Doctor Who Unbound: Doctor of War – Genesis begins a new Big Finish audio drama series set in an alternative timeline immediately after the events of the 1975 TV story, Genesis of the Daleks. 

Joining leading man Colin Baker in the cast of this experimental “What if?” adventure are many familiar friends and foes, including the Master (Geoffrey Beevers), Romana (Rebecca Night), Peri (Nicola Bryant) and the Daleks (Nicholas Briggs). Although, in the unbound universe, not everyone is as they seem. 

Plus, Gallifreyan high society is graced with some new faces, including Chancellor Borusa (played by TV star Sanjeev Bhaskar) alongside his girlfriend, the Time Lady Zorcha (Georgia Mackenzie). 

Doctor Who Unbound: Doctor of War – Genesis is now available to pre-order as a collector’s edition CD (+ download for just £19.99) or a digital download only (for just £16.99) exclusively here. 

Times have changed. A choice was made and the universe diverged. And now all of history is at war.  

One man stands at the centre of it all. But whose side is he on? Is he with the angels? Or the demons? And does anyone even know which is which?  

He was a Doctor once, but now he is Doctor no more. He is the Warrior. The Doctor of War.  

The three stories in this exclusive box set are: 

Dust Devil by John Dorney  

The TARDIS crew are on the run, pursued by an unstoppable force. But who is hunting them? And why? Will they find the answers on Aridius? Or just more questions? 

Aftershocks by Lou Morgan 

The ripples are spreading out. The Warrior is on trial. Or is he? No-one’s willing to tell him his crime so how can he know if he’s guilty? And who is trying him anyway? 

The Difference Office by James Kettle 

The Warrior is President of the Time Lords… and suffering from visions. Is he the right man to combat an invasion? Because there’s someone out there in the wilderness of Gallifrey. Someone with the Warrior’s face. And he’s heading for the Capitol.  

Sanjeev Bhaskar said: "I'm a big fan of Doctor Who and I've enjoyed it since I was a kid. I think Doctor Who is the one solid, surviving, continuous strand of British science fiction. It's a real institution and to be involved in it has been extraordinary.  

"One of the interesting things about reading the script was that I had no idea it was going to end up where it did. That's always a lovely surprise because that means it's unpredictable which I think is one of the hallmarks of Doctor Who." 

Director Barnaby Kay added: “It’s jolly exciting. The episodes are so extraordinarily non-linear and everyone's on catch-up. We’re not quite sure where we are, what planet we’re on, what timeline we’re in and that’s an exciting prospect to unravel."

Doctor of War – Genesis is now available to pre-order as a collector’s edition CD (for just £19.99) or a digital download (for just £16.99) exclusively from the Big Finish website. 

The second volume within this series, Doctor of War – Destiny, is set to be released in September 2022. Big Finish listeners can save money by pre-ordering both box sets together in a bundle for £38 (as a CD edition) or £33 (as a digital download). 

All the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release.
