The Great War was the first full cast audio story in the Dark Eyes audio anthology released in 2012 by Big Finish Productions. It featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Ruth Bradley as Molly O'Sullivan. This story was the first story to advance the Eighth Doctor's story forwards following 2011's To the Death. This story's cover and the box set's cover also features a new look for the Eighth Doctor whose appearance on the covers of audios and in their in-universe description has not majorly diverted from his appearance in the 1996 television movie.
