Exile is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The Doctor Who Unbound dramas pose a series of "What if...?" questions.
[edit] Plot
What if... the Doctor had escaped the justice of the Time Lords at the end of The War Games?
The Doctor commits suicide and regenerates into a female form. She then departs for Earth and begins a mundane life of working in a supermarket all day and spending all night in the pub. Her previous form haunts her, trying to remind her who she is and not to give up. Meanwhile two other Time Lords have been sent to find and arrest the Doctor.

[edit] Notes
- David Tennant, who features in a small role as "Time Lord 2", was formerly Arabella Weir's lodger and is godfather to one of her children. He later went on to star as the Tenth Doctor in the television series proper.
- This story is much lighter in tone than the rest of the Doctor Who Unbound series, and has met with some criticism from fans.
