The Innocent (audio story)

 was the first audio story in the anthology Only the Monstrous. This was the first audio story to feature John Hurt as the War Doctor, his first time reprising the role in a full cast story since the 2013 50th anniversary special. It also featured Jacqueline Pearce in her debut as Cardinal Ollistra. It is notable for being the first Big Finish story to utilise a new series Doctor.

Publisher's summary
As the Daleks mass their time fleet for a final assault on Gallifrey, something ancient is waiting for them at Omega One. And a sacrifice must be made.

Arch-manipulator and Time Lord strategist, Cardinal Ollistra receives shock news of the Doctor’s death.

Meanwhile, on the planet Keska, a parochial war has returned to plague a peaceful civilisation after decades of tranquillity. But how can such a war have any connection with the great Time War which, at any one moment in the whole of eternity, could threaten to tear the universe apart?

If only the Doctor were still alive.
