'''''The Time Travellers''''' was an audio series featuring [[Sylvester McCoy]] as [[the Professor (Republica)|the Professor]] and [[Sophie Aldred]] as [[Ace (Republica)|Ace]]. It was released by [[BBV Productions]] between [[1998 (releases)|1998]] and [[2000 (releases)|2000]]. | |||
The series appealed to audiences by featuring McCoy and Aldred playing characters very similar to their roles in ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]]. Despite this apparent skirting of copyright, the series also licensed several ''[[Doctor Who]]'' concepts, beginning with its first episode, ''[[Republica (audio story)|Republica]]'', which was set in an [[alternate timeline (Republica)|alternate timeline]] from the [[1997 (releases)|1997]] [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures]] novel ''[[The Roundheads (novel)|The Roundheads]]''. Later stories such as ''[[Guest for the Night (audio story)|Guest for the Night]]'' mentioned characters like [[Truman Crouch]] and [[Posedor]] who had previously appeared in the [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel ''[[Deadfall (novel)|Deadfall]]''. | |||
As ''The Time Travellers'' continued, the main characters were differentiated further and further from their ''Doctor Who'' counterparts. By ''[[Ghosts (TT audio story)|Ghosts]]'', the seventh ''The Time Travellers'' audio and the first of ''[[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]]'' series 2, the characters were using the alternative names "the Dominie" and "Alice". Finally, in the [[2021 (releases)|2021]] [[Republica (novelisation)|novelisation of ''Republica'']], the Professor's ship was named as ''[[Cosmos (spacecraft)|Cosmos]]'', rooting the character in the public domain ''[[Doctor Omega (series)|Doctor Omega]]'' series. | |||
