Bernice Summerfield first appeared in Paul Cornell's
Love and War, a novel in
Virgin Publishing's
New Adventures range of original
Doctor Who books. When the company lost the licence to produce
Doctor Who fiction in 1997, it was decided that
Benny would be made the lead character.
The
New Adventures ceased publication in December 1999, but
Benny was revived the following year in a series of original novel and audio dramas from
Big Finish Productions.
A number of anthologies and collections of original novellas have also been released by the company.
