Not only is Gallifrey an important location in the story, but the TARDIS, herself, is. But by episode’s end, there is the suggestion, that she is falling in love with a Time Lord, and elects to stay behind. Leela leaves the Citadel, and walks on the surface of Gallifrey, itself, only to discover that there are ex-Time Lords there, living without technology, settling nicely into a familiar way of life hunting/gathering that seems to appeal to Leela. But after vanquishing them, a familiar enemy appears to make their own run at the home of the Time Lords… the Sontarans! It seems all of this is designed to allow an alien race known as the Vardan, whom the Doctor pretends to be working with, come to Gallifrey, where their threat will be ended once and for all. But it’s all part of a gambit, that if not played right, could see the destruction of the Time Lords!! From there we travel home to Gallifrey, where the Doctor plans to assume his duly elected role of President. There’s something odd going on with the Doctor in this episode, he’s a little brusque with Leela, and we see him meeting with some unidentified people/creatures at the start of the story.
The story sees the Doctor (Baker) return to Gallifrey, and also by story’s end, sees the departure of Leela (Louise Jameson) and this model of K9. We come to the conclusion of season 15 of the classic series, with a six-part story by David Agnew, that ran from 4 February to 11 March, 1978.
