The Eighth Doctor Adventures (audio series)

The Eighth Doctor Adventures was an audio series produced by Big Finish Productions beginning in 2006. It starred the Eighth Doctor, played by Paul McGann, Lucie Miller, played by Sheridan Smith and Tamsin Drew, played by Niky Wardley.
The series was originally marketed as "The New Eighth Doctor Adventures", but Big Finish Productions had largely dropped the word "New" by the series' fourth and final series. However, this name remains in use by some fans in order to distinguish this series from the novel of the same name. The audios differed substantially in price and format from Big Finish's monthly line. On the Big Finish podcast, these stories were sometimes informally called "The Eighth Doctor and Lucie Adventures".
The series first debuted on BBC Radio 7 with the first part of Blood of the Daleks on 31 December 2006. Each episode of the first season was broadcast alongside a 10 minute making of entitled Beyond the Vortex. However, the second, third and fourth series debuted on CD prior to their radio broadcasts, carrying over to Radio 7's rebranded successor, BBC Radio 4 Extra.
For the third series, Big Finish introduced a unique release method. The series format changed to a series of 16 25 minute episodes as opposed to 50 minute episodes. In absence of a 2009 TV series, a new episode was released as a download every Saturday evening on a weekly basis, and subscribers would be able to receive the physical CD upon release. However, this release method did not carry over to the fourth season. In the case of the third season, its radio broadcast was heavily condensed and only stories which did not feature returning monsters (Orbis, The Beast of Orlok, The Scapegoat and The Cannibalists) were presented in edited forms.
The first four series were notable for driving the Eighth Doctor towards the darker personality as seen in Dark Eyes onwards. Additionally, it introduced a third variation on the Eighth Doctor's theme tune composed by Nicholas Briggs, although the David Arnold arrangement was used during the first series.

=== Ravenous ===
First announced on 9 January 2018, the series mainly dealt with the Ravenous, an ancient species which struck fear on the Time Lords. Despite the Ravenous being a common theme on all anthologies, producer David Richardson considered the series to be "somewhat looser in structure than Doom Coalition".
Like on Doom Coalition, Mark Bonnar guest-starred as the Eleven, although he was no longer the series' main antagonist. In fact, in Ravenous 3, the Time Lord joined the TARDIS crew, allying himself with the Doctor once he realised that he couldn't defend himself from the Ravenous alone.
