For 22 years these stories continued collectively known as Big Finish's "Main Range".{{#invoke:cite web||url=http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-who/feature/a831517/big-finish-nicholas-briggs-interview/ |title=Celebrating Big Finish: How a gang of fans reinvented Doctor Who for a new audience |work=Digital Spy |first=Morgan |last=Jeffrey |date=23 June 2017 |access-date=21 September 2018 |archive-date=28 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180928003944/http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-who/feature/a831517/big-finish-nicholas-briggs-interview/ |url-status=live }}{{#invoke:cite web||url=http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2010/01/sirens-of-time-written-and-directed-by.html|title=The Sirens of Time written and directed by Nick Briggs|date=19 January 2010|access-date=29 April 2015|website=Doc Oho Reviews|last=Ford|first=Joe|archive-date=26 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150126041654/http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2010/01/sirens-of-time-written-and-directed-by.html|url-status=live}} In May 2020, Big Finish announced the main range would conclude in March 2021 and subsequently replaced with regular releases of each Doctor's adventures continuing in their own respective ranges.{{#invoke:cite web||url=https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/revamped-doctor-who-audio-ranges-from-big-finish |title=Revamped Doctor Who audio ranges from Big Finish |publisher=Big Finish Productions |access-date=27 May 2020 |archive-date=26 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200526185631/https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/revamped-doctor-who-audio-ranges-from-big-finish |url-status=live }}{{#invoke:cite web||url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/scifi/2020-05-25/big-finish-monthly-range-ending/ |title=Big Finish to end monthly Doctor Who audio range in 2022 revamp |publisher=Radio Times |access-date=25 May 2020 |archive-date=26 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200526185631/https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/scifi/2020-05-25/big-finish-monthly-range-ending/ |url-status=live }} Several previously released special titles were retroactively reallocated into these new ranges by Big Finish.
