The BBC really need to get the New Adventures back into print. The authors, rather than Virgin, hold the copyright on their text so legally it'd be as simple a matter as when they put some up as ebooks - phoning the authors and saying, "Excuse me? Would you like some money for no extra work?"

It'd fill the (agonising) gap in the market for Who books for adult readers, and there's obviously a demand for these books or otherwise people wouldn't be paying $60 for the rarest ones. Russell's often saying that his style of Doctor Who was born in these novels, so get him, Cornell, Moffat and the rest to write some new introductions to them and they'd fly off the shelves to both new fans and people who own the original editions.


I'm probably dreaming. But I never thought I'd live to see all the Doctor Who Magazine comic strips back in print in gorgeous omnibus editions, and yet by next spring all the Fourth Doctor, Fifth Doctor, Sixth Doctor and Eighth Doctor stories will be sitting happily on my bookshelf. So dreams can come true. heart


You're not the only one that fills in the adult reader's Doctor Who books, Sadly, I can only find mine in the local library, and there's an enormous deficiency for the amount of 6th Doctor stories.

It's just the irony of it all that gets me - NewWho owes its style and its writing pool to the legacy of the New Adventures, but its popularity has caused that legacy to be abandoned in print. crying


To be fair to your library though, there's an enormous deficiency for the amount of 6th Doctor novels that are much good. That first volume of his complete comic adventures really is the place to go for classic ColDoc. Well, that and (shockingly bringing us back on topic) the audios.

Lovely review of 100 in DWM this month that goes as far as to say that the nuances and enrichment that the audios have added to the Sixth Doctor is the most important thing Big Finish have contribued to Doctor Who. Hear hear. smile
