=== Other ===
The series derived its name from the [[Time Lord Victorious]] title briefly adopted by the [[Tenth Doctor]] in the [[2009 (releases)|2009]] TV story ''[[The Waters of Mars (TV story)|The Waters of Mars]]'', when he believed that he was the victor of [[the Time War]] and therefore controlled the [[Laws of Time]]. This episode was retroactively included in the event, being promoted as a chapter in the Tenth Doctor's path.
''to be added''
 
The ''Time Lord Victorious'' series also included multiple webcasts, split across two series: ''[[UNIT Field Log (series)|UNIT Field Logs]]'', a set of tie-ins to the immersive experience ''[[Time Fracture (stage play)|Time Fracture]]''; and ''[[Daleks!

Latest revision as of 01:05, 22 October 2024

You may be looking for the title taken by the Doctor.

Time Lord Victorious was a "multi-platform story" released between 17 August 2020 and 7 February 2024. The series was set in and around the Kotturuh crisis and featured the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Doctors, as well as Rose Tyler, Brian the Ood, and the Dalek Restoration Empire.

Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]

The series was first teased online by Big Finish Productions and Doctor Who social media on 26 April 2020,[1][2] with first details of the storyline being announced on the following day.

Big Finish's news announced that "Time Lord Victorious will tell a new and untold story, set in the Dark Times near the start of the universe, when even the Eternals were young. Following several Doctors across space and time as they defend their home planet from a terrible race, this is a story like no other."[3]

The first releases were the UNIT Field Logs from 17-20 August 2020.

Media[[edit] | [edit source]]

Various stories were released, across media, by Penguin Random House, Doctor Who Magazine, Titan Comics, Escape Hunt, Big Finish Productions, Eaglemoss Hero Collector, Immersive Everywhere, Maze Theory, BBC Books and BBC Audio.[3] As ensured by series producer James Goss, the overarching story was "inclusive", so even without purchasing all of the releases, readers could still get a "completed story".[4] With the exception of the escape room and immersive theatre elements, all of the stories were available globally.[5]

The series derived its name from the Time Lord Victorious title briefly adopted by the Tenth Doctor in the 2009 TV story The Waters of Mars, when he believed that he was the victor of the Time War and therefore controlled the Laws of Time. This episode was retroactively included in the event, being promoted as a chapter in the Tenth Doctor's path.

The Time Lord Victorious series also included multiple webcasts, split across two series: UNIT Field Logs, a set of tie-ins to the immersive experience Time Fracture; and Daleks!, a series of five 10-minute episodes starring the Daleks animated by Studio Liddell and released on the official YouTube channel. Daleks! was written by James Goss and starred Nicholas Briggs, Joe Sugg, Anjli Mohindra, and Ayesha Antoine.[6]

There were a number of associated merchandise releases. Eaglemoss Hero Collector released four separate figurine sets, each of which came with a companion magazine that further explains the story.[7] Titan Merchandise also released a Brian the Ood t-shirt that tells a "very important piece of the Time Lord Victorious narrative".[8] Time Lord Victorious associated content was also made available in Worlds Apart (through a set of 50 trading cards in two packs, one featuring an unlimited supply, and a premium pack limited to 10,000 packs, featuring an exclusive TLV card frame)[9] and The Edge of Time (through updates).[10]
