Big Finish Productions has released the third box set in the Worlds of Doctor Who – Gallifrey: War Roomseries, set during the Time War between Gallifrey and Skaro. This brand-new box set, starring Louise Jameson as Leela and Lalla Ward as Romana, finds the war raging on and the high-ranking Time Lords scheming to take control of their own side.
Cardinal Ollistra (Carolyn Pickles) is now in charge of the War Room, and the others must either follow her instructions or find a way to unseat her. Meanwhile, Rassilon has returned and has become frustrated about how slow the war is progressing.
This new full-cast audio box set features the following four episodes:
Propaganda by Georgia Cook – Unrest is brewing in Low Town, partly due to a rogue broadcast mocking Rassilon. This causes the outraged Rassilon (Richard Armitage) to demand its immediate identification and destruction.
At the same time, Rasmus (Chris Jarman), the General (Ken Bones) and Cresta (Faith Omole) become trapped in the Drylands, and as riots break out in the streets, Ollistra (Carolyn Pickles) makes an effort to consolidate her power in the War Room.
Resistance by Katharine Armitage – While Eris attempts to pull together the collapsing Resistance, Ollistra is trying to break it apart. With both leaders determined to bring victory to their sides, it leaves others deciding where their loyalties lie.
L to R: Sean Carlsen, Ken Bones, Nicholas Cowell, Carolyn Pickles, Faith Omole, Beth Chalmers, and Janet Amsden.
Hope by Fio Tretheway – Leela has been given a task to do, but she can’t complete it on her own. With time not on her side, she enlists the help of a most unlikely ally. Should she fail, it will doom everyone.
Eye for an Eye by Matt Fitton – Everything is becoming a mess as sides collapse and missions don’t go as planned. Ollistra must follow Rassilon’s demand to see the Resistance fall, Leela and Rasmus are missing, and the General and Veklin are given a mission that they’d rather not do.
Lalla Ward
