Dramatization
Originally a subplot in the Eighth Doctor Adventures, the War involves several characters and concepts evolved from the original Doctor Who set-up. In several cases, the Faction Paradox series still features these groups, albeit with names changed for reasons both literary (most of the groups or items mentioned are described from different perspectives) and legal (the Faction and the Enemy are Miles’s creations, but other elements are not — thus the Great Houses are the Faction Paradox range’s equivalent to Doctor Who’s Time Lords). Faction Paradox themselves are not the enemy in this War, and play a neutral part, willing to act against both sides in their own interests. Lawrence Miles has described them as “a ritualistic time-travelling guerrilla organisation”.
The semi-mythical founder of Faction Paradox is Grandfather Paradox, named after the grandfather paradox of time travel theory. Originally a member of the Great Houses himself, the Grandfather created a new group after he became frustrated with the ways of the Great Houses. Faction Paradox therefore takes a good deal of pleasure in irritating the Great Houses, and many of their traditions and rituals are aligned in direct opposition to the way the Great Houses do things. Their time machines are bigger on the inside, in much the same way as TARDISes are, and the familial titles its members use (eg “Father”, “Cousin”) reference family units which the Great Houses lost when they became sterile.
Faction Paradox also take a perverse pride in causing time paradoxes (something that is against the laws of the Great Houses) and achieving impossible or absurd effects for their own sake. For instance, they typically wear ritual skull masks which are in fact the skulls of vampirised members of the Great Houses who, in the Great Houses’ version of history, never existed. Their stronghold on Earth exists in a version of London, within what they call “The Eleven-Day Empire”, bought from the British government in 1752. In that year, the British Empire first adopted the Gregorian calendar, and in so doing had to correct their dating scheme by 11 days (2 September 1752 being followed by 14 September 1752). Faction Paradox claimed the missing 11 days as their base (building on the illogicality that only the numbering scheme changed and no days were actually “missing”).

Please use the “Doctor Who” category for books related to that.
(Key words are different — and should not simply duplicate categories.)

Gweilo, I’m not sure if you are saying this torrent should or should not include “Doctor Who” as a tag, but it clearly should include that tag. Faction Paradox are stories within the Doctor Who universe, first introduced in a series of novels starring the Eighth Doctor.
Thanks to WhiteWolf for sharing these odd and wonderful stories.

What does BBV stand for??
THANKS for all the uploads this weekend.
January 6th, 2019
Yes, thanks WhiteWolf, and shush Gweilo.
@AliceMarie - it stands for “Bill & Ben Video”, named for the company’s owner Bill Baggs and his wife. BBV was (maybe still is, not sure about that) a company specialising in unofficial Doctor Who spin-offs, and the occasional licensed thing - they did a low budget film with the Yeti and the Brigadier, for example. Just before Big Finish began they started doing audio plays on CD, some of which trod VERY dangerous copyright ground. They had Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred playing “The Professor and Ace”, for example. No Tardis, no mention of the word “Doctor”, but still very clear what was going on. Mark Gatiss wrote some of them and Nick Briggs was in some of them. Baggs moved in all the same circles as the Big Finish people. But my understanding is that Big Finish were only granted the Doctor Who licence as long as Baggs wasn’t involved. He sort of got himself banned by pushing his luck.

Kruppe, why are you saying “shush”? Are these Doctor Who stories that should have been categorized as Doctor Who when uploaded? Yes? Easy.
Thanks a ton, Whitewolf225! These will add very nicely to my collection. :)

Technically a spinoff, they are unrelated to Doctor Who now in the sense that it could be defined as an alternate reality/timeline. I changed the tag just after Gweilo’s comment but before the rest. I’m happy people are enjoying these, they are very good, and I enjoyed sharing them.
January 7th, 2019
My apologies - I misunderstood Gweilo’s post and thought he/she was complaining about these BEING categorised as Doctor Who. My mistake. Sorry, Gweilo. Carry on.

Tardis.Wikipedia.org says that Faction Paradox is NOT considered canonical in the Doctor Who universe. In fact, they had to change a huge amount of things in the audios to get them under the radar of the BBC, who was already peeved with BBC for releasing the un-canonical works of Ben and Bev’s (her name was Bev, and not giving the female half equal credit is just so typically male-centric!)
I don’t really care, as I think that Blake’s 7 should be in the Whoverse given the connection between the two, the obvious fact that Iago was and is Kerr Avon through and through, and that Kaldor City is actually considered canonical based on being in a Doctor Who episode that happens to be the third best classical Who episode EVERY!
Anyway…it wasn’t Bill and his wife…It was Bill and Bev who uploaded the fanfictions that later became canonical Who, even in the eyes of the BBC! LOL! It must be said that the BBC, who won’t accept Big Finish as canonical (officially, still!) doesn’t have a lot to say about what is canonical and what isn’t. I mean, if all the silly TV episodes made before the Lunar Landing in 1969 are considered canonical, we run into some major problems. And, as much as I love Peter Davison and Colin Baker, they simply do not sound at all like their younger selves but far BETTER. (Tom Baker sounds today like he did 40 years ago at age 84…the old goat will probably outlive all of us!).
Anyway…just my two cents. Bill and Bev’s video…not Bill’s “wife”. She had a name, and it was Bev. They together sheltered the illicit BBV adventures!
