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

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.
