Notes[]

  • Volume One featured the Eighth Doctor facing the Sontarans as the "new" monster, despite them being a classic series creation that debuted in The Time Warrior in 1973. This was justified by having the Sontarans in The Sontaran Ordeal being a clone batch from the era of the Last Great Time War. The front cover uses the 2008 design from the Sontarans' reintroduction in The Sontaran Stratagem and The Poison Sky in Series 4.
  • Subsequent volumes of the range have the Eighth Doctor facing an enemy already faced by a previous Doctor in an earlier story of the same box set.

Other stories[]

Big Finish also released a number of stories in which a classic-era Doctor encounters a revived-era alien as part of other ranges. Although not part of Classic Doctors, New Monsters, they utilise the same concept.

The same concept is also used in other media not produced by Big Finish, notably in anthology short stories like A Comedy of Terrors where the Second Doctor faces a Raxacoricofallapatorian, and Red Planet where the Fourth Doctor faces the Sycorax. Prior to Classic Doctors, New Monsters, the comic stories The Forgotten and A Rare Gem featured an encounter between the Judoon and the Fifth and Fourth Doctors respectively.
