Gallifrey was an ongoing series produced by Big Finish Productions centring on Gallifrey and its affairs, both internal and external. As of February 2021, twelve 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. The next release, Time War: Volume One saw the return of the boxset format and began a subseries focused on the Time War.

Publisher's summary

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.

Notes

Promotional art for Gallifrey IV by Brian Williamson from Doctor Who Magazine. (DWM 432)

• Romana and Narvin appear in thirty-seven of thirty-eight audio dramas in the series. As Romana does not appear in her second incarnation in the seventh series, Seán Carlsen is the actor who has starred in the most 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, Valyes, Commander Maxil, Ace, Omega and Rassilon. In addition, two distinct, alternative versions of the Sixth Doctor — namely, the Burner Doctor and Commentator Theta Sigma — appear in the fourth series, as does one alternative Borusa.
• 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.
