The Doctor, a hero. The War Doctor - the version of him who turned
his back on the name in order to do what had to be done. John Hurt
returns as this enigmatic figure for a series set in Doctor Who's
Time War...1.1 THE INNOCENT. As the Daleks mass their time fleet
for a final assault on Gallifrey, something ancient is waiting for
them at Omega One. And a sacrifice must be made. Arch-manipulator
and Time Lord strategist, Cardinal Ollistra receives shock news of
the Doctor's death. Meanwhile, on the planet Keska, a parochial war
has returned to plague a peaceful civilisation after decades of
tranquillity. But how can such a war have any connection with the
great Time War which, at any one moment in the whole of eternity,
could threaten to tear the universe apart? If only the Doctor were
still alive. 1.2 THE THOUSAND WORLDS. With the high-ranking Time
Lord Seratrix behind enemy lines, the War Doctor finds himself
assigned to a rescue mission. But any room for manoeuvre is
severely restricted by an area of space known as the Null Zone.
Times have changed on Keska, and a countdown to destruction is
beginning. But who are the Taalyens and what is their part in the
great and terrifying Dalek plan? 1.3 THE HEART OF THE BATTLE.
Trapped in a citadel swarming with Daleks, the Time Lord rescue
force must find a way to overcome insurmountable odds. With the
Daleks apparently planning to rule the Null Zone, perhaps their
thirst for universal conquest and victory has been quenched...The
War Doctor doesn't believe so - but how can he prove it without
destroying any chance of peace? As the countdown to the destruction
of Keska proceeds, a deadly choice must be made...A choice that
will define this Doctor, and perhaps forever cast him in the role
of 'monster'. Big Finish present John Hurt as The War Doctor, a
character created for, and central to, Doctor Who's 50th
Anniversary Special The Day of the Doctor, shown on TV and in
cinemas in 2013. This release also stars two of cult television's
leading women: Jacqueline Pearce known for her role as Servalan in
Blake's 7, and Carolyn Seymour from Terry Nation's 1970s BBC hit
Survivors. Only The Monstrous was written and directed by Nicholas
Briggs - voice-artist for the Daleks and other terrifying monsters
from the televised version of Doctor Who! CAST: John Hurt (The War
Doctor), Jacqueline Pearce (Cardinal Ollistra), Lucy Briggs-Owen
(The Nursemaid), Carolyn Seymour (The Slave). Beth Chalmers
(Veklin), Alex Wyndham (Seratrix), Kieran Hodgson (Bennus), Barnaby
Edwards (Arverton), Mark McDonnell (Traanus) John Banks (Garv) and
