Short Trips audio readings

Published in 1998, Short Trips was the first of three Doctor Who short story collections produced by BBC Books in the late 1990s. Following publication of that first volume, BBC Audio produced a companion audiobook, containing readings of several of the stories on cassette.

This remained a one-off for over a decade, until after Big Finish had acquired the licence for Doctor Who short fiction and decided to have a go, releasing 4 Short Trips CDs between 2010 and 2011. Instead of being readings of previously-published stories, the contents of these latter releases were exclusive to CD.

The series was clearly not a success, since it halted after four volumes. However, Big Finish did resume Short Trips audio releases in 2015 (a range which continues to the present day) — although these are only available as individual audio downloads, hence are not listed on this site since I don’t list download-only releases.

There is one exception to the latter — the 2015 download The Toy received a physical release on CD and hence is listed below. It was originally given away free as a subscriber exclusive for Hachette’s Doctor Who: The Complete History partwork, but subsequently offered for sale separately to the general public via the Hachette website.
