Have fun Gally Fans
Noticed in the article it says "In association with BBC Studios"

I was wondering about that too. Anyone know what it means? This hasn't been the case with all New Series releases has it? If it involves things seen on TV yes it has but the Time War in this instance is only the concept unless its because its using Rassalion?

I'm glad I got round to the first boxset before interviewing Sophie Aldred and Matthew Waterhouse at BF Day.
I was all set to ask Sophie about working with Lou and Lalla on the first boxset...

It says 'Jewel case in slipcover' so not separate CDs, or artwork presumably. Volume still had individual covers though, and it was a jewel case. True and it wasn't alone at that time (though don't ask me now what the other(s) were.) Perhaps it was caught in the switchover from single case to more multi-case releases? So the artwork had already been prepared before the case style was decided on.
One good thing about these multi-CD jewel case releases - they go through our letterbox, no problem!
Maybe the "In association with BBC Studios" note indicates this will be a (technically or financially) shared production, like many big-budget TV series have several broadcasters listed at the end of the credits??? Just a guess.

Perhaps they are using BBC Recording Studios now since they seem to have such a vast output perhaps its the BBC studio facilities they are recording in?

Sound like BBC are trying to move in on BFs territory they wont be happy till they have obliterated the BF Logo from the covers which is now less prominent

The beauty is if Terrence wasn't in mind by the time the last boxset was recorded, Don Warrington said no, Dalton said no - none of that matters - anyone could have played Rassilon and the producers wouldn't have effectively written themselves into a hole.
But it's a great coup, I have fond memories of The Demon Headmaster growing up.
And I am OBSESSED with the series, so glad we have plenty more to come!

Only downside for me is that it isn’t being released along with the Master & the Eighth Doctor Time War sets as I loved the whole idea of them all interconnecting.
I guess they still could, but that seems unlikely now.

I'm ever so slightly disappointed it wasn't Don Warrington just for the connective tissue but it actually makes more sense that it wasn't him - all of the Time War Rassilons (Hardiman, Timothy Dalton and the Maester of Winterfell) are probably (spoiler for Gallifrey: TW #1) Valerian's incarnations anyway... Hope Leela pops back up in the last episode of this box set, if only for them to write her out again down the line in accordance with her appearance in the War Doctor series. She's really the heart of the Gallifrey series; as much as I love Romana and Narvin, I think it needs Leela too.

Lots of the new series stuff has been mentioned as "in association with BBC Studios", and the BBC Studios logo appears on all the physical releases (including classic series stuff). I think it's just a legal obligation rather than indicative of everything else.

I guess they still could, but that seems unlikely now. I don't know, we did already get one crossover (of sorts) with War Master 1 and Gallifrey Time War 1, and those were released a few months apart. For the upcoming releases, I think there's still plenty of room in the schedule to allow for it: Dec 2018 - War Master 2 Mar 2019 - Gallifrey: Time War 2 Jul 2019 - Eighth Doctor: Time War 3 Jul 2019 - War Master 3 Jul 2019 - Legacy of Time (this shows in the list of future Gallifrey releases) Dec 2019 - War Master 4 Feb 2020 - Gallifrey: Time War 3 Jul 2020 - Eighth Doctor: Time War 4 Feb 2021 - Gallifrey: Time War 4

I guess they still could, but that seems unlikely now. I know the argument of "Time War, so Time's all over the place" could be used here, but given the nature of the story of The War Master: Series 1 and the fact that it takes place during the first Gallifrey - The Time War set, Series 2-4 of the War Master stuff will be taking place earlier in that incarnation's personal timeline, so it doesn't really make any sense for him to be getting involved in later Time War shenanigans in Gallifrey. As for the Eighth Doctor stories, my interpretation was that they were definitely set further into the war, so it seems unlikely that it will be able to tie in to the Galifrey series either, which is currently exploring the origins/earlier days of the War. I mean, they could still cross them over, but it wouldn't make a lot of sense continuity-wise if they did.

I was just thinking yesterday that I hoped there would be an announcement about more Gallifrey soon. Now, less than 24 hours later, I have three new pre-orders on my account. Impressive response time, BF!

Romana notes there’s already been centuries-worth of fighting by the end of Volume 1, so the already released Eighth Doctor stuff could easily fit in there. The Eighth Doctor Series has seemed a bit isolated from the other Time War releases so far so would be nice to see some links.

I notice the absence of a certain Nicholas Briggs in that cast list....

The lack of Daleks makes me wonder if Volume 2 is going to be more political and it’s all about Gallifrey gaining allies in the Time War. The resurrection of Rassilon to lead the Time Lords to victory would make for very good propaganda, certainly.
It would be interesting if the recruiting of allies also involves sending the message cubes out to bring back Time Lords away from Gallifrey. That would be a nice link to All Hands on Deck and Susan.
I do suspect the Eighth Doctor stuff will cross over at some point. At the moment it’s very much its own thing, and I think it’s perhaps a little weaker because of it.
