Notes
- Romana and Narvin are the only characters to appear in all thirty audio dramas in the series. As Romana does not appear in her second incarnation in the seventh series, Seán Carlsen is the only actor to star in all thirty episodes.
- Gallifrey crossed over with some of Big Finish's other Doctor Who spin-offs in The Worlds of Doctor Who. Gallifrey featured in Second Sight.
- The characters from the classic series that reappear in Gallifrey are Romana, Leela, K9 Mark I, K9 Mark II, Darkel, Andred, Commander Maxil, Ace and Omega. In addition, two distinct, alternative versions of the Sixth Doctor — namely, the Burner Doctor and Commentator Theta Sigma — appear in the fourth 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.
