in Dec 2024.

As the Time War rages across the cosmos, an unlikely crew of outcasts form a pact
to end the conflict once and for all. Their target: a legendary warrior, whose assassination
at a precise point in history will create a chain reaction that sets the whole universe
free…

**Recorded on:** 6-7, 9 and 19 February 2024

**Recorded at:** The Soundhouse

**Producer David Richardson said**: _“Our run of epic movie-length single-writer
War Doctor stories continues, with a beautiful script written by award-winning Timothy
X Atack. This is absolutely top-tier stuff – a bold, fiercely imaginative and innovative
tale populated by unique guest characters and layered with the gamut of human emotions.
It’s an absolute ride that had us on the edge of our seats during the studio recordings–
trust me, this is something very special indeed.”_

**Writer Timothy X Atack added**:_ “The fun thing with this one was being able to
take a self-contained story within the Time War and stretch it out as far as possible.
The idea right from the start was to introduce some really vibrant, interesting 
characters, and then give them a lovely complete arc, with the War Doctor along 
for the ride. I knew that I could really go for the emotional jugular with that!”_
