Doctor Who - The War Doctor Begins: He Who Fights With Monsters

The young War Doctor is ordered to assassinate a rogue Time Lord in a three-part full-cast audio adventure, He Who Fights With Monsters, from Big Finish Productions.
Jonathon Carley returns as the 'secret' incarnation of the Doctor - originally played on screen by the late John Hurt - in the fourth volume chronicling his anguished origin story.
The brilliantly-crafted character piece finds the War Doctor hunting a corrupted Time Lord, the Barber Surgeon, played by Laurence Olivier Award-nominee Nicholas Le Prevost.
The Doctor is no more. A warrior has joined the Time War between the Daleks and Gallifrey. But how far will he go? What lines will he cross? How much of himself will he sacrifice?
The War Doctor has begun to find out who he is - and the consequence of fighting with monsters...
Doctor Who - The War Doctor Begins: He Who Fights With Monsters is now available to own for just £19.99 (collector’s edition CD box set + download) or £16.99 (download only).
The talented ensemble cast also joining Jonathon Carley includes Ken Bones (as the General), Nicholas Briggs (as the Daleks) and Jason Merrells (as a Dalek Hunter-Killer).
The three compelling tales, all written by Robert Valentine, are as follows:
The Mission
As the Time War takes a dark new turn, the War Doctor is tasked by the Time War Council with locating and assassinating a Gallifreyan renegade waging their own private campaign against both the Daleks and the Time Lords. Who is the mysterious Barber Surgeon, and can the Doctor
complete his mission without becoming all that he abhors?
The Abyss
The Doctor journeys towards his target through the ravages of the Time War, the trail leading him back into his own personal history. With the Daleks close behind and the mysterious Barber-Surgeon anticipating his every move, he comes to suspect that this is one mission he won't be
coming back from.
The Horror
The Doctor is missing in action. As Gallifrey and Skaro face total destruction, Time Lord and Dalek forces converge on the realm of the Barber-Surgeon. From his junkyard fortress in a lost dimension, the renegade warmonger is about to create his ultimate weapon... Who or what can possibly stop him?
Jonathon Carley said: “What tips the War Doctor over the edge into accepting this mission is curiosity, which has in many cases been the Doctor’s downfall. He wants to get to the bottom of who the Barber Surgeon is and if he can be stopped. He doesn’t trust anybody else to do it
and if he falls into the wrong hands, it could mean catastrophe. At this point, what has he got to lose?
“The whole story is absolutely stacked with layers and subtext. In the finale of this series, we confront that head on by asking ‘Who is the War Doctor?’ Who was he once upon a time and who could he become? As much as he’s tried to step away from the identity of the Doctor, he’s
never been fully able to escape it.”
Director Louise Jameson added: “I love the contradictions in the script. Jonathon’s Doctor is so vicious, generous, moved and brutally cold - he’s covered all of that gamut through these three episodes and yet the segue between one emotion and the other is done brilliantly - really
supported by the writing of course.”
Big Finish listeners can save money by purchasing all four volumes of The War Doctor Begins in a bundle for just £76 (collector’s edition CD box set + download) or £66 (download only).
All of the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release.
Seeing the Dalek Time Strategist animated into official Doctor Who media gives me hope that we'll see this beautifully designed yet vile fiend in the show someday
This trailer feels like an actual TV episode, from the War Doctor's TARDIS interior and time vortex to the Spider Daleks on Gallifrey. I LOVE IT!
Fun fact; those spider Daleks are known as the Skaro Degradations, mentioned by Ten in the last of his series
I wish these multimedia stories got an animated adaptation.
@@themightyalpaca313 by fun you mean known by everyone?
@@themightyalpaca313 Huh. Somehow I thought the Skaro Degradations would be more like some kind of weapon of mass destruction, or an event in the war. Not just Daleks with legs.
@@GrandmasterDevo There’s also a version that flies, permanently.
I think they’re called that because they’re mutations, both of the shell, and most likely of the creature inside
R.I.P John Hurt your performances will never be forgotten
More dalek variants? Yes please! Id love to see the time strategist in the flesh on the tv one day.
So do I mate so do I
Just outstanding! It's a crying shame that there isn't funding to animate an entire Big Finish boxset in this way. It would be tremendously popular on a streaming service ...
When the main show takes an break, animating the big finish stories should happen. There are some great stories but the audio fanbase is limited
@@stevencrighton6890 yesssss
@@stevencrighton6890 someone should get funding, I think a few fan animators can help.
something like warhammer + but actually good
The time war needs its own TV spin off so bad
If they animated Big Finish I think they would make gangbusters. Disney and Sony get on it.
Audio barely manages to capture any of the madness of what the Time War was proposed to be by RTD, making a TV series out of it is suicide because there’s no way we can get the proper scope and inherent incomprehensibility and make sensible satisfying stories that a casual audience could conceivably follow along and enjoy
@Michael Puglisi personally I've always thought a game set in the dw universe like a 3rd person shooter where you play as a timelord soldier during the time war might be the best way to interpret it. But there aren't any good doctor who games so idk which studio would be willing to take on the IP
With what they've been promising about Whoniverse spin-offs, that would be a no-brainer. I don't think I'd trust it to anyone to head it but RTD or Moffat.
@@TheRandomGuyTheFarNoGameCat Sony? Ques que ce Sony?
“I never wanted to f*** but now I have no choice.” He really is a morally ambiguous doctor.
16:00 wow, you really get a sense for how rickety the TARDIS is with the sonic screwdriver reverberating along. This mini-movie is absolutely packed with gorgeous touches, outstanding work!
You mean 00:16 ?
Fantastic to see Spider Daleks in action! And Jonathon Carley is a great War Doctor, he's reminiscent of John Hurt but adds his own take to the performance. Looking forward to listening to this!
He may not be exact but he does a great job.
@@disneyboy3030It helps that he's playing a younger war doctor as in my opinion, he doesn't sound more like a young john hurt from what little i've heard of the actual young john hurt
I think that Damaged Dalek Is Dalek Caan, You can hear the madness within his voice.
I was gonna say the same thing.
It’s iver caan or it might be the time controller as they both sound quite similar so it could be iver
@@timecontroller8800 I was under the impression that the Time Controller was long dead? How ever he dose exist after the Time War suggesting that they is able to cross the timelines so they could come back? However the amour suggests not
@@cousinmonachpsis5707 as far as this particular dalek, its just a regular dalek, but since its been brought up:
the time controller starts out as post-time war, created to assist the dalek paradigm, but acting under the title "dalek litigator". the master audio series heavily implies this by having him known only as the litigator, but mentioning multiple times having read the timelines of the current event as well as reporting to the dalek parliament.
the next time you see the "litigator" is Patient Zero, where hes acting under the time controller title, and from that point onward his chronology is pre-time war
It is! His inner dalek squid thing is exposed so i'd assume once he was rescued they had to remove the top half since that seems to have sustained the most damage and was likely irreparable since it's kinda just hanging off
To this day, it's still sad to think that John Hurt passed away. RIP to a legend. However I'm sure he would be pleased with how well Jonathon Carley did in his role as the war doctor. Can't wait to listen to this adventure. Also, those spider daleks are freaky!!!
It feels like we got the best possible timeline for doctor who content. I feel so lucky
The chances of Daleks coming for us, are a million to one, they said. But still, they come!
those spider Daleks did give me war of the worlds vibes
If it's a million to one. The odds are it's bound to happen. If it's one in a million, then that's a different story.
@@CaJoel They actually remind me more of the Crab Droids from Star Wars.
@@minicle426 I believe they where referencing the small manoeuvring vehicles from the book, rather than the larger and more famous Tripods.
@@cousinmonachpsis5707 though the Skaro Degradations in _Engines of War_ are tripods.
Yet another dope trailer. You guys just don’t miss with these teasers
I agree-i don't know how they keep doing these trailers. This may be the greatest box set, yet.
Big Finish, please animate some of these like the missing episode recreations, I'd pay for a whole season of these
I just bought the first war doctor begins audio drama just coincidence that I found this and I cannot wait to give it a go and Jonathan Carley does a wonderful impression of John Hurt I'm very excited.
0:52 Also I love that Caan is used here too.
I was wondering if that was Caan then I was wondering if even that specific (seemingly dying) Dalek knew that the Warrior (War Doctor) doesn’t go by the name The Doctor…
hence the Dalek seeing “Beyond the Storm”…seeing HIM…seeing DEATH…instead of referring to him as the Doctor…
of course in Day of the Doctor the Daleks on Gallifrey only knew him by the name The Doctor…so maybe it was somehow Caan in the commercial…
As great as these Big Finish audios are I can't help but wish they would go into animation as the clips they make to promote future releases are absolutely stunning. Just brilliant to watch.
Loved this trailer so much! Since the novel War of the Daleks I’ve wanted to see more Spider Dalek. Fabulous work!😃
I myself was never fond of the Two EDA Dalek novels and was much more fond of the Daleks depiction in DWM. I myself however loved the War arc in the EDA’s and find the Enemy a far greater threat to the Great Houses/ Time Lords than the Daleks could ever be (and thanks to A Prelude to a Prelude and Dead Romance we know that the Daleks where on the Great Houses side in the War in Heaven)
I do know what you mean. But at the time in the wilderness years it was new material. And the mention of new Dalek variants was great for me. Striders, Marine and of course Spiders.
@@davidmoore586 fair. But I do will always prefer the Enemy to the Daleks (not to mention my all time favourite Time Travelling Death Cult)
I have sooo many favourites it’s hard to say which one stands out for me!😁
@@davidmoore586 what other Time Travelling Death cults Are their? The only one I can name and the only one I was implying was the Faction Paradox?
Wow, love the way you got s 'spider-daleks' from the TV movie concepts in there!! The idea of them being alternate reality Daleks is fantastic!
We need a War Doctor vs War Master boxset
goosebumps!! im glad that they still honor john hurt's warrior persona
Such a shame John Hurt passed away...this would've been a Hall of Fame career moment for him! God Bless his soul...
the time strategist returns
He always will, there's no stopping him and let's be honest, if anything from the time war is still lurking out there waiting to pop up on the actual tv screen, it's the Time Strategist
@@HiveFleetOni yep
I really love how the Daleks look in this style. 0:35 absolutely terrifying..
Love Means Terrifying?
Love the uses of the Slower version of the War Doctor Motif “I am not the Doctor!” Can’t wait
RIP John Hurt. Thank you for playing The War Doctor.
The Time War could be covered in a video game format. The Daleks could reclaim their throne as true monsters and be treated as borderline monsters in the game as you fight hordes of them. The Doctor and the Master could be playable characters. A multiplayer with Time-Lord skins could be available. Rassilon and Davros could be boss fights in different campaigns, Rassilon himself could be a playable character. Maybe a Dalek campaign against the Time-Lords could be available since it is clear that the Daleks almost won the war if not for the Moment.
That would be pretty sick tbh.
I would definitely play that
Saving this as part of this years Christmas haul.
This is the best of the range so far. Carley gets better with every release.
Glad to finally see this variant of Dalek visually. the tripod-esque ones, I mean. I read about its design in "Doctor Who: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe". But the Time Controller is something else.
It's SO brilliant to see (or hear) the classic Spider Daleks again!
John Hurt should have made a full series. He would have been brilliant.
"I never wanted to fight"
The rest of you heard it too, right?
I really missed the late John Hurt .Wish he had more Dr Who episodes as the war doctor .He nailed that role perfectly.
Spider Daleks!!!
Another great trailer and possibly a late contender for the Big Finish trailer of the year!
Oh, and the rest of the box sets in this range have been excellent.
Back in the 90's when the Paul McGann series had planned to give us Spider Daleks, we all thought it was a shit idea. But I always liked it.
Nice to see it's come to pass XD
This trailer had better story telling than the last 3/4 seasons of actual who
Big Finish could easily make a short but good animated story so good as this if they really want.
Gotta say, love the Vortex in this! (00:18 - 00:25) Very interesting take on it! I mean, then and at the beginning of the "trailer", where it kind of looks like a mix of '05 and 2023's Vortex, don't you think?
I mean, this thing was made a year ago So the people who made it probably didn't see the new vortex
Also why did you say trailers in quotes
Because I felt like it.
Those spider Dalek designs are cool as fuck holy shit
0:52 Dalek Caan!
Love to see these stories in this cartoon format.
Well that trailer was a bit AWESOME wasn't it? Hope everyone at BF and all us listeners have a great Christmas!
all the whovians in the world, could see a way for us to make a petition or something, so that we could get a spin off of the eighth doctor, or the war doctor himself with time war stories ,Just imagine how fantastic it would be to see this on screens and not just in imagination in our minds 😍❤️
I know John hurt is dead and God rest his soul ❤️ I love John hurt and his character but we could do as the first doctor like they currently did with David
It's only a matter of time before the DTS breaks out of Big Finish and into the tv series itself
This is brilliant as always! I sometimes think that the only person who really thinks the Doctor is any different in the Time War is the Doctor. 😁
Some of the Big Finish stories need full animation :D
The Skaro Degradations! Woohoo!
The time strategist looked absolutely fantastic the only problem is why does he sound like the time controller?
Briggs seems to keep changing the voice.
Given this is earlier in the war, makes sense he might sound a little different
Note the line about "every reality". This may not be the Time Controller, or Time Strategist, of the main Universe...
Sort of a John Hurt meets René Auberjonois vibe going on with the doctor’s voice, somehow, I envision him wearing a ww2 helmet, and clenching a cigar in his mouth.
Finally made those spider daleks that almost happened in a movie once upon the late 90s
The only person where I can watch/listen and believe this is actually the real actor. Makes me more interested and invested. It’s so off putting when actors don’t sound like the person they’re meant to be impersonating.
Well done Jonathan Carley!!
This seems like the perfect opening to a Time War centered video game. Someone! Please! MAKE THIS HAPPEN! 🙏
Those spider Daleks were awesome!
"They survived me"
-asylum of the daleks
How many trailers ago did I mention that I was excited to see if the Time Strategist would make a return? On a related note, AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAA
This is going to be awesome but its a shame we will never get to hear John Hurt play this role he was the perfect war doctor, God rest his soul.
If you haven't heard of Nicholas Le Prevost before, see if you can find the Radio 4 series HR with him and Jonathan Pryce in. It's excellent.
These spider daleks make them so creepy, we need these in the actual tv series
I never wanted to f**k lmao.
Well done lads.
Heard that too?
Okay okay okay
Now that was an amazing trailer.
This probably isnt the case, but was that damaged dalek near the end Dalek Caan?
There's something, genuinely, eldritchly terrifying about daleks with fucking spider legs
This animation is amazing! There are quite a few TH-cam people who create excellent Dalek animation videos... I do hope that Disney are watching and can invest the money in order for a series with animation like this and great stories from Big Finish. 👍
My only hope is that they haven't changed the time strategist's voice to that, love the one they have used in the past
Why does it sound like he said the f bomb at the beginning lol.
Oh my GOOOOOOD when i get the money, rest assured it will be yours. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE
This trailer is like a total war warhammer faction intro.
Is it an in-joke that the identity tag of the Dalek Time Strategist looks like "O-H-O", resembling the mirrored "WHO" as it appeared in the opening titles of the very first TV episodes?
Hey we are finally getting those spider daleks from that canceled but highly influential reboot. Nice.
Do they ever say when he switched from the Edwardian interior to this one from the Time War?
He sounds exactly like John hurt it’s amazing
God how i love this TARDIS interior
wonderful to see it again
This looks like if Doctor Who
was mixed with Warhammer 40k
This has to date been a outstanding series & I look forward to this release.
Amazing trailer.
Is that Dalek Caan?
Daleks with legs truly is cursed
Awesome animation my dude.
Also "he who fights with monsters" is a fantasy book series which is probably why the algorithm gods recommended this to me. 😂😂😂
This is amazing work. I wish we had this as a TV series (although the visuals in my head whilst listening to the BF audios is INCREDIBLE)
Awesome trailer! Great to see a return to the War Doctor's character as well as the Dalek Time Strategist 🔥
The John Hurt impression is pretty bad but that doesn’t ruin the rest of this great video!
0:55 Is that Dalek Caan after accidentally travelling back to the Time War?
Jesus the excitement I felt watching this - yazzzz, let’s go! Spider daleks for the win.
Can’t wait for this! ❤
*sees spider daleks
Why aren't we funding this?
Yoooooo that looks siiiiiiiiiiiick!!! Those are dalaks? Dalaks with spider legs? Why doesn't the main show do that???
Those are the Skaro Degregations
@@raymond8920 bro those look amazing!
Best big finish trailer hands down
Dr. who as an animated cartoon would be pretty cool if they wanted to cover the war ark. realistically it's also the only way to do it on a reasonable budget.
What's with the Time Strategists voice? A very nice subtle redesign though.
Brilliant Trailer! You should do animated episodes for Doctor Who as well.
You guys need to be sending these promos to Walt Disney so we can get an animated series.
SCREW DISNEY!! they been on crap street for this past year or so. they're going broke due to going woke.
New voice for Dalek Time Strategist? Or is that the time controller?
I’m thinking They’re doing an Aging Thing? Or just Retconned the Voice.
@@TheGuySilver Honestly I prefer the the time controllers voice makes it distinct from the red supreme dalek
I just wish they could have found someone who sounded more like the original War Doctor. The actor had such a distinctive voice.
omg giant daleks look terrifying 😱
"LETS DO THE TIME WAR AGAIN!"
i wish they weren't so outradious expensive. There are so many i want but i have never been able to afford them.
0:32 cheeky War of the Worlds reference?
0:02 What did he say???
Hope you ask Travis Deverell before using "he who fights with monsters"
As the series seems to be going ion a marvel direction with spin offs galore can we have one dedicated to the Time war this really should be one of the TV spin offs Russel is subtly talking about doing.
Daleks with legs
