Time Lord
The Time Lords are a fictional, ancient extraterrestrial people in the British science fiction television series ''Doctor Who'', of which the series' protagonist, the Doctor, is a member. Time Lords receive their name for their non-linear perception of time, which allows them to see everything that was, is, or could be at the same time, as shown in the 1996 movie ''Doctor Who''. They developed a culture of custodianship and time-related technologies based on this perception which includes strictly controlled space/time travel machines (known as "TARDISes") and monitoring devices to travel through time and to prevent time from being subverted or abused—although actual action was described as rare in practice due to their traditional policy of strict non-interference and neutrality. They can act to manipulate timelines of a wide range of events and individuals, so long as they do not cross back into their own timeline.
Originally they were described as a powerful and wise race from the planet Gallifrey, from which the Doctor was a renegade; details beyond this were very limited for the first decade of the series. They later became integral to many episodes and stories as their role in the fictional universe developed. Over subsequent episodes their history, their development of time manipulation, and their internal politics were touched upon, with Time Lord society portrayed as a stagnated ceremony-bound oligarchy and their past having descended into myth and legend. The Doctor became at times an ally, being appointed their president during his fourth incarnation and assisting them on many occasions. After the series resumed in 2005, the Time Lords were presented for a time as no longer existing, having been destroyed by the Doctor off screen at some intervening point between the original series' cancellation in 1989 and the show's revival during the fictional Last Great Time War, but, after 2013, the Time Lords were described as having survived the War when Gallifrey was frozen in another universe on the Time War's last day and it turned out the Doctor from the beginning of the show's revival didn't remember these events as they happened, while from the outside it appeared as if both sides of the War destroyed each other.
==Creation==
In an audio commentary recorded for the 2009 DVD release of ''The War Games'' (1969), producer Derrick Sherwin mentioned how in a discussion with the serial's co-writer Terrance Dicks the previous day, Dicks was "absolutely certain" that Sherwin created the Time Lords for the serial, although Sherwin couldn't remember himself. Later in the commentary, Dicks recalled Sherwin telling him in the discussions with Dicks and Dicks' fellow co-writer Malcolm Hulke that because the Doctor had always been established as being on the run from his own people, that if he has to appeal to them, the Doctor would be in trouble. Elaborating on this genesis in a 2014 interview in ''Doctor Who Magazine'', Sherwin said of ''The War Games'', "It was a case of what shall we do, how can we end this? Let's go back to the beginning and say (Doctor ) was a Time Lord, a renegade Time Lord, a pain in the arse for the other Time Lords who stole his TARDIS and buggered off around the universe. So if he's going to be called to book let's bring in the Time Lords."
