Just about everyone in countries like the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia etc will have at least heard of the famous science Fiction series "Doctor who" from the BBC! With the return of the series in 2005 after a 15 year pause, Doctor Who is as popular as ever with episodes being shown on the international Sci-Fi channel and even on US television channels in addition to the BBC's transmissions!

The second longest running science Fiction series is Star Trek which started back in 1966, but does not currently have any new episodes being produced.
With the huge popularity of Doctor who, the BBC started producing Dr.
Who Audio books back in the mid seventies on cassette and LP.
The first releases were mostly soundtracks from the episodes with linking narration by the Drs.
But due to their popularity soon after episodes were written specifically for audio book release only, often narrated by past Drs.
of the series.
To add to this the BBC started making radio episodes, again with past Drs.
who had played in the series, these episodes were also made available in audio book format.
Also many of the lost episodes have been re done by their original Drs.
in the Audio book format making them finally available to the public once more.
Now the BBC Dr.
who audio book collection has over 50 titles all available in quality Digital format at a special reduced download price! The range spans all the way though the first Doctor right up until the present doctor, David Tennant.

Who Audio is that it gives us the freedom to listen to our favorite episodes anywhere we please with the use of the modern mp3 player.
Audiobooks help us to get more our of our increasingly busier days, as we can easily listen to them while doing other things like working out, house work, driving, and other activities that permit multitasking.
