* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' -- At least two hundred original novels, filling the [[Expanded Universe|expanded]] branch of the [[Whoniverse]] during the 16-year hiatus in between the series' cancellation in 1989 and its dramatic [[Un CancelledUncancelled|uncancellation]] in 2005, and continuing after the series' return, first from Virgin Books ([[Virgin New Adventures]]) and later from BBC Books ([[Eighth Doctor Adventures]]). Both publishers produced ongoing adventures for the 'incumbent' Doctor of the time (the Seventh Doctor and onwards), as well as "Missing Adventures" ([[Virgin Missing Adventures]] for Virgin, [[Past Doctor Adventures]] for BBC Books) squeezed into gaps in the previous Doctors' timelines. [[Promoted Fanboy|Some of the writers]] ended up [[Running the Asylum|working on the 2005 revival television series]].
** A [[Doctor Who Novelisations|long series of novelisations]] preceded the original novels, of almost all the stories broadcast in the show's 26-year first run. They ranged in size from about 120 pages (for a two-parter) to about 400 pages (for a six-parter), which meant that a lot either got cut out, or should have been<ref>although the novelisations of '[[Doctor Who/Recap/S26 E2 Ghost Light|Ghost Light]]' and '[[Doctor Who/Recap/S26 E3 The Curse of Fenric|The Curse Of Fenric]]' really [[All There in the Manual|help with understanding]] the complex broadcast versions</ref>.
* ''[[Torchwood]]'' has a number of them. The stories range from the reasonably logical to the ridiculous, and deal with every trope you can possibly thing of from [[Not Using the Z Word|zombies]], to [[Invisibility|the Invisible Man routine]], to [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|card games being serious business]], to [[Gender Bender|Gender Bending]].
