This page lists '''appearances of the [[Sixth Doctor]] in the order in which he experienced them'''. This timeline is based on observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events in each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is generally assumed, much like their TV story counterparts, that each novel, comic or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in, although the audio stories that use the [[Peter Howell]] theme are often set before audio stories the [[Dominic Glynn]] theme. There are also many gaps between stories

{{Doctor Who timelines}}


== Limiting factors ==
== Limiting factors ==
Any story with the Doctor’s silver Sonic Screwdriver must take place either between ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[The Flood (comic story)|The Flood]]'', where it is destroyed, or (if the story takes place during the [[Last Great Time War]]) after ''[[Natural Regression (short story)|Natural Regression]]'' and before ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]''. Between ''The Flood'' and ''Natural Regression'', the Doctor uses a wooden sonic.
=== Companions ===
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just [[Peri Brown]], specifically when Peri is young and more nervous, must take place between ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'' and before Peri takes a leave of absence from the TARDIS at some point before ''[[The Shape Shifter (comic story)|The Shape Shifter]]''. Any stories that feature a more mature and confident Peri traveling alone with the Doctor must take place between ''[[The World Shapers (comic story)|The World Shapers]]'' and ''[[Mindwarp (TV story)|Mindwarp]]''. Any stories that feature Peri after she was left on [[Thoros Beta]] must follow ''[[The Widow's Assassin (audio story)|The Widow's Assassin]]''.


Any story featuring [[Romana II]] must take place either before her regeneration in ''[[The Shadows of Avalon (novel)|The Shadows of Avalon]]'' or after her regeneration is undone in ''[[Enemy Lines (audio story)|Enemy Lines]]''.
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just [[Frobisher]] must take place between ''[[The Shape Shifter (comic story)|The Shape Shifter]]'' and ''[[Kane's Story (comic story)|Kane's Story]]'' or between ''[[The Maltese Penguin (audio story)|The Maltese Penguin]]'' and ''[[The Age of Chaos (comic story)|The Age of Chaos]]''.


== Complications ==
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with [[Charlotte Pollard]] must take place between ''[[The Condemned (audio story)|The Condemned]]'' and ''[[Patient Zero (audio story)|Patient Zero]]'', while any stories featuring [[Mila]] must take place between ''[[Patient Zero (audio story)|Patient Zero]]'' and ''[[Blue Forgotten Planet (audio story)|Blue Forgotten Planet]]''.
=== Split continuities ===
Following the release of ''Doctor Who'', both ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' and ''[[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]]'' took to continuing the Eighth Doctor's adventures in [[1997 (releases)|1997]]; they were joined by [[Big Finish Productions]] in [[2001 (releases)|2001]]. For the most part, each of these storylines should not be interrupted or intertwined: in other words, there are few gaps in each series' storyline where the Doctor could feasibly take a break from one set of companions and to travel with a different set of companions from another series. Both the ''BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures'' books and ''Doctor Who Magazine'' comics advertised themselves as continuing directly from the TV Movie, but only the novels actually portrayed an newly-regenerated Eighth Doctor, with ''Doctor Who Magazine'' instead depicting an Eighth Doctor that was comfortable with his body and personality. For this reason, the most commonly accepted framework is that, after the telemovie, ''BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures'' happened, followed by ''Doctor Who Magazine'', and then continued with Big Finish Productions, who show the development of the Doctor that leads to ''The Night of the Doctor''.


There are very few exceptions to this general rule:
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with the [[Land of Fiction]] recreation of [[Jamie McCrimmon (City of Spires)|Jamie McCrimmon]] must take place between ''[[City of Spires (audio story)|City of Spires]]'' and ''[[Legend of the Cybermen (audio story)|Legend of the Cybermen]]''.
* In the BBC Books novel ''[[Vampire Science (novel)|Vampire Science]]'', companion [[Sam Jones]] mentions that the Doctor once dropped her off at a [[Greenpeace]] rally and had (what he told her was) a year's worth of adventures before picking her up again. ''[[Radio Times]]''{{'}}s comic mini-series with the Eighth Doctor takes place in at least part of this gap, as the events are referenced in ''[[Placebo Effect (novel)|Placebo Effect]]'' a few books later.
* A gap of unknown size takes place between the Eighth Doctor's travels with [[Charlotte Pollard]] in Big Finish's [[Main Range]] and his adventures with [[Lucie Miller]] in the ''[[Eighth Doctor Adventures (audio series)|Eighth Doctor Adventures]]''.
* A gap of unknown size takes place between the "What Happened on Earth" and "Foreman’s World" narratives of the novel ''[[Interference (novel)|Interference]]''.


=== Gallifrey ===
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just [[Flip Jackson]] must take place between ''[[The Curse of Davros (audio story)|The Curse of Davros]]'' and ''[[Scavenger (audio story)|Scavenger]]''.  
During the [[War in Heaven]], multiple [[Nine Gallifreys|duplicate Gallifreys]] were created, each believing themselves to be the original. One of these, [[Romana III's Gallifrey]], was destroyed in ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]''; anything involving Romana III must therefore take place before ''The Ancestor Cell'' or the reversal of Romana II's regeneration in ''Enemy Lines''.


Alternatively, anything involving Gallifrey could take place either on a different duplicate Gallifrey or sometime after a hypothetical recreation of Romana III's Gallifrey following ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]''. However, such a restoration is never mentioned in the comics or audios.
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just [[Constance Clarke]] must take place between ''[[Criss-Cross (audio story)|Criss-Cross]]'' and ''[[Absolute Power (audio story)|Absolute Power]]'', while any story with her and Flip must follow ''[[Quicksilver (audio story)|Quicksilver]]''.
 
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with [[Mel Bush]] must take place after ''[[Business Unusual (novel)|Business Unusual]]'' and before his regeneration in the beginning of ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]''.

Revision as of 01:25, 19 March 2020

This page lists appearances of the Sixth Doctor in the order in which he experienced them. This timeline is based on observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events in each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is generally assumed, much like their TV story counterparts, that each novel, comic or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in, although the audio stories that use the Peter Howell theme are often set before audio stories the Dominic Glynn theme. There are also many gaps between stories

The layout of this timeline is based in part on the observations on Doctor Who Reference Guide and Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures, Lance Parkin's AHistory and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as DocOhoReviews, Doc Oho's Book Reviews, The History of Doctor Who, The Discontinuity Guide, Clive Banks Databanks, Whopix, the Big Finish forums, The Whoniverse and The Divergent Universe forum. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Limiting factors

Any stories that feature Peri after she was left on Thoros Beta must follow The Widow's Assassin.

Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just Frobisher must take place between The Shape Shifter and Kane's Story or between The Maltese Penguin and The Age of Chaos.

Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with Charlotte Pollard must take place between The Condemned and Patient Zero, while any stories featuring Mila must take place between Patient Zero and Blue Forgotten Planet.

Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with the Land of Fiction recreation of Jamie McCrimmon must take place between City of Spires and Legend of the Cybermen.

Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just Flip Jackson must take place between The Curse of Davros and Scavenger.

Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just Constance Clarke must take place between Criss-Cross and Absolute Power, while any story with her and Flip must follow Quicksilver.

Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with Mel Bush must take place after Business Unusual and before his regeneration in the beginning of Time and the Rani.
