Bernice Summerfield (Aka Benny)

Adventures in Print and Audio Adventures

Collecting these is an archaelogical quest in and of itself! Some of these books were just pain hard to find! At first Virgin publishing (having lost the rights to make Doctor Who books continued making books about Bernice. Then later (I guess sales dropped off) they cancled the series. It went into limbo for a while and then re-emerged as a series of audio adventures on Tape and CD and then later only on CD. Most of the first bunch were just re-hashings of slightly changed versions of the previously problished books, but later they became far mosre creative and had a variety of new stories to tell. Big Finish branched out into publishing as well and has made quite a few Bernice books of theri own. The latest one I got was a nice hard bound book with a nice slipcover too! I an now working on finishing the Virgin section. Should be up in a few months.

	1.6 Dragon's Wrath 2000 Adaped from the book by Single CD guest stars: Richard Franklin (I wish he would do some of the other Doctor Who adventures too! Suddently the nice double CD's vanish in favor of these 65-70 minute stories. "" Release Date: September 2000 / Recorded: 7 September 1999
	Burried Treasures This collectable was sent to people who bought all three of the Time Ring Trilogy CD's It contains 2 short Bernice stories Making Myths by Jac Rayner Closure by Paul Cornell It also features an extended interview with Paul Cornell as well as selected music from the first season and the New Adventures theme from the first season. One of the stories has the character of Keri the Pakhar in it as played by Sarah Mott! Single CD (Color Black no halftoned image) This title was most likely released before Dragon's Wrath, but since it has no number and no release date I am including it at the end of the first season.
	Doctor Who #13 Shadow of the Scourge Written by Paul Cornell Release Date: October 2000 / Recorded: 29/30 July 2000 This came as a surprise to me as I was collecting Doctor Who audio adventures. A 7th doctor story with Ace and Benny! i could not believe it at first. They story was intereting as well. Doctor Who uncovers evil at a knitting convention. Pertty well written but the evil nasties do tend to talk quite a bit. Other than that a very good romp! Nice to see all three of these great characters toegther!

Keep in mind that since I ahve not read all of the New Adventures books I have not actually heard andy of these CD's I have been collecting.
