The Missing Adventures were succeeded by the [[Past Doctor Adventures]], published by BBC Books.
{{tropelist}}
* [[BBC Quarry]]: Lampshaded in ''The Shadow of Weng-Chiang'', in which the Doctor finds himself in an actual quarry and remarks that it reminds him of several alien planets he's visited.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Taking advantage of the ill-defined gap between Peri's departure and Mel's arrival, the Missing Adventures gave the Doctor an extra companion during that period, Grant Markham.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: ''Burning Heart'' by Dave Stone, a regular writer for [[Judge Dredd]] comics, had the Doctor joining forces with a super-strict future cop with a face-concealing helmet on a futuristic motorcycle who goes by the nickname Stoneface. This was supposed to be an official Dredd crossover, but when they couldn't get the rights he just filed the serial numbers off enough to get around copyright laws.
** Conveniently, the Guild of Adjudicators established in the [[Virgin New Adventures]] was ''already'' pretty much the Mega-City One Justice Department.
* [[Comic Book Fantasy Casting]]: Similar to his method of "casting" [[House of Cards (British series)|Ian Richardson]] in pretty much all of his [[Doctor Who]] novels, Lance Parkin goes even further in ''Cold Fusion''. The characters Provost-General Tertullian Medford and Chief Scientist Whitfield are meant to be "played" by Terry Scott and June Whitfield, stars of 1980s sitcom ''[[wikipedia:Terry and June|Terry and June]]''!
* [[Compound Interest Time Travel Gambit]]: ''The Crystal Bucephalus'' reveals that this is where the Doctor gets his money from.
* [[Crossover]]: With the [[Virgin New Adventures]] in ''Cold Fusion''. It featured the Fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan, along with the then current New Adventures team of the Seventh Doctor, Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej.
