The Sixth Doctor's stories can be sorted roughly by which companions he travels with and also the medium in which the companions first appeared together.
When the oldest Doctor goes through the chronology of his companions in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Firstborn (audio story)|The Firstborn]]'' to prove his age, he starts by listing [[Peri Brown]], then [[Frobisher]], then his joint travels with Peri and Frobisher, followed by his lone travels with Peri, then his brief travels with [[Grant Markham]], his brief reunion with Peri in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)|Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'' and his brief travels with [[Mathew Sharpe]]. When he brings up [[Evelyn Smythe]], he mentions that he took a side-trip to reunite with Frobisher, have his adventure with Peri's granddaughter in ''[[The Age of Chaos (comic story)|The Age of Chaos]]'' and partake in the "Locum Doctors" trilogy with [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Zoe Heriot]] in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Last of the Cybermen (audio story)|Last of the Cybermen]]'' before he and Evelyn were temporary joined by [[Thomas Brewster]]. After covering his adventure in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wrong Doctors (audio story)|The Wrong Doctors]]'', he lists off his crossover appearances in ''[[Jago & Litefoot: Series Four]]'', mentions [[Mila]] due to [[Charlotte Pollard]] replacing herself with her in his memories during [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Blue Forgotten Planet (audio story)|Blue Forgotten Planet]]'' and his escapades in the [[Land of Fiction]]. He follows with how he was joined by in succession by [[Flip Jackson]] and Queen Peri of [[Krontep]], before undergoing the events of [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Ultimate Adventure (audio story)|The Ultimate Adventure]]'', and then beginning the [[TARDIS Gang]] with [[Constance Clarke]].

=== Recovering from a difficult regeneration ===
* [[TV]]: ''[[The Caves of Androzani (TV story)|The Caves of Androzani]]''  
: The Doctor [[Regeneration|regenerates]] from his [[Fifth Doctor|previous incarnation]].
 
* [[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]''
: Set immediately after ''The Caves of Androzani'', with the Doctor suffering severe bouts of post-regeneration trauma, such as mood swings and deliriousness, even attacking Peri while en route to a holiday on [[Vesta 95]]. When he tries to banish himself to [[Titan III]] in atonement, the Doctor finds himself embroiled in [[Azmael XIII]]'s kidnapping of [[Romulus Sylvest|Romulus]] and [[Remus Sylvest]] for [[Mestor]] in an attempt to save [[Jaconda]] from the mad [[Gastropod]]. As his regeneration stabilises, the Doctor is able to defeat Mestor, though not without Azmael sacrificing his life.
 
* [[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]''
: In the "past couple of days", the Doctor has recovered from his regeneration, but is still haunted by "the bleakness of Jaconda", setting this shortly after ''The Twin Dilemma'', though he also notes that he and Peri have "spent too long in the TARDIS". The [[chameleon circuit]] within [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] is briefly rendered operational. The Doctor begins using a [[sonic lance]], though it is destroyed on [[Telos]] when the Time Lords maneuver the Doctor into stopping the [[Cybermen]] preventing [[Mondas]]' destruction.
 
* [[TV]]: ''[[Vengeance on Varos (TV story)|Vengeance on Varos]]''
: The Doctor is still tinkering with the TARDIS's systems, and he and Peri have recently left Telos, setting this shortly after ''Attack of the Cybermen''. Visiting [[Varos]] to find some [[Zeiton-7]] needed to complete the TARDIS's repairs, the Doctor encounters [[Sil]] the [[Mentor]] for the first time when he is forced to close down the [[Punishment Dome]] on Varos, an escapade that involves Peri nearly being turned into an avian by a [[tissue transmogrifier]].
 
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Telling Tales (short story)|Telling Tales]]''
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Telling Tales (short story)|Telling Tales]]''
: The Doctor has just left Varos.
: Although Peri is now convinced that the Doctor does not pose a physical threat to her, she still nonetheless feels uncomfortable in his presence and feels responsible for his bad moods and mini rages. The Doctor detects something following the TARDIS as they depart Varos, setting this directly after ''Vengeance on Varos''.
 
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Shell Shock (novel)|Shell Shock]]''
: Peri's most recent traumatic memories include being momentarily transformed into an avian hybrid during ''Vengeance on Varos''.
 
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Grave Matter (novel)|Grave Matter]]''

* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Synthespians™]]''
 
* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Moon Graffiti (short story)|Moon Graffiti]]''
: The Doctor admits that he damaged the TARDIS more significantly than he thought in his post-regenerative state and that acquiring the Zeiton-7 ore from Varos was only the first step in running the repairs the TARDIS needs, setting this shortly after ''Vengeance on Varos''. The TARDIS needs recalibrated as several of the vital systems aren't working and as such Peri hasn't had a proper meal in days, suggesting as long has passed since ''The Caves of Androzani''. The Doctor believes he has successfully recalibrated the TARDIS, although Peri decides to wait and see before taking him at his word.
 
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[House (short story)|House]]''
: Although the Doctor has settled into his new personality, Peri finds him to be a distant and enigmatic figure and far less pleasant than the version of the Doctor she met in Lanzarote, leading her to consider leaving the TARDIS.

: Set between ''Vengeance on Varos'' and ''Mark of the Rani'', according to the back cover. Peri still hasn't adjusted to the Doctor's new body and keeps expecting to see the Fifth Doctor. She also claims that she's known this new Doctor longer than she did the original, although this is presumably working on the assumption that ''Caves of Androzani'' was her first trip in the TARDIS after ''Planet of Fire''. According to Peri, a subjective month has passed since ''Vengeance on Varos''. She ponders whether the Doctor cares anymore and feels as though he might not be concerned whether she lives or dies.

The Doctor assures Peri that he would never abandon her, and is more openly fond of her, showing a progression in their relationship.

IndexTimey-wimey detector → Timeline - Sixth 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 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.

Timeline[[edit source]]

Previous page: Fifth Doctor

Recovering from a difficult regeneration[[edit source]]

The Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation.
Set immediately after The Caves of Androzani, with the Doctor suffering severe bouts of post-regeneration trauma, such as mood swings and deliriousness, even attacking Peri while en route to a holiday on Vesta 95. When he tries to banish himself to Titan III in atonement, the Doctor finds himself embroiled in Azmael XIII's kidnapping of Romulus and Remus Sylvest for Mestor in an attempt to save Jaconda from the mad Gastropod. As his regeneration stabilises, the Doctor is able to defeat Mestor, though not without Azmael sacrificing his life.
In the "past couple of days", the Doctor has recovered from his regeneration, but is still haunted by "the bleakness of Jaconda", setting this shortly after The Twin Dilemma, though he also notes that he and Peri have "spent too long in the TARDIS". The chameleon circuit within the Doctor's TARDIS is briefly rendered operational. The Doctor begins using a sonic lance, though it is destroyed on Telos when the Time Lords maneuver the Doctor into stopping the Cybermen preventing Mondas' destruction.
The Doctor is still tinkering with the TARDIS's systems, and he and Peri have recently left Telos, setting this shortly after Attack of the Cybermen. Visiting Varos to find some Zeiton-7 needed to complete the TARDIS's repairs, the Doctor encounters Sil the Mentor for the first time when he is forced to close down the Punishment Dome on Varos, an escapade that involves Peri nearly being turned into an avian by a tissue transmogrifier.
Although Peri is now convinced that the Doctor does not pose a physical threat to her, she still nonetheless feels uncomfortable in his presence and feels responsible for his bad moods and mini rages. The Doctor detects something following the TARDIS as they depart Varos, setting this directly after Vengeance on Varos.
Peri's most recent traumatic memories include being momentarily transformed into an avian hybrid during Vengeance on Varos.
The Doctor is running in his new supply of Zeiton-7, setting this shortly after Vengeance on Varos, and claims that the next step is to recalibrate the TARDIS systems, suggesting a setting before Moon Graffiti. Peri receives a scar on her forehead during a visit to the planet Dorsill.
The Doctor admits that he damaged the TARDIS more significantly than he thought in his post-regenerative state and that acquiring the Zeiton-7 ore from Varos was only the first step in running the repairs the TARDIS needs, setting this shortly after Vengeance on Varos. The TARDIS needs recalibrated as several of the vital systems aren't working and as such Peri hasn't had a proper meal in days, suggesting as long has passed since The Caves of Androzani. The Doctor believes he has successfully recalibrated the TARDIS, although Peri decides to wait and see before taking him at his word.
Although the Doctor has settled into his new personality, Peri finds him to be a distant and enigmatic figure and far less pleasant than the version of the Doctor she met in Lanzarote, leading her to consider leaving the TARDIS. However after the Doctor tells her about his granddaughter Susan, Peri elects to remain with the Doctor.
Set between Vengeance on Varos and Mark of the Rani, according to the back cover. Peri still hasn't adjusted to the Doctor's new body and keeps expecting to see the Fifth Doctor. She also claims that she's known this new Doctor longer than she did the original, although this is presumably working on the assumption that Caves of Androzani was her first trip in the TARDIS after Planet of Fire. According to Peri, a subjective month has passed since Vengeance on Varos. She ponders whether the Doctor cares anymore and feels as though he might not be concerned whether she lives or dies. Peri sees the Doctor act genuinely happy and cheerful for the first time since his regeneration, which he describes as having happened "comparatively recently".

When Peri admits she is feeling homesick, the Doctor decides to take her on a trip to 1985 New York. While they are there, Peri is mugged and the Doctor is knocked unconscious while trying to catch the thief. While unconscious, the Doctor's mind is infiltrated by a microscopic CHAOS droid which plagues him with terrible dreams, such as the death of Tegan and him murdering an innocent man. The Doctor considers criticising Peri when she is trying to help him, but thinks better of it, considering it ungallant.
Peri is 19 years old and believes it’s her fault that he has become who he is due to the Fifth Doctor sacrificing himself on Androzani. The Doctor feels trapped in his new incarnation and feels responsible for deaths that he believes were caused by his own stupidity and arrogance. He kills a vampire with his bare hands, although regrets the violence and abuse he has put Peri through since his regeneration. Peri is disturbed by all the violence and death she has witnessed recently, but refuses to give up on the Doctor because he is her best friend.

The Doctor returns Tegan to Heathrow Airport, setting this after A Fix with Sontarans. The Doctor believes that "somewhere between a couple of months and a year" have passed since Tegan left in Resurrection of the Daleks, although admits it depends on individual perception of chronology that him being a Time Lord would affect.

Travels with Peri & Herbert[[edit source]]

Peri's hair is significantly longer than it was in The Two Doctors, and the Doctor shows irritation towards her naivety, though he fiercely strives to protect her and she grieves for him greatly when she believes he has died. When the Doctor offers to take her back home to 1985, she is quick to refuse, suggesting she has now firmly decided to stay with the Doctor. Peri claims to have never visited 12th century Earth with the Doctor, and says she hasn't had the chance to relax in "a while".

Quotes[[edit source]]

  1. DOCTOR: "I think I've been overdoing things. I haven't felt at all myself, lately."
    PERI: "I don't know which is yourself."
    DOCTOR: "Exactly. This re...generation..."
  2. DOCTOR: "I must say, I'm surprised to see you. The last time we met, your ship blew up. I thought with you on board."
  3. PERI: "I've coped with the past before, you know."
    DOCTOR: "Well, that past was two hundred years in the future. It's not half so civilised or well drained here."
  4. PERI: "My home? If they could see me now."
  5. PERI: "Doctor! I never thought I'd see you again!"
  6. FROBISHER: "You've been dragging me all over the galaxy in that contraption of yours for months now... and not once have we arrived where we set off for!"
  7. DOCTOR: "It'd be rotten luck if you made the wrong choice. Then, I'm very much afraid you'd've had it. In a big way. Just have to begin a new adventure."
  8. FORD: "Well, that coat may be all the thing in Piccadilly, son, but, here in DC, folks will take you for a theatrical."

    MEL: "I shall probably regret this, but go on, I'll buy it. Envied me what?"
    DOCTOR: "Your amazing ability for almost total recall."
    MEL: "Compliments. You are undergoing a change."
    DOCTOR: "I could have been comparing you to an elephant. Well, figuratively speaking. They never forget.
  11. "You were unstable. You were travelling the road that leads to the Valeyard." "I was trying to avoid it!" "But you still met Melanie, you still destroyed the Vervoids. You might have delayed our future but you couldn't avert it. You almost killed Mel on Earth in 1999, when you were so close to becoming the Valeyard yourself. That was when I had to act. I had to come out and stop you."" And kill me!" And terminate your regeneration."
