Well, the erotic book company Black Lace were owned by Virgin and supposedly used to share offices with the Doctor Who New Adventures writers, this may have something to do with it? Allegedly 'Portia Da Costa' is one of the DW novel writers, but I'm not sure who she (or he) is, if any of them.
The amnesia arc has Eight trapped on Earth for over a century, not knowing who he is or why he isn't getting any older. This is nicely convenient for anyone who might want to porn him up as it removes the need to mention copyrighted things like the TARDIS, Gallifrey, or those perky companions who might get in the way of teh sex.
I'm not sure how it all came about, but the central character of The Stranger's obviously meant to be Eight (long hair, velvet frock coat, he ends up going by the name 'Dr Bowman' which he uses in some of the Big Finish short stories...) except for the bits where he's Paul McGann's character from Withnail & I. Or Paul McGann's character from Withnail & I is Eight. Either way there is lots of pr0n, and the main female character in this, Claudia, is briefly mentioned in The Gallifrey Chronicles. Hurrah for this fandom, I say.
