History
In 2001, Paul McGann became involved with Big Finish Productions producing adventures as the Eighth Doctor, a role he originated in the 1996 TV movie Doctor Who, as part of their ongoing Main Range. However, in 2007, due to the popularity of several of these titles on BBC Radio 7 (now known as BBC Radio 4 Extra), the BBC partnered with Big Finish to produce a series called The Eighth Doctor Adventures for BBC Radio 7 beginning with Blood of the Daleks, co-starring Sheridan Smith as the Doctor's latest companion Lucie Miller and featuring a guest appearance from a then fairly unknown Hayley Atwell.[1] This range would go on for a further three seasons of stories, with Lucie initially departing in the 2009 Christmas special Death in Blackpool. The fourth season brought in Niky Wardley as the Doctor's new companion Tamsin Drew and reintroduced Carole Ann Ford as the Doctor's granddaughter Susan Foreman from the original television series, with Sheridan returning as Lucie later in the season. The range concluded in 2011 with the fourth season finale To the Death, which saw the deaths of both Lucie and Tamsin in a grim ending for the Doctor.
After the original end of The Eighth Doctor Adventures, November 2012 saw the return of the Eighth Doctor in a new boxset entitled Dark Eyes starring McGann alongside Ruth Bradley as new companion Molly O'Sullivan. The box set was a commercial success and won the BBC Audio Drama award for Best Online or Non-Broadcast Drama.[2] This led to the commission of three further box sets continuing the Dark Eyes saga starting in 2014, which starred McGann and Bradley and introduced a second companion in Liv Chenka, played by BAFTA TV Award nominated actress Nicola Walker. Due to Bradley's limited availability, Molly was written out at the end of the third volume, though the character returned once more in the fourth volume played by Sorcha Cusack.
Following the success of Dark Eyes, the multi-volume boxset format was used extensively, starting with the four-part saga Doom Coalition from 2015 to 2017. McGann and Walker reprised their roles as the Eighth Doctor and Liv Chenka respectively, and were joined by new companion Helen Sinclair, portrayed by Hattie Morahan. It also featured the return of Alex Kingston as River Song in a recurring capacity, marking the first time elements from the revived iteration of the parent series Doctor Who appeared. Doom Coalition was followed by two more four-part sagas starring McGann, Walker, and Morahan as the Doctor, Liv, and Helen, which were entitled Ravenous (2018–2019) and Stranded (2020–2022). The end of Stranded depicted Liv's departure from the TARDIS, though it left a narrative gap for more adventures with the trio in the future.
Alongside the box sets with Liv and Helen, in 2017 Big Finish Productions began a new strand of stories set much later in the Eighth Doctor's life at the onset of the Time War. The Eighth Doctor: The Time War, as it was called, served as a prequel to The War Doctor and drew from the depiction of the Eighth Doctor in the 2013 minisode "The Night of the Doctor", which had marked McGann's first reprisal of the role on television since 1996 and also mentioned audio companions Charley, Lucie, Tamsin, and Molly on screen for the first time.[3] The series starred McGann alongside Rakhee Thakrar as his companion Bliss, and ran for four volumes through 2020. Additionally, two one-off box sets were released which featured the return of Sheridan Smith as Lucie Miller in 2019 and India Fisher as Charlotte Pollard in 2022 and were each set during their original runs.
In May 2020, Big Finish announced the Main Range would conclude in March 2021 and subsequently replaced with regular releases of each Doctor's adventures continuing in their own respective ranges.[4][5] A previously released special title from 2003 and all the boxset series with the Eighth Doctor were united under the umbrella banner of The Eighth Doctor Adventures as part of this change. Two new standalone boxsets What Lies Inside? and Connections were announced for release in 2022, which featured the returns of McGann, Walker, and Morahan as the Doctor, Liv, and Helen.

Starting with Dark Eyes, Big Finish abandoned singular releases for the range and opted to move to Boxsets. During this era, It would heavily focus arcs and storylines that would play out across four boxsets. They would discontinue this format after Stranded and the end of The Monthly Adventures.

Part 1 : After a devastating encounter with the Daleks, the Doctor is searching for hope. At this delicate moment in his life, the Time Lords send him on an important mission. Tracking down a DNA trace, he arrives in World War I, where he finds a Voluntary Aid Detachment nursing assistant with unusually dark eyes named Molly O’Sullivan. Part 2 : The Doctor and Molly are on the run from the Daleks. They escape into the near future, World War II and then further to 1972, where a woman is waiting for him, following the instructions the Doctor hasn't yet given. Part 3 : Molly has enjoyed several adventures with the Doctor, but her past still haunts her. To discover the truth, they go back to an incident that occurred in 1893, when she was only two years old. Part 4 : The Doctor suddenly finds himself on planet Srangor, an innocent world conquered by the Daleks for a top secret plan that centers around Molly O'Sullivan. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
Part 1 : The human colony planet Nixyce VII falls under Dalek occupation. Medical technician Liv Chenka is used by the Dalek Time Controller to give medical care to the natives of Nixyce VII used as slaves by the Daleks. It was in that situation that she encountered the Eighth Doctor, which was actually the second time they met (as she had previously met the Seventh Doctor). After she was convinced of his identity, she helped him with his plans to turn the Daleks against a nearby fleet of the gaseous entity and psychic force known as the Eminence. Part 2 : In 1918, Molly O'Sullivan, now living in Baker Street in London, must join the Doctor once again when they have an encounter with the Viyrans. Part 3 : The Doctor and Molly travel to the edge of the universe and find the cryo-ship Orpheus, where they discover that Liv Chenka is among the ship's crew. As it turns out, Liv and several others escaped the Dalek invasion of Nixyce VII on board the ship, but she suffered severe radiation poisoning as a result, which condemned her to death. Because of this, she signed up as a med-tech on the ship and went into cryo-sleep. Shortly after the Doctor and Molly encounter Liv, the ship comes under attack by the Eminence, and it began to possess the crew. After defeating the Eminence, Molly and the Doctor were joined on their travels by Liv. Part 4 : The Doctor, Molly and Liv arrive back on Earth in the 1970s to investigate the Ides Institute. There, Molly and Liv help the Doctor defeat the Master, who is trying to gain control over the Eminence. After both the Master and the Eminence were defeated, the Doctor made Molly and Liv stay behind in Baker Street in London while he traveled to Nixyce VII to play out the events in which Liv first met him. One night, Molly is kidnapped by the Master and his assistant, Sally Armstrong. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Part 1 : Heron's world, Coloney Ro351. A defeated, desolate backwater world, a human settlement chewed up and spat out by the Enimence war. Now the survivors may face an even greater threat than the Infinite Armies that surround them. Because a man has appeared from nowhere and claims to offer salvation. A man with a magic travelling box, and a dark-eyed assistant named Molly O'Sullivan. Much more hangs on the fate of Hope Gardner than anyone around her knows. Because the Doctor is watching... Part 2 : Above the jungle world of Ramosa, the Eminence war is raging. Sensing the growing threat, the native Ramossans have risen up against the human colonists in their midst and regained control of their planet. While Sally Armstrong negotiates on behalf of her silent partner, Narvin sends in the Doctor and Liv Chenka to try to make a difference. But what is his true agenda? And can the Doctor really hope to save everyone on a world where humanity is despised? Part 3 : When the Doctor decides to stop a war, the last thing he expects is to be trapped aboard a doomed spaceship with his oldest friend – who just happens to also be his oldest enemy. The Master is just as surprised: this isn't part of his masterplan. Meanwhile, Liv and Sally tiptoe around a brilliant and dangerous man. Professor Markus Schriver is a genius in the field of teleportation and neural manipulation. Unfortunately, he is also insane. The clock is ticking, and not everyone can make it out alive... Part 4 : History tells us that humanity will win the war against the Eminence. That Grand Administrator Walter Vincent will welcome home the sons and daughters of fighting and starvation. The newscasters of Alliance Update will announce across the Ten Systems that planet Earth is open for business, its air purified and its people victorious. The Eminence will be no more. This is all a matter of historical fact. But the Doctor and the Master both know, history can be rewritten. Every line. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Part 1 : The Doctor and Liv return to post-World War I London, looking for Molly. The Doctor goes to see Kitty Donaldson, Molly's former employer, and experiences a disturbance in time. Liv strikes up a friendship with Kitty's brother, war veteran Martin, who seems to have a secret. In the meantime, a mysterious woman is hunting them down... Part 2 : The Doctor and Liv's ongoing investigations see them cross the channel and journey to Paris, where the doctor befriends Christian Favreau, a penniless artist, and the pair encounter the mysterious owner of a new nightclub, cross swords with criminals… and hear of a monster stalking the streets. Part 3 : Liv is disgusted to discover that the Master is working with the Daleks. The Daleks cause a new timeline, in which Molly is living in Moscow, 1961 under the name of Mary Carter. There, a Sontaran named Rastel orders her to look after the Doctor. She pretended to not recognise him at first, but this was a deception; and Liv subsequently blew her cover. Meanwhile, the Master wanted Molly to stabilise the timeline. Part 4 : The Dalek Time Controller takes Liv and Molly to the Eye of Orion to witness the birth of the Eminence, and to make Liv transfer his mind into the gas the Eminence were composed of, but she refused. Realizing that because of the retro-genitor particles she was still linked with the Time Controller, and that if either of them died they would both die, Molly sacrificed her own life so that the Time Controller could die, and she became part of the Eminence. She then used the Time Controller's link with the time vortex to send the Eminence to the end of the universe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
