"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.

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.
