This page lists '''appearances of the [[Twelfth Doctor]] in the order in which he experienced them'''. This timeline is based upon observations of the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed that for each novel, comic, audio or television series, their published, broadcast or numbered order is the order they occur in.

The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on [http://www.eyespider.org.uk/drwho/pc/list.html Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures], as well as Lance Parkin's ''[[AHistory]]'' and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as [http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/the-twelfth-doctor.html Doctor Who Reviews], [http://www.clivebanks.co.uk/ Clive Banks databanks], [https://whopix.wordpress.com/chronology/12th-doctor/ Whopix], and [http://forums.bigfinish.com/threads/6103-The-Eighth-Doctor%E2%80%99s-Timeline the Big Finish forums].

== Limiting factors ==
=== Characteristics ===
Through Series 8, the Twelfth Doctor is depicted as gruff and confrontational to others, even doubting if he is a "good man" as he hides his nicer qualities behind his grumpy exterior, with his rage notoriously targeted at military figures. Cynical to the point of insensitivity, he could be seen as callous and dismissive, not even enjoying hugs. However, he still acted for the protection of others against aggressors, even when he knew that he only had hard decision to make that had unavoidable loss of life.
 
By Series 9, the Twelfth Doctor had started to embrace his wacky characteristics, just as playing his guitar for enjoyment and using cue cards to improve his socialising. He noticeably become more open to hugging, but only on his terms. However, his fierce anger would still flare up when the need for practicality arose, though he made more an effort to avoid such callousness unless it was truly necessary.
 
In the extended universe material published during the year long between Series 9 and 10, such as ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who Adventures]]'', the Doctor was depicted with the same qualities as Series 9, albeit with his negative qualities turned down, having the Doctor appear as an adventurous gentleman with a habit of telling off anyone who plighted him.
 
In Series 10, having been in self-exile at St Luke's University for a number of years, the Doctor was shown with a wanderlust for traveling for the sheer joy of it and to educate Bill. He also made friends easier due to no longer trying to lord his superiority over others, and valiantly saw himself as Earth's protector, even answering distress signals to show people the universe still had kindness within it. However, his willingness to see the universe away from St. Luke's made him act impulsively and make reckless actions that left his guard down.
 
=== Companions ===
Any story featuring [[Clara Oswald]] must come after [[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'' and before [[TV]]: ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]''.
 
Any story featuring [[Nardole]] must come after the flashback in [[TV]]: ''[[Extremis (TV story)|Extremis]]'' and before [[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]''. Any story featuring [[Bill Potts]] must come after [[TV]]: ''[[The Pilot (TV story)|The Pilot]]'' and before [[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]''.
 
=== Sonic devices ===
During his first season, the Twelfth Doctor continues to use the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s green crystalline [[sonic screwdriver]] model. In his second season, however, he decides to replace his sonic screwdriver with a pair of [[sonic sunglasses]] after losing the screwdriver in [[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'', until the TARDIS gifts him a new sonic screwdriver with a blue metal design at the end of [[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]''. Logically, this would put every story where the Doctor utilises the green crystalline model before ''The Magician's Apprentice'', and every story where he uses the blue metal model after ''Hell Bent''.
 
However, during the [[Titan Publishing Group]] Year 2 comic ''[[Clara Oswald and the School of Death (comic story)|Clara Oswald and the School of Death]]'', confirmed to be set at least after [[TV]]: ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'' by the appearance of two Osgoods, the Doctor reacquires a spare green crystalline model he had lent to Clara during [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fractures (comic story)|The Fractures]]'', explaining how he is able to possess his green crystalline sonic screwdriver in expanded media stories set during Series 9.

Index → Timey-wimey detector → Timeline - Twelfth 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 Twelfth Doctor 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. It is assumed that for each novel, comic, audio or television series, they're published, broadcast or numbered order is the order they occur in.

The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures, as well as Lance Parkin's AHistory and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as Doctor Who Reviews, Clive Banks databanks, Whopix, and the Big Finish forums. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Limiting factors[[edit source]]

Characteristics[[edit source]]

Through Series 8, the Twelfth Doctor is depicted as gruff and confrontational to others, even doubting if he is a "good man" as he hides his nicer qualities behind his grumpy exterior, with his rage notoriously targeted at military figures. Cynical to the point of insensitivity, he could be seen as callous and dismissive, not even enjoying hugs. However, he still acted for the protection of others against aggressors, even when he knew that he only had hard decision to make that had unavoidable loss of life.

By Series 9, the Twelfth Doctor had started to embrace his wacky characteristics, just as playing his guitar for enjoyment and using cue cards to improve his socialising. He noticeably become more open to hugging, but only on his terms. However, his fierce anger would still flare up when the need for practicality arose, though he made more an effort to avoid such callousness unless it was truly necessary.

In the extended universe material published during the year long between Series 9 and 10, such as Doctor Who Magazine and Doctor Who Adventures, the Doctor was depicted with the same qualities as Series 9, albeit with his negative qualities turned down, having the Doctor appear as an adventurous gentleman with a habit of telling off anyone who plighted him.

In Series 10, having been in self-exile at St Luke's University for a number of years, the Doctor was shown with a wanderlust for traveling for the sheer joy of it and to educate Bill. He also made friends easier due to no longer trying to lord his superiority over others, and valiantly saw himself as Earth's protector, even answering distress signals to show people the universe still had kindness within it. However, his willingness to see the universe away from St. Luke's made him act impulsively and make reckless actions that left his guard down.

Companions[[edit source]]

Any story featuring Clara Oswald must come after TV: Deep Breath and before TV: Face the Raven.

Any story featuring Nardole must come after the flashback in TV: Extremis and before TV: World Enough and Time. Any story featuring Bill Potts must come after TV: The Pilot and before TV: World Enough and Time.

Sonic devices[[edit source]]

During his first season, the Twelfth Doctor continues to use the Eleventh Doctor's green crystalline sonic screwdriver model. In his second season, however, he decides to replace his sonic screwdriver with a pair of sonic sunglasses after losing the screwdriver in TV: The Magician's Apprentice, until the TARDIS gifts him a new sonic screwdriver with a blue metal design at the end of TV: Hell Bent. Logically, this would put every story where the Doctor utilises the green crystalline model before The Magician's Apprentice, and every story where he uses the blue metal model after Hell Bent.

However, during the Titan Publishing Group Year 2 comic Clara Oswald and the School of Death, confirmed to be set at least after TV: The Zygon Inversion by the appearance of two Osgoods, the Doctor reacquires a spare green crystalline model he had lent to Clara during COMIC: The Fractures, explaining how he is able to possess his green crystalline sonic screwdriver in expanded media stories set during Series 9.

Early experiences[[edit source]]

The Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation in the TARDIS after escaping the Siege of Trenzalore with Clara Oswald, but the TARDIS starts crashlanding.
Immediately after his regeneration, the Doctor decides to "take matters into [his] own hands" upon discovering that he still isn't ginger.
Following on from The Time of the Doctor, the Doctor manages to bring the TARDIS to 1898 London after it is swallowed by a Tyrannosaurus rex, which is killed by the Half-Face Man while the Paternoster Gang and Clara help the Doctor recover from his regeneration, and as Clara adjusts to the change. According to Strax, Clara is 27-years-old. After fending off the Clockwork Droids with the Paternoster Gang, the Doctor leaves Clara behind for a few hours while he refurbishes the TARDIS console room, such as changing the blue neon piping in the time rotor to amber. When he returns, Clara initially makes to leave due to distrusting the Doctor, until a phone call from the Eleventh Doctor convinces her to give his twelfth incarnation a chance. As he begins to ponder who gave her the TARDIS phone number, Clara sends the Doctor for coffee in 2014 Glasgow.
The Doctor helps in the saving of Gallifrey on the last day of the Last Great Time War, and, in the novelisation, travels to the War Room to coordinate disaster relief for Gallifrey. He is alone, has short hair, and his console room is glowing blue, suggesting a setting during Deep Breath, after he leaves Clara in Victorian London and before he redecorated the TARDIS.
Set shortly after Deep Breath, with the Doctor writing in his diary about defeating the Half-Face Man.

En route to delivering the coffee to Clara, the Doctor saves Journey Blue from the Daleks, and is asked to venture into a broken Dalek, whom he nicknames "Rusty", to see if they can be redeemed. The Doctor picks up Clara from Coal Hill School, three weeks after Deep Breath from her perspective, to help him, as he is unsure if he is still a "good man". After Rusty sees hatred in him, the Doctor returns Clara to Coal Hill, both still unsure if he is "good", but convinced he is trying to be. Clara meets Danny Pink for the first time.
The Doctor is contemplating what he would be like as a Dalek, setting this immediately after Into the Dalek.

Clara describes Danny as her "potential boyfriend", suggesting a setting between their first date in Listen and their second date in Time Heist.
The Doctor is picking Clara up for some adventures while she prepares for another date with Danny, but a call from Madame Karabraxos leads them to recruit augmented human Psi and mutant human Saibra to break into the Bank of Karabraxos during a solar storm to free the Teller and it's mate from Karabraxos' younger self.

Deciding to help Clara find closure, the Doctor takes her to the 3W Institute and learns that the Master, now in a female body and calling herself "Missy", is preparing to invade London with her "Cyberdears", leading directly into Death in Heaven.
Missy, who is revealed to be the one who gave Clara the Doctor's phone number, is captured by UNIT as the Cybermen take flight, and the Doctor is made "President of Earth" in the face of the Cybermen rising from the graves. Missy kills the Zygon Osgood, while Danny, having fought off the cyber-conversion, sacrifices himself to stop the Cybermen, and Missy is apparently killed by a cyber-resurrected Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart after giving the Doctor the coordinates to Gallifrey. Not finding Gallifrey, the Doctor lies about it to Clara, and the two part ways again, though with the Doctor assured that, rather than being "a good man", he is "an idiot" that goes around helping others.
