 The BBC lives! -- Introduction & History
The BBC wanted to base its project around a computer that was capable of doing all of the various things it wanted to demonstrate in its series "The Computer Programme" (1981) extremely well.
The BBC had serious discussions with Clive Sinclair (or Sir Clive), who tried to peddle the terrible "NewBrain" micro to them, but it came nowhere near the specification the BBC had drawn up, and was rejected.
The BBC was often seen on BBC television programmes such as The Adventure Game, Tomorrow's World, Beat the Teacher, Doctor Who (where it provided many graphics and even special effects) and on countless educational programmes during the 1980s.

 BBC Books: 1997 Eighth Doctor Novels
In every book after The Eight Doctors some other older female character takes on a companion role -- sometimes (like in War of the Daleks) -- this is actually used to good effect with regards to Sam (she's jealous of the Doctor giving attention to other women).
I have said before that the strength of the books is that even if you don't like every book, you should be able to find some of the books that you will like.
I was concerned that this might change with the move to BBC Books, but I'm happy to say that it hasn't.
