Doctor Who won't fight no dalek, ultimately! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cook

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'doctor who won't' is the definition.
'cook' can be an answer for 'doctor' (both can mean to rig or manipulate). I am unsure of the rest of the definition.

'fight no dalek ultimately' is the wordplay.
'fight no' becomes 'coo' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'dalek' is 'k'.
'coo'+'k'='COOK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cook that I've seen before include "Kitchen worker" , "Heat food" , "make a pie?" , "18th-century explorer" , "spoil" .)
