The Dr. Who Sci-Fi Series And Doctor Who Audiobooks Serial: The History

If you have lived in 1 of the most important English speaking countries it would have been most likely very difficult for you to of not, at least, heard of the Sci-Fi legend Dr. Who! Now that DW is back on television since 2005 after it's 15yr absence the serial has gotten considerably well known all over again, so mush so in fact that even the sci-fi channel has taken an interest in the series.

Thanks to the new serial DW is now officially the longest running Science fiction serial ever with the 1st episode transmitted by the BBC on November the twenty third 1963, an episode in which the Doctor and his companions travelled back 100,000 years into Earth’s past to help out some somewhat unintelligent cavemen so that they could make the discovery of fire.

During the seventies the BBC expanded Doctor Who into the audio median making the 1st Dr Who Audio. When it all started the BBC solely made soundtracks from the original series and then had the Doctors of the time add some binding narration for completion. However due to their popularity soon after stories were made for Audio Book release only, often narrated by past Doctors of the TV series.

To add to this the BBC began making radio stories, again with past Drs who had played in the serial, these stories were also made available in Audio format. Another good use the BBC have found for audio with Doctor Who is the re-creation of old stories that had been lost. While I write this the BBC's Audiobook collection currently consists of over 50 . There exist Audios from the very 1st serial all the way up to the most recent show with David Tennent and even Sarah Jane and Doctor Who Torchwood Audio.

In today's world audio is even more popular than ever thanks to MP3 players. With multitasking becoming everyday more an important part of our lives it's not surprising that Audio Book sales for both Dr. Who and in general have increased. Another reason why folks like Dr. Who audio is because in many cases the audio stories are now read by the actors of the serial. Mothers and fathers also buy them for kids entertainment in cars etc.

The way things stand right now it looks like Doctor Who and its spin-off show torchwood and the Sarah Jane adventures are doing extremely well so things look good for us to be able to enjoy them for some years to come.
