List of Virgin New Adventures Featuring the Doctor Notes: Featuring Bernice Summerfield The adventures of Bernice Summerfield continued in a series of novels and short story anthologies published by Big Finish Productions from 2000. Plot overview Recurring elements The New Adventures significantly expanded the Doctor Who universe. The character of the Doctor was recast as Time's Champion, which was sometimes interpreted figuratively and sometimes literally – Time, Death and Pain are occasionally seen as personified beings (possibly Eternals), who were worshipped as gods in Ancient Gallifrey. The Doctor was also shown to have a link to the Other, a figure from the time of Rassilon and Omega; the nature of this link was most explicitly shown in Lungbarrow.
