== Audio == After a few early experiments, BBV began regularly releasing audio dramas on CD in 1998, under the umbrella title ''Audio Adventures in Time & Space''. The initial mainstay of the CD line was a series starring [[Sylvester McCoy]] and [[Sophie Aldred]] (the Doctor/companion team from the 1987, 1988 and 1989 seasons of ''Doctor Who'') as a pair of wanderers in time and space named "The Professor" (McCoy) and "Ace" (Aldred) who so closely resembled the characters McCoy and Aldred had played on ''Doctor Who'' β even addressing each other by the same nicknames β that the BBC stepped in and their seventh outing, ''Ghosts'', consequently introduced a number of changes to the characters that made the resemblance somewhat less close, the main one being that the protagonists were now called "The Dominie" (McCoy) and "Alice" (Aldred). The first of the ''Audio Adventures in Time & Space'' not to include the McCoy/Aldred double act was ''Cyber-Hunt'', the first BBV production concerning the Cyberons. A further ''Who''-ish note was added by the introduction of an amnesic space traveler played by [[Nicholas Briggs]], who some years earlier had played the Doctor in the [[Audio Visuals]] series of unlicensed fan audios. (He was dubbed "Fred" by one of the other characters after her pet [[goldfish]]). BBV moved away from characters-who-might-be-the-Doctor (a field that, in any case, lost some of its appeal for fan audiences once [[Big Finish Productions]] began producing officially licensed ''Doctor Who'' audio dramas with the original actors reprising their incarnation of the character) and, following the success of the Auton trilogy, focussed more on stand-alone dramas about various ''Doctor Who'' alien races, licensed directly from the writers who created them. For some of those writers, the BBV audios have offered a chance to revisit their creations: for instance, the range includes a story by Pip and Jane Baker explaining what happened to the [[Rani (Doctor Who)|Rani]] (last seen in ''Doctor Who'' being abducted by a group of aliens that were also created by the writing pair), and a series of stories by [[Lawrence Miles]] about his history-spanning terrorist organisation [[Faction Paradox]]. In 2002, BBV announced that they would not produce any more audio CDs, but would instead concentrate on their new DVD releases. In 2022 BBV announced physical collections of their audio productions would be produced.
