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.
