I looked it up myself instead of being lazy, audiobooks licensed from popular tv shows.

No. They produce officially licensed audio adventures for the BBC. Been going over twenty years.

The calibre of actor they get for them is really impressive. Along with all the surviving Doctors (excluding Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi and current incumbent Ncuti Gatwa) they've worked with the likes of Eric Roberts, Derek Jacobi, Richard Armitage, John Simm, Nicola Walker, David Warner, Sheridan Smith, Toby Jones among others.

I love audiobooks while I?m out for a walk so I might give them a try. I would assume they will be available on audible.

They aren't audio books as such but actual acted stories with full casts and very impressive sound effects and music.

Just looking at the guest casts on some of those i have.

Hayley Atwell, India (Voice of Masterchef) Fisher, Claudia Christian, Jenny Agutter, Maryam d'Abo and Leslie Phillips is in Medicinal Purposes about grave robbing in Edinburgh

I know exactly what you mean the recent Sandman audio that came out was full cast and sound effects it?s really good, in 3 parts about 50 hours!

I listened to the dramatisation of 1984 (featuring Andrew Garfield, Cynthia Erivl, Andrew Scott, Tom Hardy) and it uses Dolby Atmos/Spatial Audio superbly, really escalating/enhancing the mood and tension.

I've also added The Strange Case to my library (starring Vanessa Kirby, David Oyelowo, and Sofie Grobol), and Oliver Twist, featuring Brian Cox, Daniel Kaluuya, Nicola Coughlan, Paapa Essiedu, and Diane Morgan to my library to enjoy those stories being retold with 3D sound.
