'''''Gallifrey''''' was an ongoing series produced by [[Big Finish Productions]] centring on [[Gallifrey]] and its affairs, both internal and external. {{As of|2023|9}}, fifteen series have been released.


The main focus of the story is split between [[Lord President|Lady President]] [[Romana II|Romana]], as portrayed by [[Lalla Ward]], and [[Leela]], as portrayed by [[Louise Jameson]]. It also featured the return of [[Mary Tamm]] as the [[Romana I|Romana's first incarnation]].
The main focus of the story was split between [[Lord President|Lady President]] [[Romana II|Romana]], as portrayed by [[Lalla Ward]], and [[Leela]], as portrayed by [[Louise Jameson]]. It also featured the return of [[Mary Tamm]] as [[Romana I|Romana's first incarnation]] and the introduction of [[Juliet Landau]] as a new [[Romana III|incarnation]].
 
The first three series took the form of single releases. Beginning with the [[Gallifrey IV|fourth series]], ''Gallifrey'' moved to a boxset format. Series seven and eight saw another format change, each consisting of a single, longer story.
 
[[Scott Handcock]], producer of ''Gallifrey'', originally thought ''[[Enemy Lines (audio story)|Enemy Lines]]'', which comprised the eighth series of ''Gallifrey'', would be the end for the audio series, as it "had always been flirting around the edges of the Time War without ever addressing it, so [he] struggled to see what [they] could do to feel fresh without tackling the Time War head-on". ([[VOR 108]]) Therefore, the next release, ''[[Time War: Volume One]]'' saw the return of the boxset format and began ''Gallifrey: Time War'', a subseries focused on the [[Last Great Time War|epinomyous conflict]], which was followed by ''Gallifrey: War Room'', focusing on the War effort after events of ''[[Time War: Volume Four]]''.


== Publisher's summary ==
== Publisher's summary ==
Former travelling companions, Romana and Leela, are now living on the [[Time Lord]] home world of Gallifrey where life is far from dull. An on-going series of adventures on single CD.
Tales of intrigue and political manoeuvring from the seat of [[Time Lord]] power. Join [[Romana II|Romana]], [[Leela]] and [[K9]] as they find enemies on all sides in a delicate game with the fate of [[Gallifrey]] hanging in the balance.
 
== History ==
Following the broadcast of ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'' in [[1978 (releases)|1978]], [[Gary Russell]] read an idea in a [[fanzine]] about a whole series being set on [[Gallifrey]] starring the [[Fourth Doctor]] and a rotating cast of supporting characters and kept this in mind. In [[2003 (production)|2003]], Russell worked with [[Lalla Ward]], [[Louise Jameson]], [[John Leeson]] and [[Alan Barnes]] on [[Big Finish Productions|Big Finish]]'s ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'', amongst whom there was discussion about the potential of the characters of [[Romana II]], [[Leela]] and [[K9]] which led to the creation of ''Gallifrey''.

==== Allegiance ====
Series 4, titled ''Gallifrey IV'' on the box set, was something of a departure from the previous series. While the series does have an linking arc, there is far less connection between the four stories than previous series. Series 4 was described by [[Gary Russell]] on the Making of CD as a sort of "Gallifrey Unbound", with each of the four stories presenting an alternative timeline of Gallifrey's history.

== Notes ==
== Notes ==
* As with most of the Big Finish series, the main cast does not change between stories but there are many guest characters and cast.
[[File:Gallifrey iv williamson.jpg|thumb|Promotional art for ''[[Gallifrey IV]]'' by [[Brian Williamson]] from ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''. ([[DWM 432]])]]
* Romana, Leela and Narvin are the only characters to appear in all twenty-four audio dramas in the series.
* [[Leela]] and [[Narvin]] appear in forty of forty-four audio dramas in the series, making them the characters with the most appearances.
* Romana, Leela, K9 Mark I, K9 Mark II, Darkel, [[Andred]], [[Maxil|Commander Maxil]] and [[Valyes]] are the only characters from the classic series to appear in ''Gallifrey'', though two distinct, alternative versions of the [[Sixth Doctor]] - namely, the [[Burner Doctor]] and [[Theta Sigma (Forever)|Commentator Theta Sigma]] - appear in the fourth series.
* The audio story ''[[Erasure (audio story)|Erasure]]'', which stars Narvin, is part of the ''[[Short Trips]]'' series.
* In a documentary included with the sixth series, ''Gallifrey VI'', the producers indicated that the series was inspired by the American political drama ''The West Wing''.
* ''Gallifrey'' crossed over with some of [[Big Finish]]'s other ''[[Doctor Who]]'' spin-offs in ''[[The Worlds of Doctor Who (audio anthology)|The Worlds of Doctor Who]]''. ''Gallifrey'' featured in ''[[Second Sight (audio story)|Second Sight]]''.

You may be looking for the planet or the "Dark Gallifrey" audio series.

Gallifrey was an ongoing series produced by Big Finish Productions centring on Gallifrey and its affairs, both internal and external. As of September 2023, fifteen series have been released.

The main focus of the story was split between Lady President Romana, as portrayed by Lalla Ward, and Leela, as portrayed by Louise Jameson. It also featured the return of Mary Tamm as Romana's first incarnation and the introduction of Juliet Landau as a new incarnation.

The first three series took the form of single releases. Beginning with the fourth series, Gallifrey moved to a boxset format. Series seven and eight saw another format change, each consisting of a single, longer story.

Scott Handcock, producer of Gallifrey, originally thought Enemy Lines, which comprised the eighth series of Gallifrey, would be the end for the audio series, as it "had always been flirting around the edges of the Time War without ever addressing it, so [he] struggled to see what [they] could do to feel fresh without tackling the Time War head-on". (VOR 108) Therefore, the next release, Time War: Volume One saw the return of the boxset format and began Gallifrey: Time War, a subseries focused on the epinomyous conflict, which was followed by Gallifrey: War Room, focusing on the War effort after events of Time War: Volume Four.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Tales of intrigue and political manoeuvring from the seat of Time Lord power. Join Romana, Leela and K9 as they find enemies on all sides in a delicate game with the fate of Gallifrey hanging in the balance.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

Following the broadcast of The Invasion of Time in 1978, Gary Russell read an idea in a fanzine about a whole series being set on Gallifrey starring the Fourth Doctor and a rotating cast of supporting characters and kept this in mind. In 2003, Russell worked with Lalla Ward, Louise Jameson, John Leeson and Alan Barnes on Big Finish's Zagreus, amongst whom there was discussion about the potential of the characters of Romana II, Leela and K9 which led to the creation of Gallifrey.
