  • @xxkitkatkatexx in nearly all the Dr Who episodes that are set on Gallifrey are usually seen in the context of the Capitol Complex, the preserve of the Time Lords, rather than the planet itself where the ordinary Gallifreyan inhabitants live out their lives. Only the Shobogan camp where Leela and Rodan take refuge do we see `younger` Gallifreyans but not children per se.

  • have you noticed in all the old doctor who episodes on gallifrey you never see any children on gallifrey

  • @xxkitkatkatexx they're all in the academy

  • when the doctor had to destroy gallifrey by breaking the time feild WE WERE SO CLOSE TO SEEING ALL OF GALLIFREYS BEAUTY (that is if it was before the time war)

    i long for the day we get to see the doctor return to gallifrey and walk amongst the time lords, it would so great! and i dont think any actor on earth..no...IN THE UNIVERSE could put a smile on the doctors face when he gets to see his children again (;

  • The choice of the song is wonderful ! It makes everything so much more beautiful , it represent how Gallifrey was probably one of the greatest planet in the universe and how it was habited by great people (before the time war) but it also show how everything has disappeared...I watched the movie with the eigth regeneration after all the new series, and when I saw Gallifrey written on the computer of the Tardis showing how long it will took him to go to galligrey; I was so sad...

  • well done

  • how the hell did you mangae the footage about this? its brilliant. it looks real like cnn and some helicopters flew to gallifrey with cameras. Im favoriting this. definently. its makes me wonder if i missed an episode of doctor who.

  • are the buildings bigger on the inside?

  • It is the music from the girl in the fireplace.

  • how did you create that marvilous impersonation of gallifrey???

  • Nice video, very well done ! A melancholy music that fits the calm pictures...

  • This video is beautifull, but I think Gallifrey is so much beautifuller than what you take from Dune...

  • this is on in the backgroud as i read about the time war. :'(

  • I like this video.

  • What is this song called? please!!

  • I need to see Children of Dune now.

  • This is one of, if not, the single most beautiful songs i've ever heard. The video itself is amazing as well. I'm a huge fan of the more recent Doctor Who series, although i'm catching up slowly with the original series. Tennant ended it for me though, after all the seasons and specials he did, there just is no other Doctor to me. After he left i've yet to watch a single new episode with Smith as the Doctor.

  • Anyway thanks for posting this!

    Gallifrey is a beautifull panet!

  • No need to defend yourself viewed more than 67000 times. 274 thumbs up and only 8 down. Priceless......

  • looks liek galifrey in the beginnign *sheds a tear at david going* im gonna miss him

  • looks liek galifrey in the beginnign *sheds a tear at david going* im gonna miss him

  • I have to come back to watch this video once in a while. Beautifully done.

    It's a wonderful mix of the two different worlds that works so seemlessly with the music.

    Feels like a place you wish you could visit.

  • Well done. Thanks for posting.

  • The doctor said the timelords could fix paradoxes, so why didn't they go back and stop the time war. I know the doctor tried to prevent the creation of the daleks, but he failed.

  • @james227uk I think it's cause he can't go back into his own timeline.

  • @james227uk They'll probably say it was one of those Fixed Event things that HAVE to happen, like the 'Waters of Mars'

  • @Ereldor

    Yeah, I guess

  • This is absolutely gorgeous! I would love to know where you got much of the footage as I've always wanted to do something like this as a memorial to the Time Lords. Really couldn't compare to yours though. Thank you!

  • I love this vid!

    Why don't we change the world into a smaller version of Gallifrey? That would be beautiful! (:

    But I don't get it, if the timelords where so clever, why didn't they have colonies or something?

  • All the wanted to do was watch and not interfere. Colonies is more of a Human thing, which probably led to the Human empire.

  • Don't worry, the snowglobe is bigger on the inside.

  • @freakinmee

    It was explained in the classic series - the Time Lords were the oldest and highest species in existence - but they stayed on Gallifrey and watched the universe, they never went out and took part in it. Except some of them did, and were hunted by the other Time Lords (I'm talking about the Doctor, the Master, the Rani, Romana, etc)

  • They were very insular, they didn't want to travel outside of their system as far as I know. They eventually because detached from the outside world and were unprepared for attack. At least that's what I've heard. I'm probably wrong.

  • @Abengoshis your right but the timelord academy did open up to other lifeforms before the war !

  • in the words of the doctor himself "BRILLIANTT"

  • practically its murray gold and the song is called maddame de pompadour

  • What is the title of this song and who is the composer?

  • it´s unbearable to see the doctor suffering. hope so much he will be able to return...

  • What episode was this from? The planet scenes. I dont remember off hand

  • The Time lords are returning, but they're destroying time to do it. So the Doctor's probably going to have to destroy them, all over again.

    Even if they do return, the majesty of what they once were will never return.

  • is this music from girl in the fireplace?

  • i think so yeah it is

  • yes it is

  • all is not lost because the timelords survived.

  • all is not lost. the timelords survived.

  • I honestly wish that Earth was this serene and ordered, its a shame that our own planet has been made so dam ugly. Wonderful vid.

  • Its back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • its so sad that the timelords were cursed right from the beginning.

  • its so sad that the timelords were cursed right from the beginning.

  • wow that's great! It makes it seem like a fairytale...a lullaby or something...

  • .. Its beautiful. i can see now why the doctor misses it so much.

    ~Martha368. XoxO.

  • Great vid! Is that the music from THE GIRL IN THE FIREPLACE, Season 2?

  • you've probably figured it out, but yes, the track is "Madame de Pompadour", number 19 on "Doctor Who Original Television Soundtrack (which covers both Series 1 and 2 of the new series) the first of 3 soundtracks for the new series that have been released so far ^^

  • This is a really great vid. Enjoyed seeing the city and lovely music

  • wow.

    this...this is an absolutely beautiful video...I'm putting this on my Mp3 player...

    I dream of a day The Doctor returns to Gallifrey, somehow, someway...I just wish it would have been Tennant to do it... :'(

  • @Voshra For god's sake. There's so many Tennant fan-girls out there. I'm a massive who fan. Probably a bigger fan than you, but seriously. The Doctor is not real. Atleast,not in this universe. You dream of a day when Tennant's doctor returns to gallifrey? Oh c'mon. The Doctor is fictional,as is Gallifrey.

  • @Voshra it might be, they could make another three doctors! :P

  • @Voshra o my god why does everyone thing that tennant was the best doctor,i mean sure he was brilliant but he isnt the best to evertybody,theres loads of good doctors.Tom baker ,Matt smith etc.by the way nice vid

  • @liverpool12301 meh, he brought the most passion to the role. nuff said.

  • @Voshra -- Agreed. :)

    Though I think that's the reason we find Gallifrey so intriguing: he can't go back. The mystery and wonder of a world we will never see is intoxicatingly fascinating to us. I think it's better left for us to dream and wonder what Gallifrey is like because that's where the magic is. :)

  • @Voshra He does return to gallifrey in the old series, infact there is loads about it.

  • i heard Gallifrey and some Timelords will return in Chirstmas special 2009

  • They do.

  • an unknow planet somewhere the time lords protect time makeing eveything smoothly

  • Fantastic song!  I so enjoyed watching the scenes from Frank Hubert's Dune.

  • Comment removed

  • i feel sorry for The Doctor, he lost his home, his people, his family and his friends after the Time War R.I.P Gallifrey and the Timelords

  • But now its in ruins, the last of the Time Lords.

  • what are you guys banging on about

  • its a real shame. I never got to see what Gallifrey looked like :( It had gone by the time I was born. My poor lonely doctor, I miss him as much as he misses gaillifrey :(

  • this is from the girl in the fire place lovely peice

  • Some of the footage is from Vulcan and Alderaan innit? Both lost planets ...

    Love how you've combined all of it so it looks so seemless :D

  • no wot it was was when the darleks attacket gallifray the time war came about n all these other species got involved and like killed eah other.Gallifray got destroyed just by th whoe worlds fighting thing. he wasznt forbidded he had to stay away becuz he cant change key history points in time. he fought and surrvived.

  • !!SPOILER!! That is kinda stupid now the new episode has came out ( Waters of mars ) because he states clearly he doesn't give 2 shits about time since the law people ( Dont know their names ) died in the war too, That is my guess but he says that they died but he doesnt say HOW. Although If that episode didn't come out I would definately agree with you :P

  • wow you know nothing about the show do you?

  • woah cool thx 5*

  • Hallo, this video is fake the people were full brown, and galifray was destroyed by the darlicks in the timewar and the doctor was the only surviver and he was phorbidded from going to the planet after breaking there laws by causing trouble on other planets

  • Darlicks? hahahahaha the mental image that gives me...

  • how can you say something is wrong , when you know nothing about the media your saying is being said wrong , how is this video a fake , why is it ? ITS NOT , humanhorrormovie made this video as a couple of recycled clips to show what it looked like . please figure out if your right before you end up looking like a tard ! ... Darlicks !?

  • if the people were brown why is the doctor white? They could be any colour.

    Darlicks? Daleks.

    Phorbidden? Forbiggend.

    And he isnt forbidden for breaking laws on other planets, the war is timelocked. Meaning if its all ready happened you cant go back to it, the only way to be there is if your life takes you there and its before its happend.

    ..Wow, learn something knew yet?

  • well the doctor burned the dalek race but at a cost the timelords and gallifrey burned with them but gallifrey is returning and dr who might become more like classic dr who (thank god!)

    i loved this vid and it made me cry since I can't remeber the last time i have been on my home planet buit all i remember is the master and my two regenerations and also my travles between the two regenerations as my 11th form and now as my 12th form.

    nice vid. made me smile and ty i remember gallifrey 1 tear.

  • This is just what I can picture Gallifrey looking like.

    Now I'm acting like it's a real place.

  • Brillant Job, although I don't think that the Time Lords used reguluar ships after TARDIS's were made, it's much safer to materilize in and out of citys then it is to open the gates when they have waste lands surrounding the citys. Other then that really good job. I saw this on anouther site you posted on, glad you have it on youtube as well!

  • aww its lovley and beautiful

    no wonder the doctor misses it

  • i thought the docter destroyed it.. not the daleks.. ???

    i thought that the doctor blew his home world, the rest of the timelords and gallifrey up to hell?

    sorry if im wrong.. anyone care 2 explain plz?

  • No, it was the Daleks that destroyed Galifrey, really the only crime the doctor ever did against Galifrey was stealing the TARDIS. That's really it. Any way, Galifrey was destroyed in the Time War by the Daleks, which is the reason the doctor was so intent on hurting that Dalek in CE's dalek episode.

  • He destroyed Gallifrey in the Time War, as he thought it would completely destroy the Daleks with it, but then they returned and he realised he had done it for nothing. Hope that helps.

  • thought that was sort of hinted in the second to last episode of season 3 (2005 series)

  • It always sounds like he had the chance to destroy the Daleks, but only if he would also destroy his civilization.

    And he made his decision. Don't know what I had done...

  • why would he do that?

  • i going to make a rpg about Gallifrey

  • @jamiecisback I would do anything for a well made doctor who rpg!!!

  • hey thats from Dune!!!!!!!

  • I can't take my eyes off this, I could watch it over and over! It looks so real and so much like a real civilisation. I agree with RavensMorgue, a true work of art!

  • Absolutely stunning!

  • This is a true work of art!!! Stunning!

  • NEVER FORGET!!!

  • I'm going to do a painting of how I interpreted gallifrey in the doctors description.

    This should be fun!

  • Stunningly done and well inline with how the New Series represent's Gallifrey...as opposed to the old treacherous buracratic stuffy oiks they were in the old series.

  • I pictured it more foresty and the grassy and the citys weher right in the middle surrounded by trees with the trees shining like a forest on fire and mountains singing.

  • did you know that in the 1rst and2nd series the doctors granddaughter was his compainan

  • whatever happened to his granddaughter?

  • dead

  • He left her after saving the humans from the daleks invading earth, he said he would come back but he never did, did he? I'd love to have Susan (her) explained in the new series, I bet the chances are she's the child of the doctor's genetic clone daughter brought back in time and raised by the 1st doctor.

  • she basically sorta came back to him in the 5 doctors ( a peter davison story)

  • He will visit Susan in the upcoming Big Finish Audio Drama, An Earthly Child starring Paul McGann.

  • She came back in 5 doctors remember, but then what happened to her... I haven't watched much of the classic series but no a fair bit

  • No, she's definitely his genetic granddaughter. In the new series, the doctor keeps hinting about how he used to a father, and how he was married at one time. why would they do all that, just to go and explain a long time companion and fan favourite with some dumb one off character from the fourth series?

  • timelords are humoidos meaning they look like humans

  • According to the Docto,Timelords don't look like humans,but humans look like Doctors.I think it was in season one with Christopher Eccelston that he said that.I can't remember.

  • Planet of the Dead

    Christina: "But you look human."

    Doctor: "You look Timelord."

  • beutiful, ive read a lot of the comments, they mention gallifrey being time locked and the master ther Rani only 12 regenerations and a bunch of other 'rules'......... ru kidding me if the writers want to bring back gallifrey, the rani, the master any of it they will becuz they can. series 5 is gonna be rough, so hold on! haha brilliant!

  • Where are the video clips from, or is it just from a single movie?

    Loved it by the way :D

  • Wheres the collection of video clips from or is it just the one movie?

    Love it by the way. :D

  • The question is not why do Time Lords look like humans but rather why do humans look like Time Lords? ;-)

  • timelords are humoidos meaning they look like humans

  • i dont get it i mean why do timelords look so much like humans

  • They don't; humans look like Time Lords

  • timelords are humoidos meaning they look like humans

  • just how i imagined it =P

    beautiful

    oxo

  • i imagined gallifry to be snowy but not staying and top have massive forests and not rock like terrains (Like shown on your one).

    But still amzing! :)

  • The Galifrey that was in the end of series 3, was exactly how I imagine it, incredibly beautifull!! Thats why Russell T Davis is so good at this job, he is a genius! I will really miss him when he goes!

  • great video

    what's the name of this song?

  • It's in the girl in the fireplace (series 2) - I think it's called madame de pompadour

  • Beautiful!  I damn near got misty.

  • just like i pictured it.. a city of gold... :')

  • The Doctor cannot go back for two reasons. First there is nothing there, and second... the TARDIS has the rules of time built into the machine. One of them being "A Time Lord cannot go back in time to any of Gallifrey's Historical Events". The doctor cannot even go back to just look at it.

  • Is it not just time locked lol

    I hope theres more of gallifrey in the new series XD

  • Even if he could find someway against those rules he still couldnt because after the time war Gallifrey was completely removed from time, like it was never there. Trivia :D

  • well one of the darleks managed to do it so I think the Doctor will as well :D great video love the music

  • one of the daleks went insane a well...

  • There's a guy I used to work with who basically couldn't believe that the timelords wouldn't have either had a back up plan or the tech etc. Maybe this could also be a way for punishing the doc for his traveling etc.

  • Fantastic!  Thanks for uploading.

  • Why go back when no one is there? All the other time lords were killed in the Time War. The planet is probably a wasteland.

  • isn't that the city from "Dune"

  • Yes it is.

  • what music is this, btw?

  • This music is from the Doctor Who Original Television Soundtrack for the first and second seasons. The name of the song is Madame De Pompadour (track 19). It was used in the episode "The Girl In The Fireplace" season 2 episode 4.

  • So what music is this? It sounds familiar...and lilting. Is it on the series music CD?

  • the music is called "madame de pompadour" you can find it on the doctor who series one and two soundtrack.

  • it's called "madame de pompadour" its on the doctor who series one and two soundtrack.

  • Even if gallifrey did exist the moment the doctor set foot on it he would probably be arrested for all his companions, dang he probably is like gallifrey's most wanted for that stuff

  • the doctor lived in a snow globe?

  • If the doctor is shot with a RPG( Rocket Launcher ) He can't regenerate remember the master had a choice, but being blown to pieces obviously gives him no option but to die

  • maybe you should remember that if the doctor is shot with a rocket launcher he does'nt have the chance to regenerate Soo... I dont see how some think he is immortal

  • I can't give it enough stars!! AHHHHH

  • is this real gilifreyean clips? if so what episode is it from cuz it looks hlaf galifrey half not

  • great vid this is the song from the episode of madame du pompedore wasnt it

    brought a tear to my eye so sad thinking back to everything the doctor has lost.

  • lol so many people are spoling the suprises for 2010 and the specials coming up..by saying whats what just wait be paticent its more exiting that it

  • this was almost as good as actually being there.

    very cool video

  • Mua'Dib Vs the Doctor in a battle for earth. Could be interesting

  • this is awsome. very dramatic. brought a tear to my eye. wht music is that?

  • i wanna kno too,please

  • in which episodes there was this music? I just can't remember....

    and it's a beautifull clip, when I was watching I almost cried beacause I imagined everything he has lost and of course the music was part of it.

  • I thought that Gallifrey could be cloaked in someway to look like it gone forever to fool the Doctor into believing it got blown up in the Time War. May have got done by The Master and The Rani for all their purposes. Gallifrey use to be in The War Games Starring Patrick Troughton and The Deadly Assassin Starring Tom Baker and The Five Doctors Starring

    Peter Davison. It would be a great way to bring Gallifrey back in Doctor Who. I would bring back Gallifrey like that.

  • galliffrey cant come back becasue it has been time locked even the doctor can t get into it dalek caan broke the lock and rescued a fellow dalek but went mad but also gained foresight images into the future

  • Isint there another dimension where the timelords still exist?

  • I've heard the Rani is coming in 2010 played this time by Gillian Anderson from The X File use to be Scully in The X Files.

    The last time we saw the Rani as the older long running fans of Doctor Who will remember that The Rani was tied up in her own TARDIS in The Time and The Rani that starred Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor back in the year 1987.

    She wasn't involved in the Time War I don't think we never saw her involved with The Time War. It could be that not all Timelords died then.

  • Look Up Doctor who dimensions in time. The last time anyone saw the Rani her tardis got sucked into the grinage miridiam. However, dimensions in time has also been argued about it's continuity. But I use my imagination to think that This is why the Rani Could have missed/survived the TIME WAR. You know being stuck in another dimension and all.....

  • ...to visit the planet at a time before the Time War.

  • To quote the Doctor: "Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey...Stuff"

  • so...Jell-o time is jell-o? what flavor, for the doctor i hope it's not pears

  • Has anyone considered that time-locking Gallifrey and the Time War is a massive paradox. If Gallifrey has been plucked out of the space-time continuum then it effectively never existed therefore the doctor could never have left the planet in the first place. As a result he would never have encountered the Daleks who, before that meeting, didn't believe in life on other planets. We know that Gallifrey has been completely removed from time because if it hadn't been the Doctor would be able...

  • what bout the doctor's half-daughter and his granddaughter???

  • isn't they a rumor of his grandaughter being adopted

  • The song is haunting. I really enjoyed how you pieced together clips of Gallifrey and Dune. Fantastic job!

  • If you watch the classic series the timelords were the only people to keep the doctor in order

  • Contrary to popular belief, Gallifrey was NOT a "beautiful" world. Most of its surface was a charred wasteland left over from the ancient civil wars centuries earlier. That's why the only city on the surface was in a glass dome. The sky was burnt orange from fallout and nuclear radiation. The ancient Timelords were evil beings who used to kidnap creatures from different time periods and make them fight in gladiatorial games, until Raissilon (the first Timelord) changed things.

  • You say that as if Gallifrey is a real place, how come?

  • very true words, theres so much about doctor who people dont think about

  • Wow, that's interesting, never knew that. Probably cuz I've seen very few of the classic episodes. Thanx very much for the info!

  • Funny...Gallifrey looks a lot like Dune.

    If Mua'Dib finds out about this vid, his Fedaykin warriors will smash Youtube into oblivion. When you find a crysknife at your throat, don't blame me!

  • fiction so easy to change

  • dont forget about the Parrell Universe/s! there is still hundreds of Gallifreys uo there, just not the exact same!

  • I wonder if they live in a snowglobe too

  • oh yh- n it ses about 'race' in school reunion. "i allways thought of u as such a pompus race"

    so im not sure the source u red was reliable hilljamie94! :D

  • That was beautiful!

  • muad'dib... muad'dib... muad'dib!
