The character of Professor Bernice Summerfield — a hard-drinking, wise-cracking archaeologist — originally appeared as a companion to the Doctor in the 1992 New Adventure novel Love and War by Paul Cornell. Bernice (Benny to her friends) proved an immediate hit with fans, and went on to appear in over 60 subsequent New Adventures, eventually becoming the star of the books after Virgin lost the rights to publish Doctor Who fiction in 1997.
Capitalising on the character's popularity, Big Finish, producers of the BBC-licenced New Audio Adventures, started releasing a series of audio adventures starring Bernice in 1998. The initial half-dozen titles were all dramatisations of previously published New Adventures, but (for copyright reasons) omitting the Doctor and all trappings of the programme. More recent releases have been completely original stories, the only constant being Ms. Summerfield herself.
Bernice also stars in her own range of original novels. For more information on these continuing series, visit the official Big Finish website at www.bigfinish.com.
