Any story with [[Leela]] must take place after [[TV]]: ''[[The Face of Evil]]'' and before [[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]''.

Any story with [[Sarah Jane Smith]] must take place before [[TV]]: ''[[The Hand of Fear (TV story)|The Hand of Fear]]''.  
=== Costume ===
The Fourth Doctor has an advantage when dating his stories due to his costume. The Doctor started out with a small red coat, a rainbow scarf, and blue geans. His coat soon grew to a larger deep brown coat. Eventually, his costume turned into the "red" version. This makes dating very simple when looking at how the Doctor is dressed.


== Series basics ==
Any story with [[Leela]] must take place after [[TV]]: ''[[The Face of Evil (TV story)|The Face of Evil]]'' and before [[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]''.  
The Fourth Doctor's stories can be sorted roughly by which companions he travels with and also the medium in which the companions first appeared together.

The Fourth Doctor has an advantage when dating his stories due to his costume. The Doctor started out with a short red blazer, a rainbow scarf, and tweed trousers. He soon switched to longer frock coats, in colors of grey, dark red, and dark brown. Eventually, his costume turned into the "red" version. This makes dating very simple when looking at how the Doctor is dressed (with the exception of certain oddities, like [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Sinister Sponge (short story)|The Sinister Sponge]]'').

The Doctor meets the Daleks' creator, [[Davros]], for the first time, and, while he is unable to prevent their creation, he hypothesises that his interference has delayed the Daleks' development by a thousand years.

According to Sarah Jane, they have spent the past few weeks trying to get back to Nerva Beacon since ''The Ark in Space''.

: Takes place at various points between ''The Face of Evil'' and ''The Invasion of Time''
=== Returning to UNIT ===
* [[TV]]: ''[[Horror of Fang Rock]]''
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Nanomorphosis (short story)|Nanomorphosis]]''
* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Valley of Death]]
: The TARDIS is knocked off course due to radiation damage, which the Doctor theorises was caused by the solar flares they encountered in ''Revenge of the Cybermen''. <ref group = quote>The Doctor scrambled around the console, looking at the read-outs. ‘Radiation damage, I think — probably the solar flares. She needs to reboot and reconfigure some of the systems. Don’t you, old girl?’</ref> They arrive in [[24th century]] [[Prague]] where they investigate a murder.
* [[TV]]: ''[[The Invisible Enemy]]''
 
* [[TV]]: ''[[Image of the Fendahl]]''
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Wolfsbane (novel)|Wolfsbane]]''
* [[TV]]: ''[[The Sun Makers]]''
: The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are knocked off course en route to Scotland due to interference caused by the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s TARDIS, setting this between ''Revenge of the Cybermen'' and ''Terror of the Zygons''. Harry recounts the events of ''Revenge of the Cybermen'' as his previous adventure before becoming stranded in [[1936]].<ref group = quote>Harry almost laughed then. His, the most straightforward account! He wondered how the Doctor would react if he began, „Well, myself and my two friends - one of whom is also called the Doctor, and is an alien - landed here in our time and space machine, having defeated the plans of a race of evil metal cyber-robots in the far future. We were supposed to be on our way back to the late twentieth century where we were due to help my current employer, a high-up in a secret army organisation which fights alien threats, but unfortunately the time and space machine, which is a bit temperamental, dropped me off here by mistake. By the way, the whole world‟s going to be at war in less than three years.‟</ref> They are wearing their costumes from ''Terror of the Zygons''. Several possible conclusions are presented for the events of this story: One in which Harry becomes a werewolf and kills Sarah, forcing the Doctor to kill him with a silver bullet and experience the events of ''Terror of the Zygons'' alone, another where the Doctor, Sarah and Harry successfully arrive in Scotland, only for an infected Harry to carry out a werewolf killing spree following their encounter with the Zygons, and finally a version of history where the Doctor and Sarah figure out that Harry has been infected by a werewolf several days after leaving Godric behind and begin devising a way to save him. The latter of these is the most likely true version of events and therefore it can be assumed that the Doctor, Sarah and Harry don't make it to Scotland immediately after the events of this story due to the quest to cure Harry.

Revision as of 15:46, 24 September 2024

Index → Timey-wimey detector → Timeline - Fourth Doctor
Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

This page lists appearances of the Fourth 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 assumed, much like their TV story counterparts, that for each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. 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 the Doctor, The Discontinuity Guide, Clive Banks Databank, Whopix, the Big Finish forums and The Divergent Universe forums. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Limiting factors

Companions

Any story with Sarah Jane Smith must take place before TV: The Hand of Fear.

Any story with Leela must take place after TV: The Face of Evil and before TV: The Invasion of Time.

Any story with K9 Mark I must take place after TV: The Invisible Enemy and before TV: The Invasion of Time. Any story with K9 Mark II must take place after TV: The Invasion of Time and before TV: Warriors' Gate.

Any story with Romana I must take place after TV: The Ribos Operation and before TV: Destiny of the Daleks. Any story with Romana II must take place after TV: Destiny of the Daleks and before TV: Warriors' Gate.

Any story with Adric must be set after TV: Full Circle.

Costume

The Fourth Doctor has an advantage when dating his stories due to his costume. The Doctor started out with a short red blazer, a rainbow scarf, and tweed trousers. He soon switched to longer frock coats, in colors of grey, dark red, and dark brown. Eventually, his costume turned into the "red" version. This makes dating very simple when looking at how the Doctor is dressed (with the exception of certain oddities, like PROSE: The Sinister Sponge).

Timeline

Previous page: Third Doctor

A new body

The Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation inside his UNIT laboratory with the aid of Cho-Je.
Set immediately after Planet of the Spiders, with the Doctor recovering from his regeneration. Though he intends a fresh start by leaving UNIT behind, the Doctor agrees to help them confront the Scientific Reform Society and their mishandling of K1 in a bid to hold the world hostage with nuclear bombs. Once the crisis is resolved with K1's destruction, the Doctor asks Sarah to continue traveling with him, with UNIT doctor Harry Sullivan following them into the TARDIS.
(REFERENCE)
Sneaking away from UNIT during the events of Robot, presumably during the overnight time-skip in Part Two, the Doctor visits the Mordee colony, and attempts to repair their supercomputer. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Face of Evil)

Helping the Nerva Beacon

Harry is taking his first trip in the TARDIS, setting this immediately after Robot.[quote 1] The TARDIS crew arrive at the Nerva Beacon due to Harry fiddling with the TARDIS, and assist its crew in fending off the Wirrn. However, the Wirrn attack damages the transmat receptors, so the TARDIS crew volunteer to beam down to Earth to do repairs, leading directly into The Sontaran Experiment.
Alternate account to The Ark in Space, where the Doctor intentionally travels to "Noah's Ark" directly from UNIT HQ accompanied by Sarah and Harry, intending to help revive the sleeping human race in preparation for their return to Earth. The TARDIS crew soon face Narib and mind-controlled members of the Ark crew, including Noah himself. After Narib is defeated, the Doctor and his companions depart the Ark in the TARDIS with the intention of returning to the Brigadier.
Despite the interference of the Sontaran Field Major Styre, the TARDIS crew manage to fix the faulty equipment on Earth and beam back to the Nerva Beacon.

Traveling by Time Ring

Set immediately after The Sontaran Experiment, with the Time Lords intercepting the transmat beam and giving the Doctor a mission to disrupt the creation of the Daleks to prevent them becoming a greater threat, and also giving him a Time Ring to allow him, Sarah and Harry to escape Skaro. The Doctor meets the Daleks' creator, Davros, for the first time, and, while he is unable to prevent their creation, he hypothesises that his interference has delayed the Daleks' development by a thousand years. After he watches the Daleks exterminate Davros, the Doctor uses the Time Ring to take him, Sarah and Harry away from Skaro.
Alternate account to Genesis of the Daleks.
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are scattered across the Adelphine Cluster due to temporal disruption interfering with the Time Ring, setting this immediately after Genesis of the Daleks. The Doctor claims to be 748-years-old.
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are still using the Time Ring, setting this shortly after Genesis of the Daleks.
Alternate account to Revenge of the Cybermen. In the original ending, the Doctor would learn from the Time Lord messenger that his involvement in Genesis of the Daleks has caused several time anomalies and that the Doctor would have to relieve an alternate version of the same events again when time rewinds and changes, leading directly into Revenge of the Cybermen. However, this ending was scrapped.[1]
The Time Ring brings the Doctor, Sarah and Harry back to the Nerva Beacon, though thousands of years too early, and then returns to the Time Lords. While they wait for the TARDIS to arrive, the crew help save Voga from being destroyed by the CyberNomads. According to Sarah Jane, they have spent the past few weeks trying to get back to Nerva Beacon since The Ark in Space. Just as the TARDIS arrives, the Doctor receives a summons from the Brigadier, leading into Terror of the Zygons.

Returning to UNIT

The TARDIS is knocked off course due to radiation damage, which the Doctor theorises was caused by the solar flares they encountered in Revenge of the Cybermen. [quote 2] They arrive in 24th century Prague where they investigate a murder.
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are knocked off course en route to Scotland due to interference caused by the Eighth Doctor's TARDIS, setting this between Revenge of the Cybermen and Terror of the Zygons. Harry recounts the events of Revenge of the Cybermen as his previous adventure before becoming stranded in 1936.[quote 3] They are wearing their costumes from Terror of the Zygons. Several possible conclusions are presented for the events of this story: One in which Harry becomes a werewolf and kills Sarah, forcing the Doctor to kill him with a silver bullet and experience the events of Terror of the Zygons alone, another where the Doctor, Sarah and Harry successfully arrive in Scotland, only for an infected Harry to carry out a werewolf killing spree following their encounter with the Zygons, and finally a version of history where the Doctor and Sarah figure out that Harry has been infected by a werewolf several days after leaving Godric behind and begin devising a way to save him. The latter of these is the most likely true version of events and therefore it can be assumed that the Doctor, Sarah and Harry don't make it to Scotland immediately after the events of this story due to the quest to cure Harry.
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are sidetracked on their way back to Earth, suggesting a setting between Revenge of the Cybermen and Terror of the Zygons.
The Doctor and his companions expect to find Loch Ness on exiting the TARDIS, setting this between Revenge of the Cybermen and Terror of the Zygons.
The Doctor recalls the events of Nanomorphosis as having occurred "not too long ago", and he is forced to make a detour and return to Prague.
The Doctor is attempting to travel to Scotland, setting this between Revenge of the Cybermen and Terror of the Zygons, but the TARDIS is knocked off course and arrives on the Zephyr instead.
The Doctor recalls the "rather recent" events of Revenge of the Cybermen, and he, Sarah and Harry have been on their way to Scotland for several months. The Doctor seems unconcerned about reuniting with the Brigadier, while Sarah suspects that he is intentionally steering them off course to avoid answering the summons.
The Doctor is wearing his clothes from Terror of the Zygons. After passing Mars, the Doctor decides to stop in London to watch a series of Disney films as a holiday. After watching Lady and the Tramp, he receives a message from the Brigadier and rushes off to see him, promising his audience we will see them "next Saturday", leading into Terror of the Zygons.
After fending off Carrionites, the TARDIS lands in Scotland, leading directly into Terror of the Zygons. Harry confirms his first trip in the TARDIS was the arrival on Nerva Beacon in The Ark in Space, though he also claims it was his last trip, despite evidence to the contrary.
The TARDIS crew have followed the Brigadier's distress signal to the Devil's Punchbowl in Scotland, where they prevent Zygons from conquering the world. The Doctor offers to give Sarah, Harry and the Brigadier a lift back to the London UNIT HQ in the TARDIS; while Harry and the Brigadier decline in favour of the train, Sarah agrees to go in the TARDIS.

The Doctor gives his age as "something about 750[-years-old]", and the TARDIS control room has been refurbished again. Sarah claims to be from 1980, and learns how history can be altered when she and the Doctor have to stop Sutekh escaping his imprisonment on Mars in 1911. The Doctor recalls being blamed for "starting a fire" in 1666.[quote 4]
The Doctor is wearing a burgundy coat, and Sarah observes that he has been moody as of late, setting this shortly after Pyramids of Mars.
After getting caught up in a Kraal plot take over the Earth, the Doctor is finally able to get Sarah back to the London area. Though she proclaims she will take a taxi back to her home, the Doctor is able to persuade her to rejoin him in the TARDIS.

Coping without Sarah

Upon arriving in the Capitol, the Doctor is framed for the assassination of Lord President Pandad IV and realises that the summons was actually the Decayed Master luring him back to Gallifrey to take the fall for the crime. With the aid of Spandrell and Engin, the Doctor escapes the death penalty by putting himself forward as a presidential candidate and enters the Matrix to battle the Master's thrall, Goth, and emerges victorious. However, the Master still tries to use the Eye of Harmony to heal his deformities, causing ruination in the Capitol until the Doctor stops him, though the Master manages to escape in Goth's TARDIS.

Quotes

  1. ↑ HARRY: "Oh, I say. We've gone!"
    SARAH: "Who's gone?"
    HARRY: "I mean, this isn't... we aren't where we were... when... I've gone mad."
  2. ↑ The Doctor scrambled around the console, looking at the read-outs. ‘Radiation damage, I think — probably the solar flares. She needs to reboot and reconfigure some of the systems. Don’t you, old girl?’
  3. ↑ Harry almost laughed then. His, the most straightforward account! He wondered how the Doctor would react if he began, „Well, myself and my two friends - one of whom is also called the Doctor, and is an alien - landed here in our time and space machine, having defeated the plans of a race of evil metal cyber-robots in the far future. We were supposed to be on our way back to the late twentieth century where we were due to help my current employer, a high-up in a secret army organisation which fights alien threats, but unfortunately the time and space machine, which is a bit temperamental, dropped me off here by mistake. By the way, the whole world‟s going to be at war in less than three years.‟
  4. ↑ DOCTOR: "Perhaps it is time we were leaving. We don't want to be blamed for starting a fire, do we?"
    SARAH: "No."
    DOCTOR: "I had enough of that in 1666."
  5. ↑ SARAH: "I can't say I'll be sorry to see good ol' England again, Doctor—Even in chilly November!"
  6. ↑ "Was this, perhaps, an after-effect of my experiences within the Matrix on my recent visit to Gallifrey?"
  7. ↑ While an intelligent young primitive was potentially a delightful companion with whom to share the wonders the TARDIS could offer, an opinionated savage who could not recognise her own shortcomings was less appealing.
  8. ↑ "I watched you," Leela said, "and I copied what I saw you do." She found a piece of rotten wood and weighed it in her hand. It was too light and she discarded it. "The TARDIS is a machine – there is nothing magic about it. And you can stop calling it the travelling hut. It is not funny to mock people's lack of knowledge, Doctor. Especially when you are stuck up a tree."
  9. ↑ The Doctor's scarf was all sorts of different colours and Leela was wearing jeans Mum said later that "she must have been greased into" and a big grey jumper that smelt funny. She was always VERY serious but not in the way like teachers are. She had very bright blue eyes and nice dark hair.
  10. ↑ DOCTOR: "Good morrow, Romana. That looks interesting."
    ROMANA: "Good morning, Doctor."
  11. ↑ ADRIC: "So this in N-Space."
    DOCTOR: "Yes, the old home universe. It's many times larger than anything you're used to."
    ADRIC: "All those stars..."
  12. ↑ ADRIC: "So we don't get to go to Gallifrey."
    DOCTOR: "Yes. Let me put another question to you. I have a place in mind that's on the way, well, more or less, give or take a parsec or two. It's my home from home. It's called Earth."
