told Doctor Who Magazine. "This led to various Granada folk reading Damaged Goods and suggesting that the Mrs Jericho story would make a good thriller in its own right. It would have stripped out all the sci-fi stuff — including the Doctor, obviously! — and been cut back to just the story of the twins separated at birth... I think the treatment was called The Mother War. Nothing happened with that because I was just too busy on The Grand." In July 2014, it was announced that Big Finish Productions were to produce an audio drama adaptation of Damaged Goods, as part of their official range of Doctor Who audio dramas licensed by the BBC. The adaptation was scripted by Jonathan Morris and produced by David Richardson, whose TV Zone'' interview with Davies in 1995 had in part led to the original book being commissioned by Virgin in the first place. As in the original television series, the role of the Seventh Doctor was played by Sylvester McCoy. The Doctor's companions in the novel, Roz and Chris, were played by Yasmin Bannerman and Travis Oliver, with Michelle Collins as Winnie Tyler and Denise Black as Eva Jericho. The adaptation included additional references to elements from the revived television series, such as the Last Great Time War and the Torchwood Institute, both of which were devised by Davies after the original novel's release.
