From vinyl to tape to CD to digital downloads, Doctor Who has been keeping the audiobooks shelves crammed with product since before the term audiobook was invented (and long since the shelves went mostly virtual).
In the early days there was the abridged “Genesis Of The Daleks” on LP. The cassette version of “State Of Decay” is probably gathering dust in many a loft (if it didn’t spill its entrails and throttle your tape player… ah, the ’80s). As fandom grew the BBC realised what a treasure trove it was sitting on, especially since some ’60s Doctor Who stories only now existed in audio format. Over the years BBC Audiobooks expanded its range to include readings of classic Target novelisations, readings of the new BBC Doctor Who books, even all-new audio stories and non-fiction.
In 2010 BBC Audiobooks morphed into AudioGO which continues to publish both the BBC Audiobook back catalogue and to produce new audiobooks and documentaries, such as the excellent Doctor Who At The BBC series of releases which collect together random Who -related interviews and TV appearances.
There are now over 220 different titles available across the following lines:
• TV soundtracks – The actual soundtracks from TV episodes
• Classic novels – Doctor Who stars reading classic era novelisations
• BBC Books – Doctor Who stars reading new series novels
• Audio Originals – all-new series created especially for the Audiobook range
• Radio Episodes – dramas that originally aired on BBC radio
• Features – documentaries
You can download a free sampler album with excerpts from a range of these title here .
