BBC New Series Adventures

The BBC New Series Adventures is a banner under which the series of novels published by BBC Books featuring the Ninth and Tenth Doctors are collected.

Ninth Doctor
These novels are a series published by BBC Books and are stories featuring the Ninth Doctor. With the revival of the television series, BBC Books ended the Eighth Doctor Adventures line to print the Ninth Doctor Adventures.

The are the only spin-off books to have had content referenced from them in the series as in the episode Boom Town, Rose makes a reference to her and the Doctor's trip to the Justicia system. This took place in The Monsters Inside. The first three novels also contain Bad Wolf references in common with the 2005 television series, and Winner Takes All also features the recurring characters Mickey Smith and Jackie Tyler.

The first three novels probably take place between World War Three and The Empty Child, and the latter three (which feature Captain Jack) between The Doctor Dances and Boom Town. They can be read in any order.

This line of novels continued to be issued following Christopher Eccleston's departure from the series until the end of 2005, after which the series continued, featuring the Tenth Doctor in 2006.

After that, other popular actors replaced Tennant, who did not reappear as narrator until the made-for-audio stories.

The Tenth Doctor also appears in The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, a release in the BBC The Sarah Jane Adventures novelisations line. Although the cover art matches the format of the NSA line, the book, published by Penguin Character Books, is not considered part of the New Series Adventures.
