The main focus of the story is 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 the Romana's first incarnation.
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.
Gallifrey
Series one
Series two
Series three
Series four
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.
