10 Doctor Who Moments You're Missing From Expanded Media

The Time War has been a significant plot thread throughout Doctor Who's new series since its return in 2005's Rose. Although, whilst being a major plot, the Time War has seen very little screen time in the series, and was only visited, and resolved, in the fiftieth anniversary special, the Day of the Doctor. The major event in the Whoniverse is largely used as a device to explain the gap in the show between classic and new.

However, with so many forms of expanded media of course the Time War has been fleshed out over the years. The three main expanded media companies, BBC Books, Big Finish and Titan comics have all dipped their toes into the Time War, providing adventures for various Doctors.

The War Doctor's debuts in the Name of the Doctor, and is then only on screen again for the fiftieth anniversary, but received more fleshing out in the expanded media. The first of which in the book the Engines of War, where this Doctor is fleshed out by providing him with own companion, Cinder, and depicted him fighting both Daleks and Time Lords, highlighting the blurred lines of good and evil in this conflict.

Elsewhere in expanded media, Big Finish has created various audio ranges to bring the Time War to our ears. Both the War Doctor and Eighth Doctor got their own Time War ranges, whilst we've also been treated to Susan's War, as well as the previously mentioned War Master and Gallifrey series. Most appropriately for such a huge event, these sets really are epic and most satisfying to depict such a unique conflict between the Whoniverse's greatest adversaries.
