Chance of a lifetime really. These books are important because they laid the foundations for Davies and Moffat would do with the new series.
Vincent Gogh

I believe it

That line that Moffat likes so much ". Never be cruel and never be cowardly." he got that from Paul Cornell who used it over and over his books.

and then there is Lawrence Miles.... He wrote some books for the 8th Doctor and his ideas... Well, He came up with the idea of the Time War.

Unfortunately the 8th Doctor era of books is.... well.... a mess where everyone has there own ideas of how to make Doctor Who successful and it is all chaos and bad ideas and so...The Time War that happened in the books get the rare honor of deliberately being nuked from canon never to be spoken of again by the TV series doing it.

Yes, Big finish is canon pretty much.

Night of the Doctor said so and Davies said he always consider it to be what happened with Macgann too.

But the *8th Doctor Novels and the Big finish audios about him are mutual exclusive things that REALLY contradict each other. the early 2000s just before the series came back was from what I've read of the fandom then was a very bad time. Literally a civil war over what was the proper continuation of the classic series.
