)|The Shadows of Avalon]]'') sometimes remembering both at the same time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]'', ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'')

''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'' was the final New Adventures novel to feature [[the Doctor]], although ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]'' was released out-of-order and published last. ''The Dying Days'' reintroduced [[Bernice Summerfield]] and the settings that would predominate the later New Adventures; its afterword specified that the following novels belonged to a separate series of "''new'' New Adventures", although they were published under the same imprint, logo, and name.

== Notes ==
=== Past lives ===
=== Continuity ===
According to most accounts, the Doctor's trip with his [[granddaughter]] [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] to a [[junkyard]] in [[London]], [[1963]], occurred before his first [[regeneration]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'', et al.)
* 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]]''), [[Wolsey]] the [[cat]] (debuting in ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]''), and [[Roz Forrester]] and [[Chris Cwej]] (debuting in ''[[Original Sin (novel)|Original Sin]]'').
* Ace was written out in ''[[Love and War (novel)|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, some ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comics take place specifically in the New Adventures continuity. These feature the Seventh Doctor, Bernice, and the older version of Ace; their places in the New Adventures timeline were described in the 1993 article "[[Interweaving with the New Adventures]]".
* ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'' portrays the future death of [[Liz Shaw]].
* The novels ''[[Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible]]'', ''[[Transit (novel)|Transit]]'', ''[[The Pit (novel)|The Pit]]'', ''[[Iceberg (novel)|Iceberg]]'', and ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'' were adapted from rejected episodes for either the Sixth or Seventh Doctor.
* Several novels of the New Adventures featured old foes from [[Doctor Who|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
** ''[[Dead Romance (novel)|Dead Romance]]'' – [[Dalek]]s (cameo only)
* The New Adventures were majorly linked to Virgin's [[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventures]] and [[Virgin Decalogs|Decalog]] lines.
** A story strand which originated in ''[[Blood Harvest (novel)|Blood Harvest]]'' continued into the first Missing Adventures novel ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'' in an effort to get readers to buy both books.
** ''[[Shakedown (novel)|Shakedown]]'' and ''[[Lords of the Storm (novel)|Lords of the Storm]]'' both featured the [[Sontaran]]s in the same month.
** The Missing Adventures novel ''[[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.
** ''[[Decalog 4: Re:Generations]]'' tells stories about the family of Roz Forrester, introduced in a New Adventures novel. The short story collection ''[[Decalog 5: Wonders]]'' includes the first Bernice Summerfield short story, ''[[The Judgement of Solomon (short story)|The Judgement of Solomon]]'' by [[Lawrence Miles]].


=== Adaptations ===
However, by some accounts, the Doctor [[regeneration|regenerated]] many times before he went with [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] to the junkyard in London, 1963. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Brain of Morbius (TV story)|The Brain of Morbius]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'', ''[[The Power of the Daleks (novelisation)|The Power of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Something at the Door (short story)|Something at the Door]]'', ''[[Doctor Who and the Brain of Morbius (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Brain of Morbius]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (audio story)|Cold Fusion]]'') A renowned explorer, he lived in the [[House of Blyledge]] with his wife [[Patience (Cold Fusion)|Patience]]. They had thirteen children together, although they were killed in a government culling of the [[womb]]-born; the Doctor barely escaped with his newborn granddaughter in a [[the Doctor's TARDIS|stolen TARDIS]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'')
* The novel ''[[Shakedown (novel)|Shakedown]]'' was itself an adaptation of the [[Reeltime Pictures]] production ''[[Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans (home video)|Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans]]'', greatly expanded to include the Doctor.
* In [[Big Finish Productions]]' ''[[Bernice Summerfield (series)|Bernice Summerfield]]'' series, six 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]]'', ''[[Birthright (audio story)|Birthright]]'', ''[[Just War (audio story)|Just War]]'', and ''[[Dragons' Wrath (audio story)|Dragons' Wrath]]''. ''Birthright'' and ''Just War'' were modified to remove ''Doctor Who'' elements to which Big Finish did not yet have the rights.
* The novel ''[[Human Nature (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 (novel)|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]]'', ''[[Original Sin (audio story)|Original Sin]]'', and ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]''.


=== Production notes ===
Additionally, some accounts said that the Doctor's [[biodata]] included memories from a [[Triumvirate|founder]] of Time Lord society called "[[the Other]]". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', et al.)
* ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]'' was the final New Adventures novel 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.
* 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 removed beginning with the publication of ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]''.
* The cover design changed again with ''[[Another Girl, Another Planet (novel)|Another Girl, Another Planet]]'', which removed the "New Adventures" identifier from the front cover and introduced a new title-lettering style.

By one account, the Doctor had these memories because, after the Other committed [[suicide]] by throwing himself into the [[Prime Distributor]] for the Looms, he was reincarnated as the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') According to other accounts, the Other was instead just an [[The Doctor's aliases|alias]] used by the Doctor when he travelled back in time to influence [[Rassilon]] in early [[Gallifreyan history]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scrolls of Rassilon (short story)|The Scrolls of Rassilon]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')

The [[Fifth Doctor|Fifth]] and [[Sixth|Sixth Doctors]] had only vague memories of their life from before what they remembered to be their [[Third Doctor|second regeneration]]; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[The World Shapers (comic story)|The World Shapers]]'') further back, great chunks were missing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'') The [[Eleventh Doctor]] was sure that he had regenerated only twelve times.
