Producer David Richardson said: "From the very first scene, we're thrown into something very different – a dark story in which two agents are on the trail of a killer, in a place that is familiar but so very different. It's a tale packed with surprises and left turns, as Alfie throws everything into this brilliantly conceived Time War story."
Writer Alfie Shaw added: "When Matt Fitton asked if I wanted to do a War Doctor box set, I’d just finished doing a war against the Daleks box set for The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles, so I wanted to do something completely different. There are no Daleks and no massive space battles in Fallen Heroes. It’s a little backwater town on a backwater planet that’s about to be messed up by the greater conflict.
"The inspiration for this set was stuff like True Detective and Alan Wake 2. Yes, there’s a murder to be solved, but the focus is more on how the crime affects those caught up in it rather than a Christie-style whodunnit. I really wanted it to almost not be Doctor Who, and the fact it must become Doctor Who again is part of what messes things up for everyone.
"It’s weird – possibly the weirdest one I’ve done – but if you're doing a whole box set in the Time War, you need to take a big, bizarre swing. I adore Daisy and Jonathon and have wanted to work with them both on something for ages. I’m over the moon that we were able to make it happen for this one."
