These two things were developed and maintained to an extent from 1991 to 2003 by two long-running series of original adventures from Virgin Books and later BBC Books.
They took the Doctor and companions to places new and old, in both physical, mental and emotional terms, and many of the authors were first time writers.
With the arrival of twenty first century Who, however, I find that the current run of novels that accompany the series lack spark and imagination. In fact they're a pretty turgid and disappointing companion to the Doctor's on-screen adventures.
My attempts to find anything of interest online have also proved unsuccessful as I have no interest in reading about the return of the Ninth Doctor or what happened when the Doctor met Rose again.
So in time-honoured manner, I'm planning my own series of spin off stories set in the Doctor Who universe.
Stay tuned...
