Time Lord/Gallifreyan research

 * Lungbarrow — nothing either way.
 * "The Gallifreyans became a barren race." But that's not a quote from anyone.  It's just the narrator.  And in no way is a division between Gallifreyans and Time Lords posited.


 * Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time — Dicks in no way suggests the people outside the Capitol are not Time Lords. More to the point, there are only four uses of the word "Gallifreyan" in the whole book, whereas there are dozens of uses of "Time Lord".
 * Leela says,
 * "This ceremony does the the Doctor much honour?"
 * Andred says,
 * "The highest honour that our race can give."
 * Andred is consistently described as a Time Lord, not a Gallifreyan. ("a handsome young Time Lord called Andred, Commander of the Chancellery Guard")
 * Leela: You're not Time Lords are you?
 * Nesbin: Oh, but we are.  Some of us, anyway.  Or a least, we were, until we decided to drop out.
 * Leela: Drop out? You fell from the Capitol?
 * Nesbin: Some of us were expelled, others left of their own accord. All that peace and tranquility can get very boring, you know."


 * Timewyrm: Genesys — very firmly on the side of Time Lords being a species:
 * Doctor: I'm not a human being.  I'm a Time Lord.  We're not limited to the tiny portion of time that your lives span.  When we age and tire, we chnge, we regenerate.
 * Doctor: "My people, the Time Lords, don't like to interfere in the affairs of other worlds.


 * Utnapishtim: She had heard stories, probably, as we all have of a race of beings calling themselves Time Lords, who live forever.


 * Ishtar: You are a Time Lord? Finally! I knew that one day I should find one of your species!


 * Timewyrm: Apocalypse — Time Lords are a species


 * Grand Matriarch: "But the Time Lords were always an unpredictable and unreliable species, even during the last days of their existence.


 * BFG: Weapon of Choice. Romana II absolutely uses Gallifreyan as a synonym for Time Lords.   While talking to a group of other Time Lords, she says "We Gallifreyans".  Later Mephistopheles Arcadian refers to "Gallifreyan longevity".  Not Time Lord longevity.  Leela says that Time Lords "despise the unalike".
