Big Finish's licence with BBC Enterprises only allows them to use Copyrighted material from the "classic" ''Doctor Who'' series ( 1963 – 1989 and 1996 ), which means that their stories can only feature the first eight Doctors and their companions. There are also difficulties in using the Eighth Doctor 's companions Grace Holloway and Chang Lee as the copyright to these is own by Universal Television . At present, Big Finish cannot produce any material using the Ninth or Tenth Doctor s, and are similarly not allowed to include references to the new Russell T. Davies headed series in their works. THE BOOKS There are currently nineteen announced Big Finish ''Short Trips'' volumes. They are produced in a slightly different manner from the BBC ''Short Trips'' collections: instead of being centrally produced, Big Finish commissions editors for the volumes, who in turn commission stories from writers for the themed collections. Because of this, each volume is produced depending on the working methods of its editor – some editors commission stories on invitation from writers, whilst others welcome unsolicited submission of stories. Each collection is conceived around a single theme, with the individual stories exploring that theme. The published volumes are as follows: The collections have mixed established Doctor Who writers, such as Simon A. Forward , Dale Smith or Mark Michalowski , with writers new to ''Doctor Who''. Some of these new writers have subsequently gone on to become more well known in ''Doctor Who'' circles, such as Joseph Lidster and Simon Guerrier. EXTERNAL LINKS |
