Summary
It is apparently going to be a rule that every new Doctor Who showrunner does a major reset of the show’s mythology about Gallifrey and the Time Lords. The purpose of it, as far as I can tell, is to create what the new showrunner considers a clear field for the stories he wants to tell. It is to some extent, then, always a utilitarian decision. Chris Chibnall has now done his own reboot, for what seem to me to be very specific reasons.
