| abstract | - Most of the people involved in BBV had been doing the AudioVisuals audio tapes or other forms of fan fiction, but now that Doctor Who was off the air and there was no chance of anyone suing them, they suddenly decided they wanted to make something that was actually kind of legal. They also had a side thing called Audio Adventures in Time & Space (which was the subtitle of the later AV seasons), which made audio plays. Their writers included Mark Gatiss, Robert Shearman, Nicholas Briggs, Lance Parkin, and Nigel Fairs, as well as Bill Baggs and a bunch of people who haven't heard of. Unfortunately, they used pseudonyms a lot, so it's not always easy to remember/figure out which one is Shearman's pseudonym and which one is Briggs's third pseudonym to decide which one you want to listen to. Eventually, Big Finish happened, most of BBV went over there, and BBV/AAiT&S started dying, but they kept it alive for a while by switching to producing other people's stories. I think the first one was a Rani sequel that Pip & Jane Baker wanted to write, and there's also a Faction Paradox line.
