It is the original home world of the Time Lordsthe civilisation to which the main protagonist, belongs. It is located in a star system [2] million light years from Earth. In the revived series onwards Gallifrey was originally referred to as having been destroyed in the Time Warwhich was fought between the Time Lords and the . It was depicted in a flashback in " The Sound of Drums " [1] and appeared prominently in " The End of Time " — It is never definitively stated when the appearances of Gallifrey take place. As the planet is often reached by means of time travel, its relative present could conceivably exist almost anywhere in the Earth 's past or future as well as anywhere in the conceivable universe. From space, Gallifrey is seen as a yellow-orange planet and was close enough to central space lanes for spacecraft to require clearance from Gallifreyan Space Traffic Control as they pass through Gallifrey: No. 5 system. The Time Lords' principal city, named The Capitol, consists of shining towers protected by a mighty glass dome. The planet's so-called "second city" is Arcadia, and is seen falling to in the minisode " Day. The Doctor's granddaughter Susan first describes her home world not named as "Gallifrey" at the time as having bright, silver-leafed trees and a burnt orange sky at night in the serial In The Time Monsterthe says that "When I was a Gallifrey: No. 5 boy, we used to live in a house that was perched halfway up the top of a mountain", explaining, "I ran down that mountain and I found that the rocks weren't grey at all—but they were , brown and purple and gold. And those pathetic little patches of sludgy snow were shining white. Shining white in the sunlight. He then elaborates how Gallifrey's second sun would "rise in the south and the mountains would shine", with the silver-leafed trees looking like "a forest on fire" in the mornings. The wastes of Gallifrey include the Death Zone, an area that was used as a gladiatorial Gallifrey: No. 5 by the first Time Lords, pitting Gallifrey: No. 5 species kidnapped from their respective time zones against each other although Daleks and Cybermen were considered too dangerous to use. Somewhere on Gallifrey there is also an institute called the Academy, which Gallifrey: No. 5 Doctor and various other Time Lords have attended. Several of the spin-off novels have further information about Gallifrey. It is said to have at least two moons, one being the copper-coloured Pazithi Gallifreya first named in Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible ; [18] the novel Lungbarrow also places Karn setting of The Brain of Morbiusin Gallifrey's solar system, along with a frozen gas giant named Polarfrey and an "astrological figure" of "Kasterborous the Fibster". The Three Doctors —73 seemed to [ original research? In the episode " "the Tenth Doctor describes the year trillion as a time period not even the Time Lords travelled to. In " ," the states that Gallifrey is once again in the bubble universe it was sent to in ". The television series and people involved in its production repeatedly refer to the Time Lords as a species. He says it is supposed that these races are "the Daleks and the Time Lords". Few details on the history of the planet itself emerge from the original series run from — In " The End of the World "the Gallifrey: No. 5 that his home planet has been destroyed in a war and the Time Lords with it. The episode also indicates that the Time Lords are remembered in the far future. At the conclusion of that episode, that surviving self-destructs, leaving the Ninth Doctor believing that he was the sole survivor of the . The Tenth Doctor 's reference to Gallifrey in " The Runaway Bride " is the first time the name of Gallifrey: No. 5 homeworld has been given onscreen since the new series began. The Doctor's revelation that he is from Gallifrey elicits terror from the Empress of the Racnoss. The planet makes its first appearance in the revived Gallifrey: No. 5 in " The Sound of Drums "where the Citadel, enclosed in a glass Gallifrey: No. 5 as described by the Doctor in " ", Gallifrey: No. 5, is seen in flashback as the Doctor describes it. By the end of the war, Gallifrey is depicted in ruins. The dome of the main city, the capital, the Citadel, is shattered and dozens of Dalek saucers have crashed on the plains below. releases Gallifrey from its time lock. However, Gallifrey's reemergence is eventually stopped and reversed after it is made clear that the release of Gallifrey would lead to the Time Lords destroying time — in effect destroying the universe — in order to defeat the Daleks and ultimately to preserve the Time Lords Gallifrey: No. 5 the expense of all creation. Lord President also believes that this action would elevate them to a higher form of existence, becoming "creatures of consciousness". Upon realising the scope of Rassilon's plan for self-preservation, the Tenth Doctor recalls that the Doctor that fought in the Time War had attempted to stop them during the war. Eventually, the Master comes to the aid of the Tenth Doctor and prevents Gallifrey: No. 5 and the rest of Gallifrey from coming through, breaking the link that held Gallifrey in relative time to 21st-century Earth. Implying that the Time Lords had resorted to desperate and deplorable measures to fight the Daleks, the Doctor is willing to break his code of non-violence to stop the return of the Time Lords. Gallifrey: No. 5 young pilot rejects assistance from the Gallifrey: No. 5 to her fear of the Time Lords. In the 50th anniversary special of the television series, " The Day of the Doctor "scenes are shown during the fall of Arcadia, Gallifrey's second city. Subsequently it is shown that Gallifrey wasn't actually destroyed. The final scenes depict three of the Doctor's incarnations—the Tenth Doctor, the and the ; the interface of the weapon, the Moment, that was supposed to destroy the planet; and the Eleventh Doctor's Clara Oswald decide against destroying it. Instead, they freeze the planet in time within a parallel pocket universe. This occurs with the help of Doctors, including the Twelfth Doctorwhose eyes alone are seen at this point. Gallifrey: No. 5 of destroying Gallifrey, the Dalek fleet echelons open fire on and destroy each other. In " "the Time Lords are depicted as trying to re- enter the universe through a crack in the Universe on the planet Trenzalore. They broadcast a message throughout space and time, the question "? When the Doctor answers, they will know that it is safe to leave. However, this message inadvertently attracts various races, including the Daleks and Cybermento lay siege to Trenzalore; the Eleventh Doctor remaining to protect the inhabitants, but not wanting to release the Time Lords as this would mean the Gallifrey: No. 5 of Trenzalore and the initiation of another Time War. Hundreds of years later, Clara convinces the Time Lords to help the Doctor, dying from old age in his final , and the crack closes, before reopening in the sky above Trenzalore. The Time Lords give the Doctor a new regeneration cycle, before the crack seals for good with the Time Lords still lost, but a newly regenerated Gallifrey: No. 5 to find them. These claims prove to be false, leaving the Doctor distraught. The Twelfth Doctor returns Gallifrey: No. 5 Gallifrey in " "having taken the "long Gallifrey: No. 5 around" through breaking a wall of azbantium after he is teleported inside his confession dial. After Gallifrey: No. 5 is deposed and exiled by the Twelfth Doctor, Gallifrey is seen in a much later period in the episode abandoned apart from the human immortal Ashildrwho is protected in the Cloisters beneath the Citadel by a reality bubble. The Master converts the corpses of Time Lords into Cybermasters, with the power to regenerate. The Doctor threatens him with the Death Particle, a weapon created by Gallifrey: No. 5 Cyberium capable of destroying all organic life. She was unable to press it but Ko Sharmus did so for her, apparently destroying all life on the planet. 's novels Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible and Lungbarrowprovide a detailed backstory for Gallifrey: No. 5 civilisation seen in the main series. In the Dark Times occasionally mentioned in the televised serials such as The Five DoctorsGallifrey was at the centre of an empire covering dozens of worlds and continually being extended by heroes such as Prydonius whom the Time Lord chapter is named after. Ancient Gallifreyans are all telepathic and were ruled by a female cult Gallifrey: No. 5 on a figure called the Pythia, who controlled the population through mysticism and prophecies. When the prophetic powers of the last of the Pythias failed her, Rassilion, Gallifrey: No. 5 a shadowy figure known as The Other seized power in the name of science and Gallifrey: No. 5. Seeing this, the Pythia committed suicide and cursed Gallifrey, killing all children in their wombs and making the world Gallifrey: No. 5. To combat this, Rassilion restructured society and used genetic looms to create new generations of Gallifreyans, who emerge from the looms as fully grown adults. Each of the Great Houses is allotted a total of forty-five cousins and given a regeneration cycle of thirteen lives. The Houses themselves are to some degree alive, in the same way TARDISes are, and the furniture Gallifrey: No. 5 move about, occasionally growing into 'Drudges' who function as servants for the family. The Doctor was loomed in the House of Lungbarrow in the mountains of South Gallifrey, but unique Gallifrey: No. 5 the house's cousins, he has a belly button. The Virgin New Adventures [ vague ] [ which? The Time Lords use these figures to understand the concepts they represent and in some cases make deals with them and become their chosen champions. The is Time's Champion as well as someone who makes frequent deals with or wages against Death to Gallifrey: No. 5 his friends [ citation needed ] and the Gallifrey: No. 5 play Master states that the Master is Death's champion. In order to have boltholes or decoys in case of attack, the Time Lords have created nine separate planet Gallifreys it even hinted that the original Gallifrey may at some point be reduced to ruins Gallifrey: No. 5 special looms to constantly produce new soldiers. It is also hinted that the Celestial Intervention Agency will evolve into the beings of pure thought known as the Celestis, who observe the war from outside this dimension the Last Parliament in which they sit resembles the Panopticon on Gallifrey and the closest anyone gets to describing them is similar to the Time Lords' robes. Faction Paradox itself is a counter to Time Lord society, dedicated to creating time-travel paradoxes, in contrast to the Time Lords' web of time. It was founded by a Gallifrey: No. 5 figure Grandfather Paradox, who it is believed was once a Time Lord from the House of Lungbarrow. However, the cataclysm sets up an event horizon Gallifrey: No. 5 time that prevents anyone from entering Gallifrey's relative past or travelling from it to the present or future. The Time Lords also survive within the , which has been downloaded into the Eighth Doctor's mind, but their reconstruction requires a sufficiently advanced computer. At the novel's end, the question of whether or not the Time Lords will be Gallifrey: No. 5 remains unanswered. Television series executive producer wrote in that there is no connection between the War of the books and the Time War of the television series. He also said that he was Gallifrey: No. 5 happy for old and new fans to invent the Complete History of the Doctor in their heads, completely free of the production team's hot and heavy hands".

You saw the remastered version DVD? As Gallifrey: No. 5 points out it was, given the constraints, made like a pantomime, with characters from Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Pan and Dick Whittington's cat all joining in. Also, if the 4th Doctor had been in it, he would have had most of the 5th's lines "And very fetching it is too" - classic 4th. Susan's Sprained Ankle is a "Terry Nation Sprained Ankle" and was specifically designed to send up the early weak ankled companions. Elisabeth Sladden says Jon loved his driving coat so much he wouldn't take it off hence the disparity between his chess piece and his costume. Apparently at that time, for the first time, old episodes were being replayed on TV, so Susan may not have been a total unknown, unfortunately her appearance just doesn't give her any sort of mid-story. My personal peeve is Susan gets so little time with her various Grandfather, and that there are so many useless troops of Cybermen. One should have been Saward kept putting them in! And SJ and Susan's costume - eurgh. Five Doctors is a personal favourite, but should be seen in the same light as Time-Crash. Great review and great insight. Chris from Toronto. They don't need to explain why the Cybermen are there - they were taken out of their own time to fight in the Death Zone. The thunderbolts in the Death Zone don't need an explanation - they're just part of the dangerous environs. I love that the 4th Doctor not being there makes the light go out. So yeah. He's there. The Time Lords decide to bring him in despite the fact that he is "one of the most evil and corrupt beings the Time Lord race has ever produced" and Gallifrey: No. 5 "crimes are without number and his villainy without end. On the condition that he rescues the Doctor. Send in one of those Time Lord Commandos or something. But giving it to The Master makes so much not-sense. AND to pardon him. AND to give him another set of regenerations? Complete insanity. There's some sloppy exposition, revealing that The got stuck between times during his abduction and he has to sit this one out and some other sundries. But really it's just talking heads and mad boring. So they send him off to the Death Zone. So from here on out, I'm going to divide up the story by Doctor sorta just in the interest of time. Here's my problem. Knowing Susan, she'd be pissed. Would you be pissed? I'd be pissed. I'd be so resentful. My god. And here she comes and here he comes and he's like "It's so good to see you" and she's like "It's so good to see you! It's just such lying about these two characters and it doesn't fit at all. That's the problem with this whole thing. She's in this, and there's literally no reason for it. Going through the rest of it, Susan doesn't do ANYTHING in the story, she's designed to be fan-wank and person-who-trips, but that too has zero effect on anything in the story. But that does make me laugh every time, so I'll give it that. And then a Dalek shows up, blasting its blaster and chasing after them. They run and eventually manage to push it into a corner, leading the Dalek to fire blindly for no reason and then to spin for no reason as its blaster goes off wildly for no reasonleading its laser blasts to bounce off the mirrors, exploding it. And that's the entire Dalek in this episode. It's pointless. When the Daleks show up it has to be for a reason or their Gallifrey: No. 5 is wasted. And it's ridiculously stupid and entirely pointless. The Gallifrey: No. 5 must have been: 20th Anniversary? Dalek has to show up. That's what's wrong with this serial. They stroll in to find The collapsed Gallifrey: No. 5 the sake of story, he thought someone was trying to erase him from history. In a saving moment, The turns to Tegan and asks her to get them all some refreshment personally, I wish he had said "Make me a sandwich" which is essentially what he says in terms of tone and suchbut it's funny that we all know he thought it. That's some classic Hartnell Doctor right there. There's some boring Gallifrey: No. 5 and arguing what to do while Tegan, Turlough, and Susan sit around eating food. Gallifrey: No. 5 would like to point out, that this is a ripe opportunity for The Fifth Doctor and the First Doctor to bounce off each other. Unfortunately, there's none of that. Comparing this to "The Three Doctors" and really, how could you not? Troughton and Pertwee are bouncing off each other constantlyand you really get a sense of their strengths as characters while also being highly resentful but respecting the other. This scene has none Gallifrey: No. 5 that. And really, let's assume for a minute that Hurndall is a convincing First Doctor Gallifrey: No. 5 not. On the page, there is no spark between them as characters. They're arguing and I can't even bring myself to care. From the Gallifrey: No. 5 Doctor's perspective, they decide to head for the Tomb of Rassilon that towerThe Fifth Doctor taking the middle entrance. He leaves with Susan and Tegan, but they come back after a bit, saying that the Fifth Doctor has been transmatted away. The Doctor yells at the Brigadier to get down, but he's grabbed by a . Luckily The Doctor manages to hit the Cyberman with a lead pipe enough to let the Brigadier go. They run Gallifrey: No. 5. They head into a cave, the gives some more exposition to the Brigadier expositioning that there are three entrances to Rassilon's Tomb: from above, from below, and through the main entrance. Can you see where this is going? But really, it's more an excuse to see more of his ridiculous fur coat. The Third Doctor is driving through the foggy moors of this Gallifreyan Death Zone, along conveniently placed Gallifrey: No. 5 did the Time Lords put them there? Who falls. As if she's fallen off Gallifrey: No. 5 cliff. This is what she falls down. Now I'm all for suspension of disbelief and realizing that Doctor Who in the Gallifrey: No. 5 days had zero money for its budget, but this stunt Gallifrey: No. 5 just completely ridiculous. The original script apparently called for a cliff, but that wasn't in the budget, so they found a shallow hill that poor Elizabeth Sladen has to sell as much Gallifrey: No. 5. That, alone, is pathetic. My God. That's dedication to a Gallifrey: No. 5. But seriously, it's so I don't say that the show always pulls Gallifrey: No. 5 off perfect, but they Gallifrey: No. 5 out a way to make it work, and it ends up being silly but also cool. This is just fail. Because this is a minute special there's no episode breaks. When divided into episodes, the first episode Gallifrey: No. 5 here, with her falling. I'm sorry, but that's just pathetic. The Third Doctor and Sarah Jane drive along, meet The Master and don't believe his offers to help, so he leaves him Gallifrey: No. 5 which is a nice touch because The Master was so much The Third Doctor's enemy Unfortunately they're attacked by an unknown aerial laser blast which they NEVER explain and have to walk. From their position they'll have to go over the mountains to get to Rassilon's Tomb. And then we get to what I consider one of the two best Gallifrey: No. 5 of the episode: The Raston Warrior . I don't want to say too much about it, except that if you're going to watch ONE this week, make it this. Basically The Gallifrey: No. 5 Doctor and Sarah Jane are traversing the Mountain to Gallifrey: No. 5 to the Tomb when they come upon this guy, and there's nothing about him that doesn't suck. Couple things. How incredible was that? Seriously, one of my favorite things ever, not even in this watch-through, although that too. That's awesome. And to continue meaningless plot, there's a part where they grab the Robot Warrior's darts to use later. And they never do. A Cyberman from the aftermath of the Raston Warrior Robot chases them. Sarah Jane rolls a stone at it great gag; just a weak roll and then a shrug and a "I missed" before zip lining inside. Her vertigo must be going nuts right now. 13 chapters in Gallifrey’s history | Doctor Who
