The Mission

The War Doctor Begins #4.1

Released: 13 December 2022

Listened: 2/9/23

This boxed set is entitled “He Who Fights with Monsters,” and it’s one long story, focused on a new renegade Time Lord who’s taken a part in the war, called “the Barber-Surgeon.” All the stories are written by Robert Valentine, and directed by Louise Jameson, so there’s much tighter continuity within the stories. Unfortunately, that means rather a bit of filler. In this story, the Doctor gets his mission to kill the Barber-Surgeon, and spends a while trying to find him, with Daleks chasing him to do the same. And…that’s it, really.
