Autumn (audio story)

 was a 2007 Big Finish Productions full-cast audio short story, featuring the fifth Doctor and Nyssa. It was notable for being the story which explored Nyssa's first, tentative steps into the world of romantic love. It was further significant for being Big Finish's first foray into Stockbridge, England, a fictional hamlet that had been introduced in Doctor Who Magazine comic strips.

Publisher's summary

Timeline
As with all fifth Doctor/Nyssa stories, this one broadly occurs between DW: Time-Flight and Arc of Infinity. Within Big Finish continuity, this story likely occurs after BFA: The Game. It definitely occurs before BFA: Castle of Fear/The Eternal Summer. Within all stories, its position is a little less clear. One possibility is that it occurs after ST: The Church of Saint Sebastian and before: DWM: The Tides of Time. In other words, inasmuch as the fifth Doctor's adventures in Stockbridge are concerned, Autumn can plausibly be said to come first.
