The Gallifrey saga is continuing at Big Finish,  as Louise Jameson returns to the Time Lords’ home world.

Gallifrey’s moral compass is lost, Rassilon rules, and Romana is gone. But it’s not the end, it’s just the beginning. A brand-new full-cast audio drama series begins in July 2022.

In the first set of Gallifrey: War Room, Leela returns, still reeling from losing Romana in the Time War. Held captive and forced to fight on behalf of a corrupt Lord President, she hasn’t yet given up on her mission to save Gallifrey from both the Daleks… and Rassilon.

Joining Louise Jameson (reprising her role as Leela) are Ken Bones (as the General), Beth Chalmers (as Veklin), Chris Jarman (as Rasmus), Carolyn Pickles (as Ollistra) and Nicholas Briggs (as the voice of the Daleks).

Gallifrey is at war. At the heart of the Capitol, the War Room co-ordinates the fight against the Daleks. Leela has been forced into service, alongside the General and his soldiers, taking orders from Cardinals Rasmus and Ollistra. But this being Gallifrey, politics are never forgotten. Some serve Rassilon, some serve themselves, and some have their own cause. The Time War will test them all. 

Producer Heather Challands said: “We heard the end of Leela’s fight in The War Doctor: Casualties of War. We saw the end of the General’s fight in The Day of the Doctor. The War Room is the heart of Gallifrey’s manoeuvres and finally we are going to understand how all that strategy will play out.”

Gallifrey: War Room 1 is now available to pre-order for just £24.99 (on CD + download) or £19.99 (on download), exclusively from the Big Finish website.
