''' | '''AudioGo Ltd''' is a primarily digital audio publisher who purchased BBC Audiobooks in [[July]] [[2010]], thereby inheriting all ''[[Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Torchwood]]'' and ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures|SJA]]'' audio material previously released under the BBC's own audio labels. | ||
They are thus the publishers of the [[Tom Baker]] audio range that began with ''[[Hornets' Nest]]'', readings of [[Target Books (BBC Audio releases)|Target Books novelisations]], to [[Doctor Who TV Soundtrack Releases|TV soundtracks]] of [[missing episode]]s, some original audio dramas (based upon ''[[Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Torchwood]]'' and ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''), and ''Doctor Who'' audio archive material (like the series of ''[[Doctor Who at the BBC]]'' releases) and documentaries. | |||
In the company reorganisation since the takeover, they have retained the brand identity, "'''BBC Audio'''", as an imprint. | |||
==History== | |||
Previously, the branding "BBC Radio Collection" was used for release of radio dramas based upon the series: ''[[Exploration Earth]]'', ''[[Slipback]]'', ''[[The Paradise of Death]]'' and ''[[The Ghosts of N-Space (audio drama)|The Ghosts of N-Space]]''. Also released under the banner -- although technically incorrectly as they were never intended for radio -- were edited TV soundtracks taken initially from episodes that had been deleted by the BBC but for which audio tracks survived (i.e. ''[[The Macra Terror]]'' and ''[[The Evil of the Daleks]]''); in recent years similar releases have occurred for stories that do exist and even for some that have been released to DVD. The BBC Radio Collection also reissued the audio adaptation of ''[[Genesis of the Daleks]]''. | Previously, the branding "BBC Radio Collection" was used for release of radio dramas based upon the series: ''[[Exploration Earth]]'', ''[[Slipback]]'', ''[[The Paradise of Death]]'' and ''[[The Ghosts of N-Space (audio drama)|The Ghosts of N-Space]]''.
