Casualties
Virtually the entire Time Lord population; the Doctor and the Master are known survivors. Majority of the Dalek race; survivors include the Dalek Emperor, the Cult of Skaro, several million prisoners of the Time Lords and at least one other Dalek

The Time War is an event referred to on several occasions in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, beginning from its revival in 2005. The conflict was between the Time Lords and the Daleks, resulting in their mutual destruction, which the series suggests was caused by the Doctor himself.[1] The Doctor also referred to this conflict as "the last great Time War," implying that there had been others. The last great Time War should not be confused with the War against the Enemy that features in several of the spin-off novels in the Eighth Doctor Adventures series.

The term Time War can also be applied to at least two types of time-spanning conflicts in the Doctor Who universe. The first type of time war is where the two sides are fighting the war across different points in history, separated by centuries or millennia. The second type of time war is where Time itself is used as a weapon, with pre-emptive strikes, time loops, temporal paradoxes and the reversal of historical events. The last great Time War appears to be of the latter variety.


It is implied in the various spin-off media that there have been several previous Time Wars, but that all traces of them have been removed from history. One such war is mentioned in the 1995 Virgin New Adventures novel Sky Pirates! by Dave Stone. Lasting thirty thousand years, it is fought between the Time Lords and other races that are developing time travel. The Time Lords destroy one such race, the Charon, before they even exist.[2] This war takes place a generation after the time of Rassilon, the founder of Time Lord society. The Virgin New Adventures (often referred to simply as NAs within fandom) were a series of novels from Virgin Publishing based on the British science-fiction television series Doctor Who, which had been cancelled in 1989, continuing the story of the series from where the television programme had left off. ...

The last great Time War

The last great Time War is first alluded to in the first episode of the 2005 series, "Rose". There, the Ninth Doctor explains to his companion, Rose Tyler, that the reason behind the Nestene Consciousness' invasion of Earth was because its food planets were destroyed in "the war". Later in the episode, the Doctor states that he fought in the war, but he was unable to save the Nestenes' planet.

In the following episode, "The End of the World", set five billion years in the future, Jabe of the Forest of Cheem expresses amazement that the Doctor, a Time Lord, still exists, implying that the war had consequences up and down history. At the end of that episode, the Doctor confesses to Rose that the war had destroyed his home planet, leaving him the only surviving Time Lord. The End of the World is an episode in the British science-fiction television series Doctor Who that was first broadcast on April 2, 2005. ... This is a list of monsters and aliens from the television series Doctor Who. ...


In the third episode, "The Unquiet Dead", the Doctor encounters the ghostly Gelth, aliens from another dimension whose bodies had been destroyed by the war. The Gelth say that the war was unseen by "lower species" but devastating to the "higher" ones. The Unquiet Dead is an episode in the British science-fiction television series Doctor Who that was first broadcast on April 9, 2005. ... This is a list of monsters and aliens from the television series Doctor Who. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...


In "Dalek", the sixth episode, it is revealed that the Time Lords' adversaries in the war were the Daleks. What actually started the war was not stated, but executive producer Russell T. Davies commented in an episode of the documentary series Doctor Who Confidential that the origins of the war dated back to the 1975 serial Genesis of the Daleks, where the Time Lords send the Fourth Doctor into the past in an attempt to avert the Daleks' creation or affect their development to make them less aggressive.

Further details of the War are sketchy; in "Doomsday", the Tenth Doctor mentions that he fought on the front lines and was present at the Fall of Arcadia. In any case, at the war's end, the Doctor was responsible for the destruction of the Dalek fleet and homeworld, an action that also destroyed the Time Lords and Gallifrey. Although at least the single Dalek in "Dalek" had survived, the Doctor dismisses the possibility that other Time Lords may have survived as well, saying that he would have sensed it if they had. Doomsday is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ... The Tenth Doctor is the name given to the tenth and current incarnation of the Doctor seen on screen in the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who. ... This is a list of planets, fictional or otherwise, that are mentioned in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...


Instability

The destruction of the Time Lords creates a vacuum that may have left history itself more vulnerable to change. In "The Unquiet Dead", the Doctor tells Rose that time is in flux and history can change instantly — a more fluid definition to that which had been seen in earlier stories, which had implied that history was either immutable (The Aztecs) or only capable of being changed by very powerful beings (Remembrance of the Daleks). The Aztecs is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in 4 weekly parts from May 23 to June 13, 1964. ... Remembrance of the Daleks is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from October 5 to October 26, 1988. ...


The most dramatic demonstration of this was in "Father's Day", when Rose creates a paradox by crossing her own timestream to save her father's life just before his destined death in a traffic accident. This summons the terrifying Reapers, who descended to sterilise the "wound" in time by devouring everything in sight. The Doctor states that if the Time Lords were still around, they could have prevented or repaired the paradox. The consequences of creating a paradox are also why the Doctor cannot go back in time and save the Time Lords. Indeed, such actions may have directly contributed to their near-extinction: "They're all gone," the Ninth Doctor laments, "And now I'm going the same way." Fathers Day is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast on May 14, 2005. ...

The Ninth Doctor refers to the ninth official incarnation of the fictional character known as the Doctor, in the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who. ...


In the 2006 series episode "School Reunion", while being tempted by the power of the Skasis Paradigm which would give him the ability to reorder the universe, the Doctor muses that he can "stop the war". In "Rise of the Cybermen", the Doctor notes that when the Time Lords were around, travel between parallel universes was less difficult, but with their demise, the paths between worlds are closed. “Doctor who episodes” redirects here. ... School Reunion is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ... Rise of the Cybermen is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...


Survivors

Although the Doctor believes himself to be the last survivor of the Time War, in "The Parting of the Ways" he discovers that, in addition to the lone Dalek in "Dalek", the Dalek Emperor itself had also survived, and had built a new Dalek race. Whether this means that other Time Lords may have survived as well is unclear, though as noted above the Doctor is convinced that he would know of them if they had. The apparent destruction of the Emperor and his fleet at the conclusion of the 2005 series by a time vortex-augmented Rose Tyler is accompanied by her declaration that "the Time War ends." The Parting of the Ways is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast on June 18, 2005. ...

In "Doomsday", it is revealed that a group of Daleks from the elite Cult of Skaro fled into the Void between dimensions and survived the original end of the Time War, taking with them the Genesis Ark, a Time Lord prison ship containing millions of Daleks. The new Dalek army released from the Ark is eventually sucked back into the Void due to the actions of the Doctor, but the Cult of Skaro uses an "emergency temporal shift" to escape that fate. The episode also marked one notable battle in the Time War, the Battle of Arcadia. In "Daleks in Manhattan", it is revealed that Sec (and the other members of the Cult of Skaro) escaped to New York in 1930, where they intend to "evolve" the Dalek species in order to survive through merging with humans. They also reveal that Skaro was destroyed in the Time War as well, although this conflicts with the Seventh Doctor story Rememberance of the Daleks where the Doctor appears to destroy Skaro.

In the 2007 episode "Gridlock", the Face of Boe says that while the Doctor is the "last of his kind", he is also "not alone". The Doctor does not seem to believe this, however, and maintains that he is the last Time Lord. He was technically correct although the Master had managed to survive in human form just as the Doctor had to escape The Family in Human Nature/The Family of Blood. The Master returned in the 2007 episode "Utopia". Gridlock is the third episode from the third series of the revived British science fiction television series Doctor Who which aired on April 14, 2007. ...

Additional information

The Doctor Who Annual 2006, published by Panini in August 2005, contains an article entitled Meet the Doctor by Russell T. Davies, which provides some additional background information on the Time War as seen in the television series, also mentioning in passing events depicted in the novels, audios and comic strips. Although the canonicity of such material is debatable, the fact that Davies is the chief writer and executive producer of the television series may add some weight to the information given. Whether or not any of the material will be used as part of the television series is also unclear. Spectacular Spider Man #100 (UK edition). ...

The article describes the Time Lord policy of non-intervention, but states that on a "higher level", they protected the time vortex and kept the peace. It further claims that two previous "Time Wars" had been fought: the first a skirmish between the Halldons (a race mentioned in the Terry Nation story We are the Daleks from the Radio Times 10th Anniversary Special, 1973) and the Eternals (Enlightenment). The second was the brutal slaughter of the Omnicraven Uprising, with the Time Lords intervening on both occasions to settle matters. The TARDIS in the vortex. ...

The conflict between the Daleks and the Time Lords is described as "the Great (and final) Time War". Initial clashes included the Dalek attempt to infiltrate the High Council of the Time Lords with duplicates (Resurrection of the Daleks, 1984), and the open declaration of hostilities by one of the Dalek Puppet Emperors (possibly Remembrance of the Daleks); the Daleks claim these are merely in retaliation for the the Time Lords' sending the Doctor back in time to change Dalek history in Genesis of the Daleks. Resurrection of the Daleks is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in two weekly parts from February 8 to February 15, 1984. ... Remembrance of the Daleks is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from October 5 to October 26, 1988. ...


Foundations for war

The article says that historical records are uncertain, but mentions two specific events in the lead-up to the war. The first was an attempted Dalek-Time Lord peace treaty initiated by President Romana under the Act of Master Restitution (a possible reference to the otherwise unexplained trial of the Master on Skaro at the beginning of the Doctor Who television movie, 1996). The second was the Etra Prime Incident (The Apocalypse Element), which some say "began the escalation of events." Weapons used by the Time Lords included Bowships, Black Hole Carriers and N-Forms (the last from Davies' 1996 New Adventures novel Damaged Goods) while the Daleks wielded "the full might of the Deathsmiths of Goth" (from the comic strip story Black Legacy by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, in Doctor Who Weekly #35-#38) and launched a massive fleet into the vortex (possibly in The Time of the Daleks).

The timelines of lesser races and planets shifted without the inhabitants of the worlds affected being aware of the changes in history, as they were a part of them (presumably including humans). "Higher Species" who were able to notice the changes included the Forest of Cheem, who were distraught at the bloodshed; the Nestene Consciousness, which lost all its planets and further mutated; the Greater Animus, which died; and the Eternals, who apparently fled this reality in despair, never to be seen again.

The article ends with a description of a monument to the Time War on a distant planet, upon which, under an image of a lone survivor walking away, the message "You are not alone" has been scratched, perhaps indicating that the Doctor was not the sole survivor of the conflict. [3] This is also the same message that the Face of Boe delivers to the Doctor in "Gridlock". On Martha Jones' MySpace, it is revealed that she and the Doctor, just prior to the events of "Human Nature", visited a place called the Eye of Orion (previously visited on-screen at the start of The Five Doctors), where a shrine to the Time War stood. This may be the same place as mentioned in the Doctor Who Annual. Martha Jones is a fictional character played by Freema Agyeman in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

We went to a meadow and standing in it was this stone that was about the same height as me. He said it was a war memorial. I asked him why there weren't any names on it and he said it was because too many people had died." — Martha Jones Martha Jones is a fictional character played by Freema Agyeman in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

Gallifrey audio series

Gallifrey is the umbrella title of a series of audio plays by Big Finish Productions, set on Gallifrey during Romana's tenure as President. In Gallifrey: Panacea, the final chapter of the third series, the Time Lord Irving Braxiatel speaks of "rumours out there in the big wide universe — more than rumours, in fact — that something's coming to Gallifrey, something worse than you could possibly imagine". Big Finish Productions is a British company that produces audio plays released straight to compact disc, based on British cult science fiction properties. ... Irving Braxiatel is a fictional character from the Virgin New Adventures — spin-off novels based on the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...


Because of these rumours, Braxiatel engineers the removal of the Time Lord biodata archive from Gallifrey, in order that the Time Lords might someday be restored after their planet meets its doom. Former Big Finish producer Gary Russell indicated in a forum posting on Outpost Gallifrey that this was a reference to the television series' Time War.[4] Gary Russell appearing on Doctor Who Confidential Gary Russell (born 18 September 1963 in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England, UK) is a freelance writer and former child actor. ...

Other Time Wars in Doctor Who

Eighth Doctor Adventures

In a story arc stretching through several of the Eighth Doctor Adventures, sometime in the Doctor's future a war is fought between the Time Lords and an unnamed Enemy. Although in this story arc Gallifrey is also destroyed — as a result of the Eighth Doctor attempting to prevent the war from beginning (The Ancestor Cell, 2000) — series executive producer Russell T. Davies wrote in Doctor Who Magazine #356 that there is no connection between the War of the books and the Time War of the television series. (At one stage it was also rumoured that the novels' Enemy would be revealed to be the Daleks, however issues with the estate of Dalek creator Terry Nation, which co-owns the rights with the BBC, prevented them from being used.) Presumably, if the novels and the television series events are to be reconciled, at some point Gallifrey is restored, only to be destroyed again in the Time War. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... Gallifrey is a fictional planet in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ... The Ancestor Cell is a novel by Peter Anghelides and Stephen Cole, based on the science fiction television series Doctor Who. ... Russell T Davies, interviewed for the documentary series Doctor Who Confidential in 2005. ... Doctor Who Magazine (abbreviated as DWM) is a magazine devoted to the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ... Terry Nation (August 8, 1930 – March 9, 1997) was a British television screenwriter and is probably best known for creating the villainous Daleks for the long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...


In the same Doctor Who Magazine column, Davies compared Gallifrey being destroyed twice with Earth's two World Wars. He also said that he was "usually happy for old and new fans to invent the Complete History of the Doctor in their heads, completely free of the production team's hot and heavy hands."[5]


Despite Davies' unequivocal statement that the two wars are distinct, Lance Parkin, in his Doctor Who chronology AHistory, suggests in a speculative essay that the two destructions of Gallifrey may be the same event seen from two different perspectives, with the Eighth Doctor present twice (and both times culpable for the planet's destruction).[6] Lance Parkin is a British author, best known for writing fiction and reference books for television series, in particular Doctor Who (and spin-offs including the Virgin New Adventures and Faction Paradox) and Emmerdale. ...


Another version of the Eighth Doctor Adventures' War, referred to as the "War in Heaven", also appears in the Faction Paradox novels conceived by Lawrence Miles. Faction Paradox is a fictional time travelling voodoo cult/rebel group/organized crime syndicate created by Lawrence Miles. ... Lawrence Miles (born 1972 in Middlesex) is a science-fiction author best known for his work on original Doctor Who novels (both for the Virgin New Adventures and BBC Books series) and the subsequent spin-off Faction Paradox. ...


Doctor Who comic strip

In three comic strip stories written by Alan Moore and published in Doctor Who Monthly, the Time Lords fight a time war early in their history against the Order of the Black Sun, based some thirty thousand years in their future. Doctor Who Magazine (abbreviated as DWM) is a magazine devoted to the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...


The first strike of the war, from the Time Lords' point of view, is when a Black Sun agent travels back in time and attacks the Time Lords just as they are about to turn the star Qqaba into a power source for their time experiments. This also causes the apparent demise of the stellar engineer Omega. The Time Lords do not know why the Black Sun (whom they had never encountered before the attack) should have wanted to strike at them, and surmise that it was for something they had yet to do (Star Death, DWM #47; The 4-D War, DWM #51). Omega is a fictional character from the long-running British science fiction television series, Doctor Who. ...


Years later, at a diplomatic conference, a representative of the Order is murdered by the Sontarans and the murder is blamed on the Time Lords. This provides the motivation for the war's beginnings, as from the Order's point of view, the Time Lords are the ones who strike first (Black Sun Rising, DWM #57). The Sontarans are a fictional extraterrestrial race from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

The Doctor Who novels have suggested that these may have been faces of the Other, a figure from Gallifrey's ancient past and the genetic predecessor of the Doctor (although being from the spin-off novels, the canonicity of this character is debatable).
In the Sixth Doctor story arc The Trial of a Time Lord, a Time Lord with the title of the Valeyard (played by Michael Jayston) was revealed to be a potential future Doctor, existing somewhere between his twelfth and final incarnations and embodying all the evil and malevolence of the Doctor's dark side.
