Loyalties are challenged in the latest Doctor Who audio drama from Big Finish, titled Gallifrey – War Room.
Big Finish Productions has unveiled the third box set in the Worlds of Doctor Who – Gallifrey: War Room series, which takes place during the Time War between Gallifrey and Skaro. This new box set stars Louise Jameson as Leela and Lalla Ward as Romana, with the conflict intensifying and the high-ranking Time Lords scheming for control of their faction.
Cardinal Ollistra (Carolyn Pickles) now leads the War Room, with others either obliged to follow her orders or plotting her downfall. Meanwhile, Rassilon has returned and is growing impatient with the slow pace of the war.
This full-cast audio box set comprises four episodes:
**Propaganda by Georgia Cook** – Unrest rises in Low Town, partly due to a rogue broadcast ridiculing Rassilon. This prompts an enraged Rassilon (Richard Armitage) to demand its swift identification and elimination. Concurrently, Rasmus (Chris Jarman), the General (Ken Bones), and Cresta (Faith Omole) find themselves trapped in the Drylands, as riots break out in the streets. Ollistra (Carolyn Pickles) strives to strengthen her hold on the War Room.
**Resistance by Katharine Armitage** – As Eris works to unify the crumbling Resistance, Ollistra seeks to dismantle it. With both leaders intent on achieving victory for their respective sides, others are left to navigate their loyalties.
**Hope by Fio Tretheway** – Leela has a mission but cannot accomplish it alone. As time runs short, she seeks the aid of an unexpected ally. Failure would spell doom for everyone involved.
**Eye for an Eye by Matt Fitton** – Chaos ensues as factions disintegrate and missions go awry. Ollistra is compelled to satisfy Rassilon’s demand for the Resistance’s defeat, Leela and Rasmus are unaccounted for, and the General and Veklin are assigned a task they’d prefer to avoid.
The cast of this new box set also features Beth Chalmers as Commander Veklin, Seán Carlsen as Narvin, Mark Hawkins as Eris, and Faith Omole as Cresta, alongside Anthony Howell, Tom Alexander, Veronica Roberts, Robyn Cooper, Samuel Clemens, Nicholas Cowell, and Janet Amsden.
Gallifrey: War Room: Loyalties is available for purchase on the Big Finish website for £19.99 for the download or £24.99 for the download along with a limited collector’s edition box set. Bundle options for the collection, which includes the fourth title set to release in January 2027, are also offered.
