Jonathon Carley returns as the young War Doctor in a single, three-hour adventure, written by Robert Valentine, and due for release in December 2022. As the Time Lord embarks on a mission into the darkest heart of the Time War, he wonders if he’ll ever make his way back.  

The three parts of this epic audio drama volume are:  

The Mission by Robert Valentine 
The Abyss by Robert Valentine 
The Horror by Robert Valentine 

Producer David Richardson said: “Think of this as a concept album release. For this box set we’ve handed over to Robert Valentine and asked him to throw his ingenuity and creativity into three hours. You won’t be disappointed, as the War Doctor steps along a dark path and encounters a new foe.”
