When Doctor Who returned to television in 2005, there had been a major change to the sci-fi series’ status quo. The Doctor was still a Time Lord, traveling through time and space in his TARDIS with a human companion, fending off the forces of evil. Now, though, he was the last of the Time Lords.In the classic series of Doctor Who, the Time Lords were very much alive and well. They were the cause of the Second Doctor’s regeneration into the Third and a frequent source of frustration for the Doctor, who had long been rebelling against their arcane laws. However, when Doctor Who returned after its 16-year hiatus, the Time Lords had been annihilated along with the Doctor’s greatest enemy, the Daleks. The Doctor himself had dealt the killing blow, in order to bring the Last Great Time War to an end. What the series didn’t reveal, however, was that the Doctor was also the one who started the war.The origins of the Time War have not been directly addressed in any televised Doctor Who stories. However, writer and returning showrunner Russell T Davies once hinted at the war’s origins in one of Doctor Who’s best loved classic serials. In a piece titled “Meet the Doctor,” written for the 2006 Doctor Who Annual, Davies examined the events that led up to the outbreak of the war between Time Lords and Daleks. In particular, he pointed to the Fourth Doctor serial “Genesis of the Daleks” as “the first shot” fired in the Time War.RELATED: This One-Off Doctor Who Monster Is Begging for a Comeback
