Eye of Harmony
[Source explicitly describing the Doctor's Eye as the Gallifreyan Eye's namesake as noted on Talk:Time Vortex goes here] This piece of Time Lord engineering was also an exploding star in the act of becoming a black hole. The Eleventh Doctor explained that "[y]ou rip the star from its orbit [and] suspend it in a permanent state of decay". (TV: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS)

The Eye of Harmony was described by both the Eighth (TV: Doctor Who) and Eleventh Doctor (TV: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS) as the TARDIS' power source. The Eighth Doctor said it was "[t]he power source of the heart of the TARDIS". (TV: Doctor Who)

Time Lords
TV: The End of the World


 * Jabe: Identify species. Please identify species. Now, stop it. Identify his race. Where's he from? That's impossible.


 * Jabe: And what about your ancestry, Doctor? Perhaps you could tell a story or two. Perhaps a man only enjoys trouble when there's nothing else left. I scanned you earlier. The metal machine had trouble identifying your species. It refused to admit your existence, and even when it named you I wouldn't believe it, but it was right. I know where you're from. Forgive me for intruding, but it's remarkable that you even exist. I just want to say how sorry I am.


 * Ninth Doctor: Jabe, you're made of wood.
 * Jabe: Then stop wasting time, Time Lord.

TV: School Reunion


 * Mr Finch: And what of the Time Lords? I always thought of you as such a pompous race. Ancient, dusty senators. So frightened of change and chaos. And of course, they’re all but extinct. Only you: the last.

TV: Smith and Jones


 * Martha: You never even told me who you are.
 * Tenth Doctor: The Doctor.
 * Martha: But what sort of species? It's not every day I get to say that.
 * Tenth Doctor: I'm a Time Lord.

TV: Utopia


 * Professor Yana: Might I ask what species are you?
 * Tenth Doctor: Time Lord. Last of. Heard of them? Legend or anything?

TV: The Sound of Drums


 * Tenth Doctor: And on the Continent of Wild Endeavour in the Mountains of Solace and Solitude, there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords, the oldest and most mighty race in the universe, looking down on the galaxies below. Sworn never to interfere. Only to watch.

The Time Lords were, according to the Tenth Doctor, "the oldest and most mighty race in the universe". (TV: The Sound of Drums)

Lord Barset
Lord Barset was a hereditary title on Earth. It was given to at least two human explorers involved in Antarctic expeditions in the 20th and 21st century; they were respectively a grandfather and his grandson.

The grandfather
Lord Barset unearthed a city of intelligent "lizard men" with superior technology beneath the Antarctic ice. He wrote about this in his diary. All but one of the expedition died in the encounter, the expedition's ship, the Rochester, having been lost. This crewmember was discovered holding Lord Barset's diary; he was seemingly driven insane and died just a few days afterwards. (AUDIO: Frozen Time)

The grandson
The diary of Lord Barset was secretly passed down to his grandson, another Lord Barset. Lord Barset was granted a licence to go on an Antarctic expedition to both find the remains of his grandfather's expedition the lizard men's city.

Lord Barset arrived in Antarctica in the Fortitude. When his people failed to make radio contact after six days, he and several others from the Fortitude arrived to the dig site with arms. There, instead of the city his grandfather found, he discovered the remains of an Ice Warrior maximum security prison, where the Seventh Doctor was thawed.

In a "quest for knowledge", he had the Ice Warrior war criminals, led by Lord Arakssor, thawed. Lord Barset and Captain Harman were trapped inside the prison, while the Doctor, Geni and Mac left in Aristo One. Barset and Harman tried to escape to the Fortitude, but Harman was killed by an Ice Warrior's sonic weapon, and Lord Barset was injured and presumed dead. Discovering the Doctor and Geni had returned, he worked with them to stop the Ice Warriors altering the structure Earth's greenhouse gases to cool down the planet and make it into Arakssor's "fortress".

As the process started, Lord Barset was knocked out by falling hail. The Doctor and Geni put him in a small chamber for him to recover. When he woke, he shot at Lord Arakssor, allowing the Doctor to boost the signal to get the attention of the warship of Red 0089. Arakssor then killed him. (AUDIO: Frozen Time)

Behind the scenes
The grandson Lord Barset was a vocal role voiced by Anthony Calf in Frozen Time. The grandfather, who died decades before Frozen Time's main setting, did not appear in a flashback and had no performer in the story.

Diana, Princess of Wales
Diana, Princess of Wales, née Lady Diana Spencer (PROSE: Prisoners of the Sun) and sometimes known as Lady Di, (PROSE: The Dying Days) was the wife of Prince Charles. (PROSE: Prisoners of the Sun) She married Charles in 1981. (PROSE: Graham Dilley Saves the World)

Views on the Doctor
In the words of Madame Vastra, the Doctor was "kind", "a hero" and "the saviour of worlds". (TV: The Snowmen)

Others were less willing to describe the Doctor in such benign terms, including the Doctor himself; instead describing him as someone to fear or dread.

The Tenth Doctor referred to himself as "the Oncoming Storm" and "the Bringer of Darkness". (TV: The Day of the Doctor) According to the Great Intelligence, the Doctor was "blood soaked". (TV: The Name of the Doctor) Davros named the Doctor as "the Destroyer of Worlds". (TV: Journey's End) Both the Seventh (PROSE: Love and War, AUDIO: Love and War) and the Tenth Doctor (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace) proclaimed themselves to be what "monsters" had nightmares about.

Victor Kennedy said he read up on the Doctor and how he was "so passionate" and "so sweet". The Tenth Doctor responded that he may have been these things, but warned Victor not to mistake these traits for "nice". (TV: Love & Monsters)

Humanian Era
The Humanian Era was a period of Earth history which encompassed at least 29-31 December 1999. (TV: Doctor Who)

CyberNomads
"CyberNomads" was the name of a group of nomadic Cybermen which were postulated by ArcHivist Hegelia to have travelled out into the galaxy prior to the massive loss of life of the Cybermen that stayed behind in the solar system on Planet 14.

After several failed attempts at taking over Earth following the destruction of Mondas, by 2191, the Cybermen were considered to have become extinct. Although most were hibernating in the Cyber-tombs on Telos, Hegelia thought there was another group — the cyberNomads. These were thought to have been the Cybermen which were active on Agora in 2191.

Hegelia hypothesised that another group of cyberNomads reopened the Cyber-tombs on Telos, which helped create a new race — the Neomorphs. (PROSE: Killing Ground)

Neomorphs
According to ArchHivist Hegelia, the Neomorphs were a "new race" of Cybermen which the cyberNomads helped create when they reopened the Cyber-tombs on Telos. They were the Cybermen which proliferated during the 26th century. (PROSE: Killing Ground)
