Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

This page attempts to lists appearances of Frobisher 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. This is mainly based on who is traveling with the Doctor at the time of the story and in references to the TV show.
