Original novels
 

Original Doctor Who fiction novels and novellas, i.e. not based on TV episodes.

Prior to the 1990s, only a handful of such books existed (the bulk of Who fiction being TV novelisations) but starting with the launch of the New Adventures in 1991 — coupled with the lack of new TV stories to novelise in the 1990s — original novels expanded vastly in number and remain so today.

  

Original novels listed by range:

BBC New Series Adventures novels
A range of tie-in novels to accompany the new Doctor Who TV series, currently starring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor.

Between 1997 and 2005, the BBC also published a regular series of “past Doctor” novels, featuring all-new non-televised adventures of the first 7 Doctors.

New Adventures novels
Virgin’s groundbreaking and much-missed series of non-televised novels, published in the 1990s and starring (mostly) the Seventh Doctor.
