The War Doctor Collection

"The name I chose is the Doctor. The name you choose, it’s like a promise you make. He’s the one who broke the promise. He is my secret." John Hurt reprised his role as the War Doctor - first seen on television in The Name of the Doctor - in a series of new adventures for Big Finish released between 2015 and 2017. Hurt's tragic passing in 2017 brought the curtain down on the War Doctor’s further adventures, but now his origin story is being told. Jonathon Carley stars as the War Doctor in Doctor Who: The War Doctor Begins and Doctor Who: The War Doctor Rises in releases from 2021.
