Gallifrey IV cover.
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.
Series five
Series six
The final series of Gallifrey, consisting of 3 stories, was released in October 2013.

- Lady President Romana — Lalla Ward
- Leela — Louise Jameson
