Time placement of [[Second Doctor]] stories has a lot to do with looking at the companions.  Any story featuring only [[Ben Jackson]] and [[Polly Wright]] must take place '''''before''''' [[DW]]: ''[[The Highlanders]]''; any story featuring [[Jamie McCrimmon]] must take place '''''after''''' [[DW]]: ''[[The Highlanders]]''. Any story with [[Victoria Waterfield]] must take place during or after [[DW]]: ''[[Evil of the Daleks]]'' and before [[DW]]: ''[[Fury from the Deep]]''. Any story with [[Zoe Heriot]] must be set during or after [[DW]]: ''[[The Wheel in Space]]''.
Any story featuring only [[Ben Jackson]] and [[Polly Wright]] must take place before [[TV]]: ''[[The Highlanders (TV story)|The Highlanders]]''; any story featuring [[Jamie McCrimmon]] must take place after [[TV]]: ''[[The Highlanders (TV story)|The Highlanders]]''. Any story with [[Victoria Waterfield]] must take place after [[TV]]: ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (TV story)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'' and before [[TV]]: ''[[Fury from the Deep (TV story)|Fury from the Deep]]''. Any story with [[Zoe Heriot]] must be set during or after [[TV]]: ''[[The Wheel in Space (TV story)|The Wheel in Space]]'' and before [[TV]]: ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]''.


Where it gets tricky is when the Second Doctor is with un-televised companions, or with Jamie alone.  A lot of these stories are often said to occur during [[Season 6B]], a fan-opined spot on the timeline after the Doctor's trial on Gallifrey in ''[[The War Games]]''. Such placement is possible because we don't ''actually'' see the Second Doctor regenerate into the Third. Thus it is possible to imagine, as ''[[TV Comic]]'' writers and [[Terrance Dicks]] certainly did, that the Second Doctor survived for an unspecified period of time after ''The War Games''.
A lot of stories are often said to occur during [[Season 6B]], a fan-opined spot on the timeline after the Doctor's trial on Gallifrey in ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'', as the Second Doctor is not seen regenerating into his third incarnation in that serial. Thus it is possible to imagine, as ''[[TV Comic]]'' writers and [[Terrance Dicks]] did, that the Second Doctor survived for an unspecified period of time after ''The War Games''. It was not until [[1999 (releases)|1999]] with the publication of [[PROSE]]: ''[[Players (novel)|Players]]'' that Season 6B was confirmed as fact instead of pure conjecture.


But you can't always shuffle off these difficult stories to Season 6b.  And even if you ''do'' put them there, it's hard to know precisely where they sit ''in relation to each other''.
=== ''TV Comics'' placement ===
===Problem children: John, Gillian and TV Comic's Jamie===
The Second Doctor's travels with [[John Who|John]] and [[Gillian Who|Gillian]] are very problematic to place in the Doctor's timeline, as they are inexplicably travelling with him by ''[[The Extortioner (comic story)|The Extortioner]]'', with no explanation given as to how this relate to their travels with the [[First Doctor]]. A possibility emerges, unintentionally, in ''The Nameless City'', where the Doctor has not seen the Master in a long time, but Jamie doesn't know the Doctor's origins, meaning it cannot be set in Season 6b, but must come after ''The Dark Path''. Thus there is a gap between the events of ''The Dark Path'' and ''The Nameless City'', without Jamie, which is perfectly placed by the John and Gillian travels.
The biggest unknowns certainly surround ''[[TV Comic]]'' stories, because of a fundamental continuity error.  There's no way around it, no retcon that can be applied — the ''TV Comic'' writers just got it wrong. At the beginning of his run in ''TV Comic'', the Second Doctor effectively inherits [[John and Gillian]] from the First Doctor.  But then after a few stories with the brats, he puts them in school on [[Zebadee]] and, in the same story, meets up with [[Jamie McCrimmon]] — again.  That is, he knows who Jamie is.  Somehow, Jamie has made his way to 20th century Scotland, but we don't know how.


So time placement of the John and Gillian and Jamie ''TV Comic'' stories is, frankly, impossible.  How could he have already known Jamie at the same time he was travelling with the kids? Were John and Gillian always stowed away on the TARDIS while the Doctor travelled around with Ben, Polly, Jamie, Victoria and Zoe?  There is no great explanation for it.
The stories ''[[Conundrum (novel)|Conundrum]]'' and ''[[The Land of Happy Endings (comic story)|The Land of Happy Endings]]'' hypothesise that these adventures are either stories created by [[Jason (Conundrum)|The Master of the Land of Fiction]] or the Doctor's dreams.


Saying that ''all'' of the ''TV Comic'' stories occur during Season 6b is problematic at best.  ''[[Action in Exile (comic story)|Action in Exile]]'' – one of the first post-Jamie strips — certainly goes out of its way to depict the Doctor as ''newly'' exiled. You can't even really construct some timey-wimey narrative, in which everything prior to ''Action in Exile'' actually happened ''after'' it.  Why?  Attempts to construct a timeline that works for the Second Doctor are always frustrated by the need to accommodate John and Gillian's travels with the ''First'' Doctor.
=== ''The Two Doctors'' ===
A common explanation for the Second Doctor and Jamie's appearance in ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'' is it occurring after ''The War Games'' in the theorised [[Season 6B]] owing to their older appearance and familiarity with the [[Time Lords]] who Jamie did not learn of until ''The War Games''. [[Terrance Dicks]] later used his novel ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'' to depict events bridging the end of ''The War Games'' to the start of ''The Two Doctors'', with the Doctor bargaining with the Time Lords for Jamie to be returned to his side (with his memories altered so he believes they are still travelling with Victoria) and being instructed to visit [[Joinson Dastari|Dastari]].


=== It was all a dream ===
However [[Simon Guerrier]] later used his story, ''[[The Black Hole (audio story)|The Black Hole]]'', to offer an alternative setting for ''The Two Doctors'' in the middle of Season 5 instead. By this account the Doctor and Jamie are given their mission to visit Dastari by the Time Lord [[Pavo]] (in actuality [[the Monk]] in disguise) whilst Victoria stays behind with him at a research station. The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria have their memories wiped of meeting Pavo at the end of the story, allowing for ''The War Games'' to remain Jamie's first hearing of the Time Lords. [[John Dorney]]'s story ''[[Deathworld (TLS audio story)|Deathworld]]'' would further confirm ''The Two Doctors'' occurring in this setting, with Jamie explicitly referencing both the status quo of Victoria waiting for them at the research station from ''The Black Hole'' and events of ''The Two Doctors''.
So what do we do with these wayward scribbles?  '''Say that the Doctor dreamt it all up.''' We've even got a source for that theory. ''[[The Land of Happy Endings]]'' explicitly says that the brats ''were'' just a dream that the Doctor periodically had.  Since sanity is valuable, why not avail ourselves of [[Scott Gray]]'s solution?


If we do that, then the TVC timeline goes something like this:
As a result of these differing accounts there are two placements for ''The Two Doctors'' on this timeline.
*''[[The Extortioner (comic story)|The Extortioner]]'' — ''[[Martha the Mechanical Housemaid (comic story)|Martha the Mechanical Housemaid]]'' are a dream
*''[[The Duellists (comic story)|The Duellists]]'' — ''[[Operation Wurlitzer (comic story)|Operation Wurlitzer]]'' are essentially not placeable, because they feature the Second Doctor alone, but definitely not in exile on 20th century Earth
*''[[Action in Exile (comic story)|Action in Exile]]'' — ''[[The Night Walkers]]'' are firmly in Season 6b, post ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'' and ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]''

== The Doctor's dreams ==
----
Given the fact that ''[[The Land of Happy Endings (comic story)|The Land of Happy Endings]]'' explicitly tells us that the Doctor dreamed up John and Gillian, it's much safer jut to consider these dreams, removed from the timeline entirely.  Because Jamie and John and Gillian actually are in the same strip — ''[[Invasion of the Quarks]]'' — it's much easier just to believe his TVC exploits with the Doctor are part of that same "dream continuity".  There's no particular reason to have faith in the order of these stories, since they're dreams anyway, but for convenience will choose publication order as the order in which the dreams occurred.

== Not placeable ==
* [[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks (TV story)|The Power of the Daleks]]''
These stories are not easily placeable, since they have no companion, but neither is the Doctor in exile on 20th century Earth.  Maybe they ''are'' a part of Season 6b, but if so, they're a part never clearly outlined in any narrative. It's equally possible that the Doctor had better control of his TARDIS than he let on.  He ''could'' have slipped away during a dull moment in a televised story.  Because of this uncertainty, it's safest to say that we just don't know ''when'' they occurred.
: Set immediately after ''The Tenth Planet'', with the Doctor adjusting to his new body as he faces the [[Daleks]] on [[Vulcan]]. Ben and Polly encounter the Daleks for the first time, though they had already been told of them beforehand. While Polly instantly believes him to still be the Doctor, Ben remains more skeptical on his identity, though he is convinced he is still the Doctor when the Daleks identity him.

Latest revision as of 19:12, 26 October 2024

Index → Timey-wimey detector → Timeline - Second 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 Second 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. 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 Database, Whopix, the Big Finish forums, The Whoniverse 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[[edit source]]

Companions[[edit source]]

Any story featuring only Ben Jackson and Polly Wright must take place before TV: The Highlanders; any story featuring Jamie McCrimmon must take place after TV: The Highlanders. Any story with Victoria Waterfield must take place after TV: The Evil of the Daleks and before TV: Fury from the Deep. Any story with Zoe Heriot must be set during or after TV: The Wheel in Space and before TV: The War Games.

A lot of stories are often said to occur during Season 6B, a fan-opined spot on the timeline after the Doctor's trial on Gallifrey in The War Games, as the Second Doctor is not seen regenerating into his third incarnation in that serial. Thus it is possible to imagine, as TV Comic writers and Terrance Dicks did, that the Second Doctor survived for an unspecified period of time after The War Games. It was not until 1999 with the publication of PROSE: Players that Season 6B was confirmed as fact instead of pure conjecture.

TV Comics placement[[edit source]]

The Second Doctor's travels with John and Gillian are very problematic to place in the Doctor's timeline, as they are inexplicably travelling with him by The Extortioner, with no explanation given as to how this relate to their travels with the First Doctor. A possibility emerges, unintentionally, in The Nameless City, where the Doctor has not seen the Master in a long time, but Jamie doesn't know the Doctor's origins, meaning it cannot be set in Season 6b, but must come after The Dark Path. Thus there is a gap between the events of The Dark Path and The Nameless City, without Jamie, which is perfectly placed by the John and Gillian travels.

The stories Conundrum and The Land of Happy Endings hypothesise that these adventures are either stories created by The Master of the Land of Fiction or the Doctor's dreams.

The Two Doctors[[edit source]]

A common explanation for the Second Doctor and Jamie's appearance in The Two Doctors is it occurring after The War Games in the theorised Season 6B owing to their older appearance and familiarity with the Time Lords who Jamie did not learn of until The War Games. Terrance Dicks later used his novel World Game to depict events bridging the end of The War Games to the start of The Two Doctors, with the Doctor bargaining with the Time Lords for Jamie to be returned to his side (with his memories altered so he believes they are still travelling with Victoria) and being instructed to visit Dastari.

However Simon Guerrier later used his story, The Black Hole, to offer an alternative setting for The Two Doctors in the middle of Season 5 instead. By this account the Doctor and Jamie are given their mission to visit Dastari by the Time Lord Pavo (in actuality the Monk in disguise) whilst Victoria stays behind with him at a research station. The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria have their memories wiped of meeting Pavo at the end of the story, allowing for The War Games to remain Jamie's first hearing of the Time Lords. John Dorney's story Deathworld would further confirm The Two Doctors occurring in this setting, with Jamie explicitly referencing both the status quo of Victoria waiting for them at the research station from The Black Hole and events of The Two Doctors.

As a result of these differing accounts there are two placements for The Two Doctors on this timeline.

Timeline[[edit source]]

Previous page: First Doctor

A new body[[edit source]]

The Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation.
Set immediately after The Tenth Planet, with the Doctor adjusting to his new body as he faces the Daleks on Vulcan. Ben and Polly encounter the Daleks for the first time, though they had already been told of them beforehand. While Polly instantly believes him to still be the Doctor, Ben remains more skeptical on his identity, though he is convinced he is still the Doctor when the Daleks identity him.
(SEGMENT)
Whilst leaving Vulcan, the Doctor, Ben and Polly briefly encounter an apparition of a Charley Pollard from an alternate timeline. (AUDIO: The Light at the End)
The Doctor has only just regenerated, and is mourning the loss of his old signet ring, setting this shortly after The Power of the Daleks.
(FLASHBACKS)
Having learned that the Mercury supplies were low when they had "just left" Mercury, the Doctor stocks up the supplies on Kirith. He reflects on the "past few weeks" since his regeneration, during which time tensions in the TARDIS have been noticeably high, with Ben still suspicious of him. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Apocalypse)

New adventures with Ben and Polly[[edit source]]

Ben still doesn't trust the Doctor, to the extend that he continues to think of him as an imposter. However, after their minds connect in a temporary gestalt, Ben senses the First Doctor in the Second Doctor's mind and finally accepts him as still being the Doctor, setting this after Timewyrm: Apocalypse.
The Doctor is still feeling vulnerable following his recent regeneration, though Ben believes he is being self-pitying, as the events of The Power of the Daleks were three weeks ago. While he still struggling to adjust to the Second Doctor, Ben has come to accept that he is still the same man as the First Doctor, setting this after Pluto.
The Doctor's memory is still hazy after his recent regeneration, setting this shortly after The Power of the Daleks, but Ben accepts him as the Doctor, setting this after Pluto.
While spending a few weeks in 1968, Polly thinks of the "new Doctor" as "familiar and strange at the same time", suggesting The Power of the Daleks is still a recent event. However, her and Ben's actions suggest they now trust the Doctor implicitly.
The Doctor tells Polly that he's been in a more "youthful vein" since his "reincarnation" in The Tenth Planet.
The TARDIS crew spend a week on the planet Dorada as brainwashed servants.
No explanations are given for Ben and Polly's absence.
The Doctor mentions that he has been working on several devices since his "reincarnation" that his first incarnation wouldn't have deemed worth his time, suggesting that some time has passed since The Power of the Daleks.
Despite evidence to the contrary in the First Doctor's stories, the Second Doctor claims this is the first time the TARDIS has ever managed a short hop.
When they meet Horatio Nelson, Polly mentions that it's been a "long time" since the TARDIS crew were on Earth, and Ben hasn't seen the sea for "ever so long".
The Doctor creates a temporary sonic device, and resolves to begin work on a permanent version when he gets back to the TARDIS, implied to lead to the eventual creation of a sonic screwdriver. The Doctor meets the Selachians for the first time, having only heard of them previously. Ben and Polly have been travelling in the TARDIS for months, with Polly being 24-years-old. Ben trusts the Doctor, but is still a little uncertain about his motivations.
The Doctor says that he has not been in the United States for some time, setting this before Wonderland, and Ben and Polly are now well adjusted to him.
The Doctor unlocks a door with an apparent sonic screwdriver, setting this after The Murder Game. Summer notes that Ben and Polly are incredibly loyal to the Doctor.
Polly encounters a younger version of herself in 1948.

Joined by Jamie[[edit source]]

During a visit to 1746 Scotland, the Doctor, Ben and Polly meet highlander piper Jamie McCrimmon, who they invite aboard the TARDIS so he can escape the redcoats.
Set immediately after The Highlanders, with Jamie marvelling at the sight of the TARDIS interior before the TARDIS crew arrive at Atlantis. After they flood Atlantis to stop Professor Zaroff destroying Earth, the Doctor sets a course to visit Mars, leading directly into The Moonbase.
Rather than Mars, the TARDIS instead lands on the Moon in 2070, where the crew help prevent the Cybermen from seizing the Moonbase. As they depart, the Doctor uses the TARDIS' time scanner to see their next destination, leading directly into The Macra Terror.
In an alternate timeline created by Rassilon and the Cybermen, the Doctor is partially converted into a Cyberman during the events of The Moonbase: Episode 2.
Polly has her hair cut into a bob-style while staying on an Earth colony in the far future, which the TARDIS crew liberate from the control of the Macra.
Ben and Polly are showing Jamie around the inside of the TARDIS, setting this early in his travels, and they themselves have only been travelling with the Doctor for a few weeks.
The Doctor warns Jamie what he should do if he ever encounters the Pyromeths, which is implied to be a warning he gives to recent additions to the TARDIS, setting this shortly after The Highlanders.
While Polly is described as having long hair, Jamie is still having difficulty acclimatising to time travel, and Ben and Polly bring him up to date with the history of the United Kingdom after his own time, setting this early in his travels. However, he is starting to consider the TARDIS home and has explored the ship's corridors, setting this after Something at the Door. Ben and Polly appear to return to London for the first time since The War Machines, albeit in a time long before their own.
The TARDIS has "finally" found its way back to England, suggesting that the TARDIS crew have not been there for a while, and that the story is set before The Morton Legacy. Jamie learns about trains and World Wars for the first time, setting this before Resistance and The Forsaken, respectively.
Set between The Macra Terror and The Faceless Ones.[1] The Doctor has still only recently regenerated. Polly doesn't know about the TARDIS' translation circuit, and also doesn't appear to have much experience travelling to Earth's recent history. The Doctor tries to tell Jamie what a train is, but he seems to know already, setting this after The Mouthless Dead.
Jamie is apparently still new to the TARDIS, constantly asking Ben about a range of modern terms, with Ben himself saying that he hasn't known Jamie that long, setting this not long after The Highlanders.

Final adventures with Ben and Polly[[edit source]]

The TARDIS crew spend several months in the Roman Republic of 71 BCE, from with their stay starting in Winter and ending in Autumn.
Jamie is familiar with cars, and recalls his first encounter with them as if it were some time ago.
Ben refers to his encounter with the Milice during the events of Resistance. Jamie meets the Selachians for the first time.
Polly recalls the events of Resistance, while Jamie refers to the events of the The Selachian Gambit.
The Doctor begins to teach his companions how to pilot the TARDIS, but they end up fighting the Yes Men in New Houston when he takes back control. Jamie is described as being "perhaps a year older" than the 22-year-old Jamie fighting at the Battle of Culloden in the Yes Men simulation, suggesting that around a year has passed since The Highlanders.
Set shortly after The Yes Men, with Jamie, Ben and Polly discussing their recent failed piloting to New Houston and being upset with the Doctor for not letting them pilot the TARDIS again. Jamie learns of the TARDIS translation circuitry for the first time.
Polly is used to seeing history, but not that of London, despite her previous visits in The Feast and The Roundheads.
While Polly is described as having short hair, the Doctor recalls the events of The Yes Men, Jamie appears familiar with time travel and the TARDIS crew is a close-knitted unit.

The Human Factor incident[[edit source]]

Polly's hair has regrown to its old length, setting this long after The Macra Terror. Arriving at Gatwick Airport, the Doctor foils a Chemeleon plot to replace humanity. When they realise they have landed on the same day they left in the TARDIS, Ben and Polly decide to remain behind. After they say their goodbyes, the Doctor and Jamie realise that the TARDIS has been stolen, leading directly into The Evil of the Daleks. In the novelisation, the Doctor uses a sonic screwdriver.
The Doctor and Jamie trace the TARDIS to Edward Waterfield, a man who time travelled from 1866 under the orders of the Daleks to trap the Doctor in return for the safety of his daughter, Victoria. The Dalek Emperor forces the Doctor to inject them with the Human Factor so they can isolate the Dalek Factor, but the Doctor's Humanised Daleks begin a battle with the Emperor's Daleks on Skaro, seemingly resulting in "the final end" of the Daleks. Waterfield dies protecting the Doctor from the Daleks, but not before making him promise to look after his daughter, causing the Doctor to take on Victoria as a companion to honour his promise.
(PROLOGUE)
As they leave Skaro, the Doctor and Jamie introduce Victoria to the TARDIS, and the Doctor tells her that he is "around 450-years-old" in Earth terms. As he takes her to find a change of clothes, Jamie tells the Doctor to try "a smooth take off" to keep from frightening Victoria. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen)
While Victoria sleeps in the TARDIS, the Doctor and Jamie take a quick trip to Tersimmon, where they encounter the Daleks again, despite believing to have just seen their "final end", with the Doctor still troubled by his part in the apparent genocide, setting this almost immediately after The Evil of the Daleks.

Early adventures with Victoria[[edit source]]

For her first trip, the Doctor and Jamie end up taking Victoria to Telos, just in time to stop the Brotherhood of Logicians from freeing the CyberTelosians from their cyber-tombs.
Set in an aborted timeline during The Tomb of the Cybermen: Episode 1, when Jamie and Peter Haydon entered the weapons testing room.
During an alternative timeline created by corruption during the Time War. Upon opening the doors of the Cyber Tomb, the Second Doctor finds himself suddenly searching for the last human Tomb after the Cybermen had seemingly wiped them out instead.
While authorial intent places this between The Web of Fear and Fury from the Deep [2], Victoria is still very new to seeing other time periods. The Doctor also gives Victoria a brief talk regarding the extraordinary nature of her new life as a time traveller, echoing the conversation that they had in The Tomb of the Cybermen.
The Doctor has not encountered a Yeti of any kind before, setting this before The Abominable Snowmen.
The Doctor meets Professor Edward Travers and faces the Great Intelligence and the Robot Yetis for the first time at the Det-Sen Monastery in Tibet. The events of The Tomb of the Cybermen are still fresh in Jamie's thoughts.[quote 1]
When the TARDIS lands in the Second Ice Age of 5000, Jamie initially thinks that the TARDIS has only landed further up the Tibetan mountain, setting this immediately after The Abominable Snowmen.[quote 2] The Doctor faces the Ice Warriors.
Set during The Ice Warriors: Episode 6, just after the Doctor disabled the Ice Warrior's sonic cannon.

Forgotten missions with Jamie[[edit source]]

The TARDIS console room is still a mess from the previous landing in The Ice Warriors. Meeting another Time Lord called Pavo, the Doctor and Jamie are asked to visit Joinson Dastari while Victoria decides to remain with Pavo to study graphology and the Doctor is given a Stattenheim remote control, setting up for The Two Doctors.
One of two possible placements for this story, during The Black Hole. The Doctor and Jamie have been sent by Time Lords to see Joinson Dastari at Space Station Camera, where the Doctor is kidnapped by Sontarans in an Androgum plot to obtain time travel, and has to be rescued from their experiments by the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown.
(REFERENCE)
The Doctor and Jamie visit the City of Owls and help out the people of Mackenzie. (AUDIO: The Black Hole)
Jamie wishes to get back to Victoria and "the space station" as soon as possible, setting this during The Black Hole.
Thinking they have finally returned to Victoria at the research station, the Doctor and Jamie are drawn off course by Death and arrive at UNIT HQ, setting this between The Black Hole parts 3 and 4. Jamie wonders if recent experiments involving Sontarans affecting the Doctor's mind, referencing The Two Doctors. The events of this story are eventually reset and memories of them forgotten, setting the stage for The Three Doctors later in this Doctor's timeline.
After "a couple of weeks" of adventures, the Doctor and Jamie return for Victoria, and learn that "Pavo" was the Monk in disguise. After assisting the real Pavo in foiling the Monk's plan, the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria have their memories of the events erased.

Continued adventures with Jamie and Victoria[[edit source]]

Jamie and Victoria are pleased to feel some warmth after their recent adventures in both the Himalayas and the Ice Age, setting this shortly after The Ice Warriors.
Set between The Ice Warriors and Enemy of the World, according to the back cover. The Doctor uses his new sonic screwdriver, which he had previously resolved to create in The Murder Game. The Doctor believes that he and his friends have been "frozen out" recently, suggesting a setting not long after The Ice Warriors.
The Doctor is "breaking in" his new sonic screwdriver, suggesting a setting shortly after Dreams of Empire.
Victoria has only been travelling with the Doctor for a short time, but has become accustomed to the "unusual" happenings in his adventures. No explanation is given for the absence of Jamie.
Victoria recalls the events of The Evil of the Daleks and The Tomb of the Cybermen as being recent, but has also been travelling in the TARDIS long enough to have grown accustomed to the fact that it can travel in time and space. After a traumatic visit to 1866 London, Victoria decides that she will never return to her own time and that her home is now with the Doctor and Jamie.
Jamie tells Victoria he has not yet learned to write, setting this before Heart of TARDIS.
Victoria is teaching Jamie to read, starting with letters, suggesting a setting shortly after she learnt he couldn't write in The Lost .
The Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria have just come from a disturbing adventure in Galaxy G.
The Doctor is traveling with Victoria, and Jamie's absence goes unexplained.
While the authorial intent displayed on the back cover would set this prior to The Abominable Snowmen, Jamie having learned to write in English, albeit not very well, sets this after The Lost. The Doctor still feels "new" to his body, and Victoria recalls an adventure the TARDIS crew had "a few weeks ago", meaning she has been travelling with the Doctor and Jamie for at least a few weeks.
The Doctor refers to the tropical beach as "a welcome change", setting this before The Enemy of the World.
Set between The Ice Warriors and The Enemy of the World, according to the author's notes.
The Doctor is currently travelling with Jamie and Victoria. (DWM 475) He helps in the saving of Gallifrey on the last day of the Last Great Time War, and, in the novelisation, has a tea party with his other incarnations in the Under-Gallery as a celebration.
Victoria sees a hallucination of her deceased father for the first time, setting this before Father Figure.
The Doctor learns Venusian aikido on Venus.

The London Event[[edit source]]

(SEGMENT)
The TARDIS arrives on an Australian beach. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Apocalypse)
After the TARDIS lands in 2018 Australia, the Doctor gets caught up masquerading as his doppelgänger, Ramón Salamander, in order to topple his power regime. Once Salamander is exposed as a criminal, however, he uses his likeness of the Doctor to infiltrate the TARDIS, only to be sucked out into the Time Vortex. Jamie and Victoria see a helicopter for the first time.

Currently unplaced[[edit source]]

These entries are placed here due to being part of ongoing storylines that have yet to offer sufficient enough evidence to be placed in a specific part of this Doctor's timeline, unless further evidence arises in the stories to come.

Awaiting placement[[edit source]]

These entries are placed here until a suitable position in the timeline can be determined based on the available evidence.
The Doctor has been tinkering with a Stattenheim remote control and uses it in front of Jamie for the first time, setting this before The Two Doctors. Since Jamie is not described as an adult, and considering that The Two Doctors follows directly on from World Game, with no plausible gap in between, this must occur during The Black Hole. However, Jamie is also familiar with the sonic screwdriver, suggesting a setting after Fury from the Deep, assuming he had not encountered it before having his memories wiped in The Black Hole.
