This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline.

Additionally there are statements on the back many [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures]] novels that state between which TV stories the novel takes place between. These can be used to narrow the field, but should not be viewed as the only placement for these novels.


{{Doctor Who timelines}}
{{Doctor Who timelines}}
== Organisational aids ==
The Seventh Doctor's timeline is organised by companion, TARDIS, outfit, and personality. However, few indicators are absolute. His companions often leave and rejoin him, he switches TARDISes and TARDIS interiors multiple times, he sometimes explicitly wears the "wrong" outfit for a period, and his personality can be difficult to pin down. He's also seen removing his more "useless" memories in [[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Genesys (novel)|Timewyrm: Genesys]]'', explaining errors in continuity he makes.


== Limiting factors ==
Stories where the Doctor travels alone are most often organised by personality: if he is more lighthearted, they can be placed early in his life or immediately before the end, while stories where he is more sombre are usually placed close to, but not immediately before, his death.
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.


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]]''.
The Doctor switches from usually wearing his lighter jacket to usually wearing the darker one in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[1963: The Assassination Games (audio story)|1963: The Assassination Games]]''. His white linen suit is introduced in [[PROSE]]: ''[[White Darkness (novel)|White Darkness]]'', though he might have worn it before. Stories where he wears his tweed jacket should be placed after [[PROSE]]: ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]''.


== Complications ==
Stories where the Doctor travels in his alternate self's TARDIS take place after [[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'' and before [[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'', but often which TARDIS he is using goes unmentioned, and what companions he is with are a more useful indicator. Stories where he travels in his black TARDIS take place after [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge (audio story)|Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge]]'' and before [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gods and Monsters (audio story)|Gods and Monsters]]''. Stories where the TARDIS is white take place after [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Angel of Scutari (audio story)|The Angel of Scutari]]'' and before [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gods and Monsters (audio story)|Gods and Monsters]]''
=== 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:
=== Companions ===
* 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.
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just [[Mel Bush]] must take place between [[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'', while any story with her and [[Ace]] must follow [[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Life of Crime (audio story)|A Life of Crime]]''.
* 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 involving a younger Ace must take place from [[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'' to [[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'', while any story where Ace has combat-training must take place after [[PROSE]]: ''[[Deceit (novel)|Deceit]]''.
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 he travels with [[Bernice Summerfield]] must take place between [[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'' and [[PROSE]]: ''[[Deceit (novel)|Deceit]]'', or between [[PROSE]]: ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]'' and [[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]''. Any stories where Ace and Benny's relationship is non-antagonistic must take place after [[PROSE]]: ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]''.


== Timeline ==
Any story with [[Roz Forrester]] and [[Chris Cwej]] as companions must take place between [[PROSE]]: ''[[Original Sin (novel)|Original Sin]]'' and [[PROSE]]: ''[[So Vile a Sin]]''. Any story featuring just Chris as a companion must take place before [[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]''.
=== New adventures ===
* [[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]''
: The Doctor [[Regeneration|regenerates]] from his [[Seventh Doctor|previous incarnation]], but suffers complete [[amnesia]]. Seeking aid from Dr. [[Grace Holloway]], the Doctor is able to recover his memory during a final fight with {{Roberts}}, who is absorbed into the TARDIS through the [[Eye of Harmony]]. After parting ways with Grace, the Doctor settles down to read ''[[The Time Machine]]''.


* [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]''
Any story where the Doctor and Ace travel with Hex must take place between [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Harvest (audio story)|The Harvest]]'' and [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Signs and Wonders (audio story)|Signs and Wonders]]''.
: Continues directly on from ''Doctor Who'', with the Doctor completing his reading of ''The Time Machine''. After a second bout with amnesia, the Doctor rescues a 16-year-old girl named [[Sam Jones]] from being attacked by drug dealers, and welcomes her company in his travels.


* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Bounty (audio story)|Bounty]]''
== Complications ==
: Sam takes her first trip in the TARDIS.
The Doctor edits his more "useless" memories in ''Timewyrm: Genesys'', which can explain anything he's forgotten from previous incarnations and adventures.


=== Stacy and Ssard ===
The ''Doctor Who Magazine'' comics start off with the Doctor travelling with [[Frobisher]], who acts like [[Peri Brown]] has just departed, before he himself leaves the series. The early comics also portray the Doctor as he acted in ''Time and the Rani'', until ''Nemesis of the Daleks'' sees him act as the manipulator he had become in the latter part of his television tenure.
* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Dreadnought (comic story)|Dreadnought]]''
: The Doctor states he has "only just begun getting used to" his head, referring to his recent regeneration. He rescues [[Stacy Townsend]] when her ship is attacked by the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]], and she decides to join him on his travels.


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Descendance (comic story)|Descendance]]''
=== Ace ===
: The Doctor and Stacey befriend an [[Ice Warrior]] named [[Ssard]] while investigating the treachery of High Lord [[Artix]] and [[Luass]].  
Ace loses some of her memories in ''Timewyrm: Genesys'' and ''The Prisoner's Dilemma'', which can explain anything she's forgotten from her previous travels.


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Ascendance (comic story)|Ascendance]]''
Throughout their travels together, Ace continued to mature and come to terms with her past and how she coped with it. The early audios that have her and the Doctor traveling with [[Raine Creevy]] generally follow the characteristics established by the television series; an immature rebel who enjoys explosives and is often in the dark about the Doctor's plans.  
: After helping them on Mars, Ssard accepts an offer from the Doctor to travel with him and Stacey.


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Perceptions (comic story)|Perceptions]]''
In the [[Virgin New Adventures]], Ace undergoes major character development after a fallout with the Doctor. It is this version of Ace that develops with the Doctor and [[Bernice Summerfield]] in the VNA series, after returning from fighting the [[Dalek]]s with [[Spacefleet]]; She often identifies herself as a soldier, and is abrasive toward the Doctor and Benny, at least until ''No Future'', where the three resolve their differences. Ace then becomes less prone to using explosives, more dedicated to TARDIS-life, and more accepting of the Doctor's manipulative nature, until she leaves again to become Time's Vigilante.


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Coda (comic story)|Coda]]''
David Bishop, when writing ''Enemy of the Daleks'', based Ace on the combat-trained "New Ace" from the New Adventures; this potentially indicates that the audio is set after ''Deceit''.


:: ''After traveling with the Doctor for "a few months", Stacy and Ssard leave the TARDIS and decide to live in Ssard's time period. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Placebo Effect (novel)|Placebo Effect]]'')''
The biggest complication surrounding Ace is her death in ''Ground Zero'', in which she is shown travelling with the Doctor as he is seen in ''Doctor Who''.


=== Fight against the Threshold ===
=== TARDIS interior ===
* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (DWM comic story)|Endgame]]''
Following on from ''The Chameleon Factor'', the TARDIS is changed to a beige design and retains it for most of the Doctor's continued travels.
: The TARDIS is shown to have its Victorian parlour interior design. On a return visit to [[Stockbridge]], the Doctor is reunited with [[Maxwell Edison]] and meets [[Izzy Sinclair|Izzy]], a seventeen-year-old science fiction fan and amateur paranormal investigator. After they help him defeat the [[Celestial Toymaker]], he offers them companionship; Max declines, but Izzy gleefully accepts.  


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Keep (comic story)|The Keep]]''
At some point before ''The Armageddon Gambit'', the Seventh Doctor gained another control room, with the time rotor connected to the ceiling instead of the floor.
: On Izzy's first trip into the future, the Doctor follows an [[SOS]] to the Keep, where he is forced by [[Marquez]] to bond with [[Crivello's Cauldron]] so it can be sent off to form a new [[star system]].


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[A Life of Matter and Death (comic story)|A Life of Matter and Death]]''
While travelling in the TARDIS of an alternate universe version of his [[third incarnation]], the Seventh Doctor had a transitional version of his Victorian parlour control room by ''Human Nature'', as shown in the ebook art. Later, in ''Lungbarrow'', his own TARDIS changes into a Victorian parlour design to resemble the Doctor's family estate in the [[House of Lungbarrow]], and retains the look into ''Doctor Who''.


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Fire and Brimstone (comic story)|Fire and Brimstone]]''
However, in ''The Settling'', the TARDIS is redecorated by the Doctor, [[Ace]], and [[Hex]] to the Victorian parlour design seen in ''Doctor Who'', though it reverts to the old design from ''Black and White'' to '' Gods and Monsters''.
: The TARDIS is still recovering from the events of ''A Life of Matter and Death''. Lured to Crivello's Cauldron at ''[[Icarus Falling]]'', the Doctor and Izzy discover that Marquez was working for the [[Dalek]]s, and become embroiled in the [[Threshold]]'s plot to destroy the Daleks to acquire the secrets of a box with the [[Seal of Rassilon]] on it. During his endeavour, the Doctor's link to the Cauldron is severed.  


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[By Hook or By Crook (comic story)|By Hook or By Crook]]''
In ''Signs and Wonders'', the TARDIS is damaged and resets to a white room without a console. The Doctor claims that it needs time to rebuild and that he should be able to restore the configuration. 


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Tooth and Claw (comic story)|Tooth and Claw]]''
Also, ''Excelis Decays'' claims that the Doctor apparently built the Victorian parlour design himself.
: The Doctor and Izzy are summoned by Fey to an island in the [[Indian Ocean]] during [[1939]], where the Doctor injects himself with poison to defeat a [[Cucurbite]], forcing Fey and Izzy to take him to Gallifrey, leading into ''The Final Chapter''.


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Final Chapter (comic story)|The Final Chapter]]''
Furthermore, in ''Ground Zero'', the elderly Doctor is using his old interior design until the TARDIS is damaged and forced to change the interior design, with the authorial intent being that it changed to the Victorian parlour design in the lead up to ''Doctor Who''.
: Whilst his body heals on Gallifrey, the Doctor ventures into [[the Matrix]], where he learns from [[Rassilon]] why he hired the Threshold. The Doctor also catches up with [[Shayde]], leading into ''Wormwood''.  


* [[COMIC]]: ''[[Wormwood (comic story)|Wormwood]]''
In ''The Monsters of Gokroth'' and ''The Moons of Vulpana'', set after the Doctor's travels with Ace, the TARDIS interior has the 80s TV sound effects before changing to the TV Movie sound effects in ''An Alien Werewolf in London''.
: Having switched places with Shayde, the Doctor goes undercover in the Threshold, witnessing their destruction by the [[Pariah]]. Shayde is injured in the battle, but is saved from death when Fey bonds with him, becoming a singular entity, and returns to Gallifrey.


=== Controller of the Glory ===
== Timeline ==

* [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Glorious Dead (comic story)|The Glorious Dead]]''
: According to {{Fallen}}, the events of ''The Fallen'', ''The Road to Hell'' and ''The Company of Thieves'' took place in the past few months. Landing on [[Paradost]], the Doctor, Izzy and Kroton find [[Sato Katsura]] leading the [[Church of the Glorious Dead]], and in the services of the Master in his bid to win the contest with the Doctor for [[the Glory]], however, it eventually transpires that the contest is really between Sato and Kroton, with Kroton emerging the winning. With the power of the Glory, Kroton kills Sato, and undoes the Master's recent atrocities before placing him in imprisonment, which is presumably the Eye of Harmony, because ''Forgotten'' presents him escaping from the Eye of Harmony. [[Esterath]] also removes the Master's ability to influence the TARDIS, setting this after ''The Gallifrey Chronicles''.

Latest revision as of 13:01, 1 March 2022

This page lists appearances of the Seventh Doctor in the order in which he experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed, much like its TV story counterparts that for each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. This does not apply to short stories which are often ambiguous about their placement. There are also many gaps between stories.

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

Additionally there are statements on the back many BBC Past Doctor Adventures novels that state between which TV stories the novel takes place between. These can be used to narrow the field, but should not be viewed as the only placement for these novels.

Organisational aids[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Seventh Doctor's timeline is organised by companion, TARDIS, outfit, and personality. However, few indicators are absolute. His companions often leave and rejoin him, he switches TARDISes and TARDIS interiors multiple times, he sometimes explicitly wears the "wrong" outfit for a period, and his personality can be difficult to pin down. He's also seen removing his more "useless" memories in PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys, explaining errors in continuity he makes.

Stories where the Doctor travels alone are most often organised by personality: if he is more lighthearted, they can be placed early in his life or immediately before the end, while stories where he is more sombre are usually placed close to, but not immediately before, his death.

The Doctor switches from usually wearing his lighter jacket to usually wearing the darker one in AUDIO: 1963: The Assassination Games. His white linen suit is introduced in PROSE: White Darkness, though he might have worn it before. Stories where he wears his tweed jacket should be placed after PROSE: So Vile a Sin.

Stories where the Doctor travels in his alternate self's TARDIS take place after PROSE: Blood Heat and before PROSE: Happy Endings, but often which TARDIS he is using goes unmentioned, and what companions he is with are a more useful indicator. Stories where he travels in his black TARDIS take place after AUDIO: Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge and before AUDIO: Gods and Monsters. Stories where the TARDIS is white take place after AUDIO: The Angel of Scutari and before AUDIO: Gods and Monsters

Companions[[edit] | [edit source]]

Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just Mel Bush must take place between TV: Time and the Rani and TV: Dragonfire, while any story with her and Ace must follow AUDIO: A Life of Crime.

Any stories involving a younger Ace must take place from TV: Dragonfire to PROSE: Love and War, while any story where Ace has combat-training must take place after PROSE: Deceit.

Any stories where he travels with Bernice Summerfield must take place between PROSE: Love and War and PROSE: Deceit, or between PROSE: Set Piece and PROSE: Happy Endings. Any stories where Ace and Benny's relationship is non-antagonistic must take place after PROSE: No Future.

Any story with Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej as companions must take place between PROSE: Original Sin and PROSE: So Vile a Sin. Any story featuring just Chris as a companion must take place before PROSE: Lungbarrow.

Any story where the Doctor and Ace travel with Hex must take place between AUDIO: The Harvest and AUDIO: Signs and Wonders.

Complications[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor edits his more "useless" memories in Timewyrm: Genesys, which can explain anything he's forgotten from previous incarnations and adventures.

The Doctor Who Magazine comics start off with the Doctor travelling with Frobisher, who acts like Peri Brown has just departed, before he himself leaves the series. The early comics also portray the Doctor as he acted in Time and the Rani, until Nemesis of the Daleks sees him act as the manipulator he had become in the latter part of his television tenure.

Ace[[edit] | [edit source]]

Ace loses some of her memories in Timewyrm: Genesys and The Prisoner's Dilemma, which can explain anything she's forgotten from her previous travels.

Throughout their travels together, Ace continued to mature and come to terms with her past and how she coped with it. The early audios that have her and the Doctor traveling with Raine Creevy generally follow the characteristics established by the television series; an immature rebel who enjoys explosives and is often in the dark about the Doctor's plans.

In the Virgin New Adventures, Ace undergoes major character development after a fallout with the Doctor. It is this version of Ace that develops with the Doctor and Bernice Summerfield in the VNA series, after returning from fighting the Daleks with Spacefleet; She often identifies herself as a soldier, and is abrasive toward the Doctor and Benny, at least until No Future, where the three resolve their differences. Ace then becomes less prone to using explosives, more dedicated to TARDIS-life, and more accepting of the Doctor's manipulative nature, until she leaves again to become Time's Vigilante.

David Bishop, when writing Enemy of the Daleks, based Ace on the combat-trained "New Ace" from the New Adventures; this potentially indicates that the audio is set after Deceit.

The biggest complication surrounding Ace is her death in Ground Zero, in which she is shown travelling with the Doctor as he is seen in Doctor Who.

TARDIS interior[[edit] | [edit source]]

Following on from The Chameleon Factor, the TARDIS is changed to a beige design and retains it for most of the Doctor's continued travels.

At some point before The Armageddon Gambit, the Seventh Doctor gained another control room, with the time rotor connected to the ceiling instead of the floor.

While travelling in the TARDIS of an alternate universe version of his third incarnation, the Seventh Doctor had a transitional version of his Victorian parlour control room by Human Nature, as shown in the ebook art. Later, in Lungbarrow, his own TARDIS changes into a Victorian parlour design to resemble the Doctor's family estate in the House of Lungbarrow, and retains the look into Doctor Who.

However, in The Settling, the TARDIS is redecorated by the Doctor, Ace, and Hex to the Victorian parlour design seen in Doctor Who, though it reverts to the old design from Black and White to Gods and Monsters.

In Signs and Wonders, the TARDIS is damaged and resets to a white room without a console. The Doctor claims that it needs time to rebuild and that he should be able to restore the configuration.

Also, Excelis Decays claims that the Doctor apparently built the Victorian parlour design himself.

Furthermore, in Ground Zero, the elderly Doctor is using his old interior design until the TARDIS is damaged and forced to change the interior design, with the authorial intent being that it changed to the Victorian parlour design in the lead up to Doctor Who.

In The Monsters of Gokroth and The Moons of Vulpana, set after the Doctor's travels with Ace, the TARDIS interior has the 80s TV sound effects before changing to the TV Movie sound effects in An Alien Werewolf in London.
