Gallifrey
Gallifrey is a fictional planet in the long-running
British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The planet is
home to both the Doctor, and others of his race, the Time Lords. It
is supposed to be located in the constellation of Kasterborous, at
"galactic coordinates ten-zero-eleven-zero-zero by zero-two from
galactic zero centre", some 250 million light years away from
Earth. During the first decade of the television series, the Doctor's
home planet was not identified by name. The name was first used in
the 1973 serial The Time Warrior.
It is never definitively stated "when" the
appearances of Gallifrey in the television series take place. As the
planet is often reached by means of time travel it could conceivably
exist anywhere in the past or future relative to our present. The
spin-off novels seem to take the stance that Gallifrey is in the relative
past.
