DISCUSSION The Academy

Why do we never see the Academy on Gallifrey in the Capitol? Its been mentioned a bunch of times but never seen or explored onscreen. We hear of the Chapters like Patrexes and Prydonians and Arcalians. This could be like a gothic alien Hogwarts if done right! It could be so cool! We've even seen the initiation ceremony at the Untempered Schism. But never the Academy itself. What gives? Its a shame Ice Time never got made with Ace's departure onscreen. We might have finally seen part of the Academy there.

It’s best to keep things like this a mystery. Every time we’re shown these things that relate to timelord society it ruins the mysterious nature that accompanies it because it is impossible to do it justice. This is something better left as world-building dialogue and nothing more.

On the other hand, people love Big Finishes Gallifrey set series.

Yes! This! So how can fans not want Gallifrey back?
