Time Lord Victorious is a multiplatform story set within the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The story was announced in April 2020.[1] The first installment of the story was released in March 2020, and the final installment was made available in April 2021 as a ticketed live experience. The serialised story is told through a variety of multimedia including audio dramas, comics, books, short stories, immersive experiences, collectables, and an animated series.

The title refers to an alias The Doctor assumed, claiming his supremacy over time, and final victory in the Time War.[2]

Plot

[edit]

The overall storyline includes events linking back to the Fourth Doctor's era, but essentially begins for the Tenth Doctor just after the events of "The Waters of Mars".

The Doctor's actions on Bowie Base One having created a temporal rift, he travels back to the Dark Times of the universe, where he meets the race known as the Kotturuh, who brought death itself into the universe in the early days of history, either making species mortal or killing them in a matter of hours for nothing more than the Kotturuhs' belief that they would contribute nothing to the future. The Doctor gathers an army of mercenaries and even goes so far as to create a virus based on the Kotturuhs' death touch that gives the entire species a 'lifespan' of fifteen minutes, eventually adopting the 'Time Lord Victorious' title as he tries to stop the Kotturuh's influence on history in the first place.

In the future, the Eighth Doctor discovers various temporal anomalies that he eventually traces back to the Dark Times, and he is forced to accompany a Dalek Time Squad into the past to investigate the source. The Ninth Doctor finds himself in the past while on a trip with Rose, and has to save a group of vampires from a previously-unknown female incarnation of Rassilon. The three Doctors meet about the Kotturuh homeworld, but the Tenth initially assumes that the Eighth and Ninth Doctors are a deception, resulting in the three fleets attacking each other until the Doctors make telepathic contact with each other. The Daleks attempt to steal samples from a Great Vampire in the Ninth's coffin ship to create a group of immortal Dalek/vampire hybrids, but the Doctors are able to find the last of the Kotturuh, who had abandoned her peoples' vendetta, and convince her to kill the Dalek hybrids. The Eighth Doctor takes the Dalek squad back into the Time Vortex, and the Ninth and Tenth are able to find a new planet for the vampires to settle on with the aid of a blood substitute.

The Eighth Doctor is able to destroy the Dalek saucer and escape, but a single Dalek survives and is picked up by a colony ship, but is eventually destroyed by the Fourth Doctor. The Tenth Doctor also takes the opportunity to tie up a loose end left by the Eighth Doctor, in the form of a telepathic entity that the Eighth defeated but was unable to properly trap at the time.

Daleks!

[edit]

Daleks! is an animated series based on the eponymous fictional extra-terrestrial race of mutants from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who.[3][4] The series was written by James Goss as the final installment in the multi-platform story arc Time Lord Victorious. The series was released in 5 weekly 10-minute episodes from 12 November 2020 on the official Doctor Who YouTube channel.[5] The CGI animation was created by Studio Liddell. The cast includes Nicholas Briggs as the Daleks, Joe Sugg as R-41, Anjli Mohindra as the Mechanoid Queen, and Ayesha Antoine as Mechonoid 2150 and the Chief Archivist.[3]

Following the previous events of Time Lord Victorious, the Daleks ransack the Archive of Islos, only to find that their home planet Skaro has been invaded.[5] Huw Fullerton wrote in Radio Times that the series was "an enjoyable little corner of the Doctor Who universe", although he criticized the visual effects as "a little lacklustre".[6] Aidan Mason of Pop Culture Beast stated that, "this series is a decent watch, especially Planet of the Mechanoids", but stated that the finale was, "full of holes and tropes, as well as slightly rushed."[7]

Narrative and Lore

Central Plot Summary

Following the events of "," where the declares himself the by attempting to rewrite a fixed point in time to save Brooke and her crew, he flees into the depths of the universe's history, arriving in the Dark Times—an ancient era at the dawn of creation where mortality is not yet a universal constant. In this primordial epoch, the Doctor encounters the Kotturuh, ethereal beings who position themselves as arbiters of death, traveling from world to world to impose individualized lifespans and mortality upon immortal species, fundamentally altering the fabric of existence. Embracing his self-proclaimed title with growing hubris as the last , the Doctor engineers a devastating designed to counter the Kotturuh by forcing mortality upon them, effectively committing against their kind to eradicate their influence and restore immortality to the cosmos. As the Doctor's campaign intensifies, he forms an uneasy alliance with a Dalek time squad, united against the common Kotturuh threat despite their mutual enmity, leading to skirmishes across shattered timelines where the Daleks exploit the chaos for their own conquests. This pact draws him into encounters with ancient vampires, the Great Vampires, who seek to harness the turmoil of the Dark Times for their expansion, complicating the Doctor's efforts with their predatory ambitions and revelations about forgotten cosmic pacts. The narrative culminates in a temporal paradox as the Doctor intersects with his Eighth and Ninth incarnations in the broader crisis to defend Gallifrey and prevent the collapse of reality itself. In the resolution, the Victorious defies multiple fixed points in time by rescuing his endangered companions from inevitable fates and fundamentally reshaping the role of in the universe, ensuring it becomes a selective force rather than an absolute, though at the cost of unleashing unforeseen ripples that foreshadow the horrors of the Last Great Time War. This act of temporal arrogance solidifies his isolation as the sole surviving Time Lord, linking his directly to the cataclysmic conflicts that would later engulf Gallifrey.

Connections to Doctor Who Universe

The Time Lord Victorious storyline builds directly on key elements of established Doctor Who canon, particularly the Tenth Doctor's escalating hubris as depicted in the 2009 episode "The Waters of Mars," where he declares himself capable of overriding fixed points in time, earning the title "Time Lord Victorious" for the first time. This moment serves as a narrative prerequisite, positioning the multi-platform event as a direct extension of that arrogance, set shortly after the episode's events. Additionally, it draws on the Time War's aftermath from the revived series (2005 onward), which isolated the Time Lords and shaped their desperate defenses against existential threats, while expanding the "Dark Times" era referenced in "The End of Time" (2009) as a chaotic period of ancient, god-like races predating Gallifrey's dominance. Multi-Doctor crossovers integrate earlier incarnations into the Dark Times conflict, with the prominently featured in Big Finish audio dramas such as "He Kills Me, He Kills Me Not" and "The Enemy of My Enemy," where he confronts the Kotturuh crisis and incursions alongside his successor. The appears in the comic "Monstrous Beauty" from Magazine, encountering vampiric entities tied to the era's lore. An indirect link to the emerges through the Great Vampires, ancient predators from the Dark Times first explored in his 1980 serial "," whose DNA and history are repurposed in Time Lord Victorious to fuel experiments, connecting classic-era threats to the event's broader narrative. The event expands lore by introducing the Kotturuh, an immortal species from the Dark Times who position themselves as arbiters of mortality, dispensing death to younger races in a universe initially free of it, as detailed in official short stories and the 2021 Doctor Who Annual. This recontextualizes the ' longstanding pursuit of immortality—seen across episodes like "" (2005) and "" (2008)—by portraying their actions during the Kotturuh crisis as a frantic bid to achieve eternal life through forbidden alliances and genetic tampering, without disrupting the series' fixed points on death and regeneration elsewhere. Themes of defying mortality echo the Tenth Doctor's arc but emphasize cosmic consequences, reinforcing the ' role as reluctant guardians in a pre- .
