[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 387377, member: 64"] If I remember rightly David Tennant was already commited to a theatre role in 2010, that's why he wasn't able to do a full series and why we got those specials before he left. It wasn't anything to do with the casting of Matt Smith in the role as far as I'm aware. :) Gallifrey wasn't destroyed during the Time War. It was concealed in a pocket universe as is shown in The Day of the Doctor later. When it was concealed in the pocket universe the events of the final battle of the War were time locked, this was to prevent anyone from attempting to change the outcome of the final battle but more importantly from the Daleks discovering that Gallifrey actually survived the final planetary assault. The billionnaire actually wanted to give his daughter a gift where she will never die but the Master later sabotages their equipment so that he can take over the entire human race. Whilst all this is going on Rassilon dispatches a white point star to Earth, the reason for this is that the Time Lords have triangulated the double heartbeat of a Time Lord (the Master) and can use this to take Gallifrey out of it's constellation at Kasterborous into Earth's solar system at Mutter's Spiral by using the white point star to home in on the signal. The Master finds the white point star and connects it to the billionnaires equipment but secretly alters the settings so he can subjugate and dominate every human being on Earth. During the Doctor & the Master's's initial exchange with Rassilon as Gallifrey approaches Earth, Rassilon reverses the Master's subjugation of the human race by the use of the Omega gauntlet he's wearing on his arm. This drains Rassilon's power and when the Doctor turns on Rassilon and orders them to go back into the Time War, the Doctor spares the Master by firing on the white point star severing the link which has brought Gallifrey through the time lock. Rassilon attempts to use the Omega gauntlet on the Doctor but it needs to be powered up first. The Master grateful that the Doctor didn't shoot him begins using his new powers against Rassilon, forcing him & Gallifrey back through the breached time lock into the final day of the Time War which the Time Lords have prophesized is the final day before Gallifrey's destruction. Yeah it does sound a bit convoluted but it makes perfect sense to me. :) [/QUOTE]
