Forged in Fire was a full cast audio anthology released on 22 June 2021 by Big Finish Productions. It was the first release of the resumed The War Doctor audio series. It introduced Jonathon Carley as the War Doctor and John Dorney as Biroc and featured Clare Higgins as Ohila, Chris Jarman as Rasmus and Adèle Anderson as Tamasan.

The stories in this release take place immediately following the birth of the War Doctor in The Night of the Doctor, and thus chronicle his first and earliest adventures.

Publisher's summary

The Doctor is no more. In his place, a warrior, finally joining the Time War between the Daleks and the Time Lords. But how far will he go to end this conflict? What lines will he cross? How much of himself will he sacrifice? The War Doctor is only just beginning to find out who he is...

1.1 Light the Flame by Matt Fitton

The Sisterhood of Karn have a guest, recovering from his traumatic regeneration. To do what is asked of him, the Doctor has rejected his name and his code.

1.2 Lion Hearts by Lou Morgan

Seeking out Gallifrey’s new warrior, Commodore Tamasan finds that the War Doctor has invited himself on a secret mission. The time-sensitive Tharils are in danger, and an old friend of the Doctor is trapped.

1.3 The Shadow Squad by Andrew Smith

Tamasan is unconvinced of the War Doctor’s loyalties, though when their paths collide, both agree that the destruction of the Dalek Time Strategist could be the best route to victory. But on Atherea, the Daleks may have found a way to annihilate all plans to defeat them before they are even begun…
