[QUOTE="Sutekh, post: 5288103, member: 16863"] It was established in the 'Classic' Series that the Dr could not travel into the past of Gallifrey. This I believe was deliberately set in place by Rassilon, the 'founder' of the Time Travel tech. This can be noted in that the Doctor never visits Gallifrey at a point previous to an earlier adventure (ie his numerous encounters with Borusa are in order ).The books may contradict this statement , but as a long time Dr Who viewer Im 80 percent certain this is correct. Its more than likely that this is simply hardcoded into every Tardis or that the technology simply dosnt allow for it. The Time Lock that Gallifrey (and the Dalek Fleet) are in is a seperate matter entirely and was established by the Doctor. Tardis use was under highly regimented control (and could be co opted by an outside source). The Doctor's Tardis was effectively stolen property, as was the Masters, Rani's etc. Tardises were used by the Timelords to view a situation.. its when they actually got involved was the problem ( A Good example of a Timelord overstepping his bounds is Chancellor Goth in the Deadly Assassin. He came across the Master and was subsumed by his will). [/QUOTE]
