Aaron Blinovitch's time stream[[edit] | [edit source]]
A Russian man named Blinovitch reversed his own time stream and regressed to infancy; the Blinovitch Limitation Effect was named after him.

Dalek Caan's timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
Dalek Caan crossed his own timeline (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Loading...{"chaptname":"Brave New World","page":"47","chaptnum":"2","1":"The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)"}, Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia [+]Loading...{"page":"355","ed":"2011 edition","1":"Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)"}) when he used an emergency temporal shift going from Manhattan in 1930 (TV: Evolution of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Evolution of the Daleks (TV story)"]) back through the time lock into the Last Great Time War, where he retrieved Davros from his command ship. This act drove him insane but allowed him to see the future. (TV: The Stolen Earth [+]Loading...["The Stolen Earth (TV story)"])
The Doctor's timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Main article: The Doctor's time stream
As Tasha Lem explained to the Eleventh Doctor, the Kovarian Chapter travelled back along his timeline in an ultimately vain attempt to prevent him from reaching Trenzalore. (TV: The Time of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Time of the Doctor (TV story)"]) Missy told the Twelfth Doctor that she had been "up and down his timeline", meeting people who had died for him. (TV: Death in Heaven [+]Loading...["Death in Heaven (TV story)"]) The whole of the Doctor's time stream could be accessed from his tomb on Trenzalore. (TV: The Name of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Name of the Doctor (TV story)"])
The Ninth Doctor explained to Rose Tyler that he could not go back and warn humanity of a Dalek invasion because once the TARDIS landed he became part of events, "stuck in the timeline". Soon after, he apparently realised that he could indeed "cross [his] own timeline", however, this was but a ruse to get Rose into the TARDIS to safety. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) Similarly, the Tenth Doctor told Wilfred Mott that he could not go back in time and catch the Saxon Master yesterday as he could not go back within "[his] own timeline", that he had to stay relative to the Master within the causal nexus. (TV: The End of Time)
Alistair Gryffen's timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
When Taphony, a Time Blank, artifically accelerated Professor Alistair Gryffen's physical age, she had caused a major disruption in his timeline, which would only stop if Taphony was removed from the space-time continuum prior to his birthday, at which point the condition would become permanent. Ultimately, the disruption caused by Taphony was negated when she agreed to depart to another time continuum through the Space-Time Manipulator, reversing time to just prior to her arrival at Gryffen Manor. (TV: Taphony and the Time Loop [+]Loading...["Taphony and the Time Loop (TV story)"])
Jack Harkness's timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
In 1901, having been buried alive since 27, Jack Harkness told Torchwood Cardiff operatives Alice Guppy and Charles Gaskell that, as he had crossed his own timeline by being brought back in time to this point by John Hart, he could not be allowed to meet his past self, so he requested to be cryofrozen for the next hundred and seven years. (TV: Exit Wounds [+]Loading...["Exit Wounds (TV story)"])
Catching up with the Tenth Doctor, Jack revealed that he had spent over a century waiting for a version of the Doctor that coincided with his own timeline. He also admitted that he had went to see Rose Tyler at the Powell Estate before she had met him, Jack cited "timelines and all that" as he clarified that he did not approach her. (TV: Utopia [+]Loading...["Utopia (TV story)"], PROSE: Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia [+]Loading...{"page":"149","ed":"2011 reprint","1":"Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)"})
Adolf Hitler's timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
After the Justice Department vehicle Teselcta travelled through time to punish Adolf Hitler, Jim reported that they were too early as they were in 1938 and so needed to go later in his time stream. The Teselecta was crashed into by the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS before this could be done. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler [+]Loading...["Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)"])
Grace Holloway's timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
In one account, the Eighth Doctor was able to see the future personal timeline of Grace Holloway and Chang Lee due to his memories of alternative timelines rewritten by the Time War. (PROSE: Designing Eighth Doctor Adventures [+]Loading...{"page":"16","1":"Designing Eighth Doctor Adventures (feature)"})
Gareth Jenkins's time-stream[[edit] | [edit source]]
After Sixth Doctor, Tegan, and Gareth Jenkins defeated Group Marshal Nathan and his subordinate from the Tenth Sontaran Battle Brigade, (HOMEVID: A Fix with Sontarans [+]Loading...["A Fix with Sontarans (home video)"]) within the space of a few hours, the Sixth Doctor returned Gareth to his correct time-stream.

Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart's timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
In his encounter with the First Doctor, the Twelfth Doctor interfered in the timeline of Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart by not returning him to the moment when he would have been killed by a German soldier at Ypres, but at the start of the Christmas truce a few hours later. Whilst the Doctor justified this action as being just one less dead body on a battlefield, the Time Lords noted that the survival of Lethbridge-Stewart and the subsequent lineage that resulted from it had a significant impact on events that occured on Earth from that point on.

Missy explained to the Saxon Master that the two of them coming into contact "put the timelines out of sync". As a result, the Master would not retain his memory of the event and so Missy would not remember having met herself. However, Missy did evidently remember enough to keep a spare dematerialisation circuit, (TV: The Doctor Falls [+]Loading...["The Doctor Falls (TV story)"]) and her theory was disputed by yet other accounts.

Dalek Caan manipulated it to ensure that she would reunite with the Tenth Doctor and bring about the downfall of the New Dalek Empire (TV: Journey's End [+]Loading...["Journey's End (TV story)"], etc.) and the Time Beetle altered it to feed off the time energy caused by the disruption, (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Loading...{"chaptname":"Everything Changes","page":"132","chaptnum":"3","1":"The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)"}, TV: Turn Left [+]Loading...["Turn Left (TV story)"]) resulting in the creation of a parallel world.

Nyssa's time-line[[edit] | [edit source]]
Nyssa once inadvertently met a version of the Fourth Doctor earlier in his timeline before meeting her, from his perspective. This was an anomalous asynchronicity in both of their time-lines, and after they departed from one another, the Doctor made an effort to ensure there would be no deviations from her timeline that could result in a paradox. (PROSE: Asylum [+]Loading...["Asylum (novel)"])
Clara Oswald's timeline[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Twelfth Doctor once attempted to prove his theory that everyone's shared dream of waking up in the middle of the night to be grabbed by an unseen hand was a genuine phenomenon, he had Clara Oswald place her fingers into the telepathic circuits so that the TARDIS could extrapolate her entire timeline so that the memory of her own nightmare could guide them to the event itself. Later, due to Danny Pink bsing a part of her timeline, the traces left in the telepathic circuits led the Doctor to Orson Pink, a time traveller from Clara's future. (TV: Listen [+]Loading...["Listen (TV story)"])
After the death of Danny, the Doctor induced a dream state around Clara to see how far she'd be willing to go to convince the Doctor to rewrite time; in this state, he refused to, stating that her timeline would disintegrate under the paradox loop. However, after the dream state ended, the Doctor did attempt to save Danny by instead searching for any sort of afterlife he could be in. Clara connected herself to the telepathic circuits again, and TARDIS brought them to the 3W Institute, as it was where Clara's timeline had a high chance of intersecting with Danny's. (TV: Dark Water [+]Loading...["Dark Water (TV story)"])
After Clara was extracted from the end of her time stream by the extraction chamber, mere moments before her death by Quantum Shade, the Doctor deceived the Time Lords into believing that she could give them details about the Hybrid. She appeared in the Capitol's extraction chamber 7, after which the Doctor attempted to flee Gallifrey with her in a stolen TARDIS. Inside, the Doctor asked Clara to check her pulse, hoping her timeline had restarted. Ultimately, Clara used a neural block to erase the Doctor's memory of her before returning "the long way round" to meet her fate on Gallifrey. (TV: Hell Bent [+]Loading...["Hell Bent (TV story)"])
