Gallifrey - The Audio Series

The Devil You Know. Ouch. Just ouch. Someone give Louise Jameson all the awards in the world because that was incredible. Leela my beloved. This is such a good episode for her and one I will have to analyse deeper at some point. Pairing her with the Master is incredible, they are so opposites that they work really well. I want to kill him though. How DARE you do that. really just incredible. very interesting how these last two used a rather limited cast and setting, I like it. nothing more to say because I do in fact have to do the next one immediately. Leela :sob:

  • alright here we go
  • very interested how the master fits into gallifrey
  • oh Narvin begging
  • oh yeah this is good
  • just as you underestimate me yeah they are not pulling they’re punches
  • the doctor refused to help me :sob: I want to know how that went
  • we have no choices
  • this whole conversation is incredible
  • that sounds dire
  • yeah
  • what’s this
  • yeah it’s not going to be that easy to convince the Master
  • the way Romana says Master is very interesting
  • like with a certain reverance and hate at the same time
  • it’s so funny how Narvin is now the one with morals not Romana
  • I second that
  • please do be careful Leela
  • :laughing: I love that Leela immediately starts insulting the Master
  • and that she can read him like no one else
  • she really does know people so well
  • she’ll be fine stop saying that you’re scaring me
  • Leela and the Master are a very entertaining combination
  • oh what is it now
  • what
  • oh that’s weird
  • well that’s not creepy at all
  • caught between the devil and the deep blue sea didn’t know that’s how that saying goes in english
  • oh interesting that she says she was a warrior of the sevateem
  • because she usually uses the present tense
  • even now so much later
  • oh ■■■■
  • now what is the history here
  • and it’s not very nice to send Leela without that information
  • oh no they have different history
  • that’s messed up
  • I grew to know them sorry I’m just thinking about her history
  • time lords are not monsters adadsafdsafew
  • I still go insane when they call each other friends
  • the thing about the Master is that he is a very good villain but I always sort of wish he’d shut up
  • it’s very compelling how he’s manipulating by being honest here
  • do not ■■■■■■■ trust him
  • good boy excuse me
  • this is very well paralled here
  • oh I hate him
  • disrespecting Leela is the easiest way to make me despise a character
  • very fair reaction
  • but also I’m thinking of her becoming more and more Time Lord again
  • Leela should get to stab the Master
  • but I hope I can help her voice is so soft
  • truly time weapons and the time war in general are such concepts I love it so much
  • I am not dear to you
  • what is the Master’s plan here
  • the thing is that Leela is kind but she definitely also has a cruel streak
  • I am loyal to Romana asfsfewfewa
  • this is tense
  • oh ■■■■
  • what is he doing
  • what does he want
  • god just the way she is completely loyal to Romana
  • not Gallifrey not what is good not Narvin but Romana
  • the way he’s still just after the Doctor
  • what is he planning
  • that doesn’t sound good
  • no no no
  • that is so evil
  • leave her alone
  • Romana will hunt you down yeah so will I
  • stop
  • oh shit
  • oh god her cries are so painful
  • that is incredible acting
  • Leela :sob:
  • I will kill the Master I tell you
  • Leela
  • oh they sound so
  • oh god Romana’s voice
  • and Narvin’s anger
  • what have I done :sob:

I’ve listened to the first two of those but they were definitely not this strong. It’ll be interesting to see how the later ones compare. (I am still doing the 4DAs I just keep jumping between fifty different series)

Told youuuuuuu

I hope you enjoy TW2, that’s of of my fav ever Gallifrey series even if it’s Leela-less :sob:

and finishing Time War 1 with Desperate Measures. Great stuff. Narvin and Romana are in top form, we’re very political again, all of it is very series three. Romana negotiating with the Daleks is amazing, and it really does show her qualities as a leader. Because she knows precisely how evil the Daleks are, no one hates them more than her, but she is willing to do what is best for Gallifrey anyway. Narvin is great here, I love the way he oscillates between given Romana opposition while also being so loyal to her. He cares so much. Missed Leela </3

and that Rassilon reveal at the end, I am very much anticipating what will come out of that that is great stuff

  • shit Dalek voices can be loud
  • it’s interesting to hear their side of the war too
  • they were such an unknown evil up to now in this series
  • oh shit unit 117
  • what is she doing
  • also truly since extermination she has reacted better to them
  • more in control but also much less morals
  • but maybe that’s the war
  • oh Narvin I love you
  • where’s your mistress? adfsafdsaf dying here
  • oh he is so sputtering I want to shake him around
  • goes against everything Romana ever stood for the way she is his compass
  • oh they haven’t told anyone about Leela
  • these chimes in the background are kind of annoying
  • knocking appears to be an art :laughing:
  • that doesn’t sound good
  • oh does Livia want to resign
  • gallifrey and its technicalities
    • oh he’s very good Romana* very interesting way to put that
  • oh Ace would’ve known :sob:
  • also like they don’t actually know she got out they think she’s dead
  • they have such great verbal spats
  • like an old married couple
  • also the way she has to try to be president again
  • this is heartbreaking
  • it would be a desperate measure
  • what does she have to do know
  • also Ollistra mention
  • don’t know them yet but I’ve heard the name around
  • oh ■■■■ she’s going to have another suicide plan
  • I kind of saw that coming
  • yeah his chronic lack of knocking
  • what is he doing
  • they’re trying to conscript Narvin?!
  • that’s messed up
  • yeah how did Brax leave actually
  • also truly they must be so lonely and grieved at this point
  • you never do :sob: and he never will he always does everything for her
  • oh shit that password
  • yeah she is messed up
  • it is so interesting that she and Brax are the only Time Lords who would ever negotiate
  • and it means so much that SHE will let them live
  • with diplomacy and intelligent she is so good at insulting people
  • also Narvin taking on young agents
  • he is quite good at that
    • and I was their prisoner*
  • oh that is a low blow
  • and in my mind every prisoner who survived is worth more than anyone who fought the Daleks
  • and she escaped by her own ■■■■■■■ power
  • what is Livia’s problem here
  • he is a ■■■■■■■ populist he’s no better
  • I mean really neither is Romana but she might very well the best option in this situation
  • this might be significantly easier if they could stop backstabbing
  • oh Narvin is so panicked
  • shit
  • well that’s bad
  • Brax!!
  • this is becoming something of a habit yeah I was about to say that
  • yeah Romana I get it
  • love Narvin being the one saving her
  • she’s loyal to Gallifrey. a little too loyal you’re one to speak
  • Brax is so flighty
  • ouch that is very sad
  • what is it now
  • what the hell is she doing
  • oh ■■■■
  • that’s going to be Rassilon taking him over isn’t it
  • it definitely is
  • well that’s bad

And don’t forget the classic ‘Leela :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:’ which goes round my head

I’m not complaining mind :wink:

I’ve just relistened to the first episode of Gallifrey Time War 2 – I’d forgotten how much I love Romana and Narvin’s relationship in this era. Hard to decide which I prefer: them working together in TW2, or their hostility in the earlier series of Gallifrey. Leela is of course sorely missed though :sob:

I’ve actually been relistening to TW2 lately as well, and it is in my mind objectively the best Gallifrey TW set. TW3 is ny favourite but TW2 is just really really good. Narvin and Romana are so ridiculous - the way they rely on each other makes me so insane. Plus I think all the stories are really good, and connect well - they don’t suffer from the other TW boxset issue which is that they feel disjointed as hell. And of course Eris is in TW2 also <3

Y’all were right about series 2! As I’ve been posting in the audio club threads, I’m loving it a lot so far

obsessed with the way time war 1 is just one terrible thing after the next happening to Romana and Narvin by the way. first the time war starts and they lose a lot of power, then they think Ace and Leela die, then they lose the last bit of control they still have and ■■■■■■■ Rassilon comes back. They just can’t catch a break

Good news! They never will catch a break ever :slight_smile:

In that case I might have to give them a break myself… (write fanfic)
on the other hand I could torture Narvin hmmmm[1]


  1. or Romana that appears to be much more my brand ↩︎
