What is the Time War?
SA) A war between the Daleks and the Time Lords. LA) The Time War is, so far, unseen back story, that appears to have happened after the events with the Eighth Doctor in The Movie and before the first episode of the new series (Rose). There was also a Time War in the Eighth Doctor Novels, it is not known whether this is supposed to be the same Time War, but since it has been referred to as The Last Great Time War in the new series (Dalek), it implies there has been more than one Time War. Which means the Time War in the novels could have happened before the back story Time War, with The Last Great Time War undoing anything in the Novels that might break with continuity. Little bits of back story have been revealed across the episodes in the new series. It’s not clear what started the Time War, or who exactly was involved, but at least the Time Lords and Daleks fought, and the Nestene and Gelth were caught up in it.
