History
Originally formed in 1982, though some dates list it as 1981. Still producing in 2011.
In 2011, The Doctor Who Audio Dramas began its 30th continuous year of programming. This makes the DWADs the world's longest running, continuous production of Doctor Who, beating out the BBC's 26 years which ended in 1989. (Some would argue that the continuous run by the BBC actually ended in 1985 when the show went on hiatus for 18 months during the Colin Baker run.)
To date, the Doctor has been played by six actors: Vincent Savage, David Segal, Jeffrey Coburn, Jym DeNatale, James K. Flynn, and R. Douglas Barbieri.
In October 2010, the DWADs claimed 70,000 episode downloads per month.

E-Books
E-Books based on The Doctor Who Audio Dramas are written by fans without the input of the production team. These e-books are made publicly available on the DWAD message board for people to read, and at least one partial book is listed on the DWAD website proper. However, it has been made clear by the production that these books are not considered part of the canon.
