Virgin New Adventures - Adaptations

Adaptations

Paul Cornell's 1995 novel, Human Nature, as noted above, formed the basis of a two-part episode of the television series broadcast in 2007. This was the first time a full-length original Doctor Who novel had been adapted for television, although Cornell (who also wrote the teleplay) had to make substantial changes to transform his Seventh Doctor novel into a story featuring the Tenth Doctor.

Big Finish Productions produced audio drama adaptations of the novels Birthright and Just War, altering them to remove the Doctor and focus on the character of Benny Summerfield. In October 2012 an adaptation of Benny's debut story, Love and War will be published with Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace.
