BBC New Series Adventures novels

After 16 years off-air, Doctor Who finally returned to our TV screens in 2005, initially starring Christopher Eccleston as the ninth incarnation of the Doctor, followed by David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whittaker and currently Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor.

To tie in with the new series, BBC Books currently publish a series of spin-off books. Though rather than being novelisations of the new TV stories, these are all original novels. This series of novels don’t have any official overarching title, but fans generally refer to them as New Series Adventures, or NSAs for short.

However, they differ from the BBC’s previous 8th Doctor and past Doctor novels in a couple of ways: Mainly that they are being aimed at a family audience, much like the TV series itself. The BBC have pointed out that this doesn’t mean they are “kid’s” books, just that the novels will hold back from the occasional mature references which the previous novels have been able to include.

The 69 books in the range so far are listed below — a batch of 3 new hardback novels was originally published 2 or 3 times a year, however that rate slowed down over the years, and at one point had stopped completely — following one batch of three novels featuring the Thirteenth Doctor in 2018, no new novels appeared until 2024.

Note:

Many of these novels have been adapted into audio books, listed on the New series audiobooks page.
The publisher of these novels is officially speaking “BBC Books” although this is no longer owned by the BBC — since 2006, the BBC Books imprint has been majority-owned by Ebury Publishing, part of the Random House publishing empire.
