=== Costume ===
=== Costume ===
The Fourth Doctor has an advantage when dating his stories due to his costume. The Doctor started out with a small red coat, a rainbow scarf, and blue geans. His coat soon grew to a larger deep brown coat. Eventually, his costume turned into the "red" version. This makes dating very simple when looking at how the Doctor is dressed.
The Fourth Doctor has an advantage when dating his stories due to his costume. The Doctor started out with a short red blazer, a rainbow scarf, and tweed trousers. He soon switched to longer frock coats, in colors of grey, dark red, and dark brown. Eventually, his costume turned into the "red" version. This makes dating very simple when looking at how the Doctor is dressed (with the exception of certain oddities, like [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Sinister Sponge (short story)|The Sinister Sponge]]'').

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'', ''[[The Story So Far... (short story)|The Story So Far...]]'')''
 
=== Helping the ''Nerva Beacon'' ===
* [[TV]]: ''[[The Ark in Space (TV story)|The Ark in Space]]''
: Harry is taking his first trip in the TARDIS, setting this immediately after ''Robot''.<ref group = quote>HARRY: ''"Oh, I say. We've gone!"''<br>SARAH: ''"Who's gone?"''<br>HARRY: ''"I mean, this isn't... we aren't where we were... when... I've gone mad."''</ref> The TARDIS crew arrive at the ''[[Nerva Beacon]]'' due to Harry fiddling with the TARDIS, and assist its crew in fending off the [[Wirrn]]. However, the Wirrn attack damages the [[transmat]] receptors, so the TARDIS crew volunteer to beam down to Earth to do repairs, leading directly into ''The Sontaran Experiment''.
 
* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Ark (audio story)|The Ark]]''
: Alternate account to ''The Ark in Space'', where the Doctor intentionally travels to "Noah's Ark" directly from UNIT HQ accompanied by Sarah and Harry, intending to help revive the sleeping human race in preparation for their return to Earth.

: Set immediately after ''The Sontaran Experiment'', with the [[Time Lord]]s intercepting the transmat beam and giving the Doctor a mission to disrupt the [[creation of the Daleks]] to prevent them becoming a greater threat, and also giving him a [[Time Ring]] to allow him, Sarah and Harry to escape [[Skaro]]. The Doctor meets the Daleks' creator, [[Davros]], for the first time, and, while he is unable to prevent their creation, he hypothesises that his interference has delayed the Daleks' development by a thousand years. After he watches the Daleks [[Extermination|exterminate]] Davros, the Doctor uses the Time Ring to take him, Sarah and Harry away from Skaro.
 
:* [[NOTCOVERED]]: ''[[Charity publication#Regenerations|Regenerations]]

* [[PROSE]]: ''[[A Device of Death (novel)|A Device of Death]]''

* [[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen]]''
: The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are still using the Time Ring, setting this shortly after ''Genesis of the Daleks''.
: Just as they retrieve the TARDIS, the crew receive a summons from the Brigadier.
 
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Nanomorphosis]]''
* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return of the Cybermen (audio story)|Return of the Cybermen]]''
: The TARDIS still needs time to recover from the solar flare radiation.
: Alternate account to ''Revenge of the Cybermen''. In the original ending, the Doctor would learn from the [[Time Lord messenger (Genesis of the Daleks)|Time Lord messenger]] that his involvement in ''Genesis of the Daleks'' has caused several time anomalies and that the Doctor would have to relieve an alternate version of the same events again when time rewinds and changes, leading directly into ''Revenge of the Cybermen''. However, this ending was scrapped.<ref>https://twitter.com/MrJohnDorney/status/1319930958179696640</ref>
 
* [[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)|Revenge of the Cybermen]]''
: The Time Ring brings the Doctor, Sarah and Harry back to the ''Nerva Beacon'', though thousands of years too early, and then returns to the Time Lords. While they wait for the TARDIS to arrive, the crew help save [[Voga]] from being destroyed by the [[CyberNomad]]s. According to Sarah Jane, they have spent the past few weeks trying to get back to Nerva Beacon since ''The Ark in Space''. Just as the TARDIS arrives, the Doctor receives a summons from the Brigadier, leading into ''Terror of the Zygons''.
 
=== Returning to UNIT ===
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Nanomorphosis (short story)|Nanomorphosis]]''
: The TARDIS is knocked off course due to radiation damage, which the Doctor theorises was caused by the solar flares they encountered in ''Revenge of the Cybermen''. <ref group = quote>The Doctor scrambled around the console, looking at the read-outs. ‘Radiation damage, I think — probably the solar flares. She needs to reboot and reconfigure some of the systems. Don’t you, old girl?’</ref> They arrive in [[24th century]] [[Prague]] where they investigate a murder.  
 
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Wolfsbane (novel)|Wolfsbane]]''
* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Wolfsbane (novel)|Wolfsbane]]''
: The TARDIS has recovered and makes its way to Scotland.
: The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are knocked off course en route to Scotland due to interference caused by the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s TARDIS, setting this between ''Revenge of the Cybermen'' and ''Terror of the Zygons''. Harry recounts the events of ''Revenge of the Cybermen'' as his previous adventure before becoming stranded in [[1936]].<ref group = quote>Harry almost laughed then. His, the most straightforward account! He wondered how the Doctor would react if he began, „Well, myself and my two friends - one of whom is also called the Doctor, and is an alien - landed here in our time and space machine, having defeated the plans of a race of evil metal cyber-robots in the far future. We were supposed to be on our way back to the late twentieth century where we were due to help my current employer, a high-up in a secret army organisation which fights alien threats, but unfortunately the time and space machine, which is a bit temperamental, dropped me off here by mistake. By the way, the whole world‟s going to be at war in less than three years.‟</ref> They are wearing their costumes from ''Terror of the Zygons''. Several possible conclusions are presented for the events of this story: One in which Harry becomes a werewolf and kills Sarah, forcing the Doctor to kill him with a silver bullet and experience the events of ''Terror of the Zygons'' alone, another where the Doctor, Sarah and Harry successfully arrive in Scotland, only for an infected Harry to carry out a werewolf killing spree following their encounter with the Zygons, and finally a version of history where the Doctor and Sarah figure out that Harry has been infected by a werewolf several days after leaving Godric behind and begin devising a way to save him. The latter of these is the most likely true version of events and therefore it can be assumed that the Doctor, Sarah and Harry don't make it to Scotland immediately after the events of this story due to the quest to cure Harry.

: After fending off [[Carrionite]]s, the TARDIS lands in Scotland, leading directly into ''Terror of the Zygons''. Harry confirms his first trip in the TARDIS was the arrival on ''Nerva Beacon'' in ''The Ark in Space'', though he also claims it was his last trip, despite evidence to the contrary.

Index → Timey-wimey detector → Timeline - Fourth 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 Fourth 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 assumed, much like their TV story counterparts, that for each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. 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 the Doctor, The Discontinuity Guide, Clive Banks Databank, Whopix, the Big Finish forums 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]]

Costume[[edit source]]

The Fourth Doctor has an advantage when dating his stories due to his costume. The Doctor started out with a short red blazer, a rainbow scarf, and tweed trousers. He soon switched to longer frock coats, in colors of grey, dark red, and dark brown. Eventually, his costume turned into the "red" version. This makes dating very simple when looking at how the Doctor is dressed (with the exception of certain oddities, like PROSE: The Sinister Sponge).

Timeline[[edit source]]

Previous page: Third Doctor

A new body[[edit source]]

The Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation inside his UNIT laboratory with the aid of Cho-Je.
Set immediately after Planet of the Spiders, with the Doctor recovering from his regeneration. Though he intends a fresh start by leaving UNIT behind, the Doctor agrees to help them confront the Scientific Reform Society and their mishandling of K1 in a bid to hold the world hostage with nuclear bombs. Once the crisis is resolved with K1's destruction, the Doctor asks Sarah to continue traveling with him, with UNIT doctor Harry Sullivan following them into the TARDIS.
(REFERENCE)
Sneaking away from UNIT during the events of Robot, presumably during the overnight time-skip in Part Two, the Doctor visits the Mordee colony, and attempts to repair their supercomputer. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Face of Evil)

Infected Timeline[[edit source]]

After the Eighth Doctor accidentally diverts the Third Doctor to Dust, he is shot by Magdelana Bishop, and prematurely regenerates.
As the Third Doctor was prematurely killed, the Fourth Doctor is instead forced to confront the Eight Legs in his place.
(CONJECTURE)
Presumably a sequence of events similar to that of Robot and the attempt to repair Xoanon in Doctor Who and the Face of Evil still occur in the infected timeline.
The Eighth Doctor destroys Gallifrey and Kasterborous, forcing the universe to choose which is the real timeline between the infected and original timelines.
(NOTE)
The Eighth Doctor was uncertain which timeline would become real. Compassion initially told Fitz Kreiner that the Doctor's visit to Dust and the War in Heaven had been unwritten from history. (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell) However, when the Eighth Doctor eventually regained contact with the greater universe, history had been rewritten so that Gallifrey had never even existed, (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street) suggesting that the War had not been erased, but actually continued and ended in some other way. (PROSE: The Book of the War, The Story So Far...)

Helping the Nerva Beacon[[edit source]]

Harry is taking his first trip in the TARDIS, setting this immediately after Robot.[quote 1] The TARDIS crew arrive at the Nerva Beacon due to Harry fiddling with the TARDIS, and assist its crew in fending off the Wirrn. However, the Wirrn attack damages the transmat receptors, so the TARDIS crew volunteer to beam down to Earth to do repairs, leading directly into The Sontaran Experiment.
Alternate account to The Ark in Space, where the Doctor intentionally travels to "Noah's Ark" directly from UNIT HQ accompanied by Sarah and Harry, intending to help revive the sleeping human race in preparation for their return to Earth. The TARDIS crew soon face Narib and mind-controlled members of the Ark crew, including Noah himself. After Narib is defeated, the Doctor and his companions depart the Ark in the TARDIS with the intention of returning to the Brigadier.
Despite the interference of the Sontaran Field Major Styre, the TARDIS crew manage to fix the faulty equipment on Earth and beam back to the Nerva Beacon.

Traveling by Time Ring[[edit source]]

Set immediately after The Sontaran Experiment, with the Time Lords intercepting the transmat beam and giving the Doctor a mission to disrupt the creation of the Daleks to prevent them becoming a greater threat, and also giving him a Time Ring to allow him, Sarah and Harry to escape Skaro. The Doctor meets the Daleks' creator, Davros, for the first time, and, while he is unable to prevent their creation, he hypothesises that his interference has delayed the Daleks' development by a thousand years. After he watches the Daleks exterminate Davros, the Doctor uses the Time Ring to take him, Sarah and Harry away from Skaro.
During an alternative timeline created by corruption during the Time War. The Fourth Doctor becomes a legend on Gallifrey after destroying the Daleks and dying as a result.
Alternate account to Genesis of the Daleks.
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are scattered across the Adelphine Cluster due to temporal disruption interfering with the Time Ring, setting this immediately after Genesis of the Daleks. The Doctor claims to be 748-years-old.
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are still using the Time Ring, setting this shortly after Genesis of the Daleks.
Alternate account to Revenge of the Cybermen. In the original ending, the Doctor would learn from the Time Lord messenger that his involvement in Genesis of the Daleks has caused several time anomalies and that the Doctor would have to relieve an alternate version of the same events again when time rewinds and changes, leading directly into Revenge of the Cybermen. However, this ending was scrapped.[1]
The Time Ring brings the Doctor, Sarah and Harry back to the Nerva Beacon, though thousands of years too early, and then returns to the Time Lords. While they wait for the TARDIS to arrive, the crew help save Voga from being destroyed by the CyberNomads. According to Sarah Jane, they have spent the past few weeks trying to get back to Nerva Beacon since The Ark in Space. Just as the TARDIS arrives, the Doctor receives a summons from the Brigadier, leading into Terror of the Zygons.

Returning to UNIT[[edit source]]

The TARDIS is knocked off course due to radiation damage, which the Doctor theorises was caused by the solar flares they encountered in Revenge of the Cybermen. [quote 2] They arrive in 24th century Prague where they investigate a murder.
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are knocked off course en route to Scotland due to interference caused by the Eighth Doctor's TARDIS, setting this between Revenge of the Cybermen and Terror of the Zygons. Harry recounts the events of Revenge of the Cybermen as his previous adventure before becoming stranded in 1936.[quote 3] They are wearing their costumes from Terror of the Zygons. Several possible conclusions are presented for the events of this story: One in which Harry becomes a werewolf and kills Sarah, forcing the Doctor to kill him with a silver bullet and experience the events of Terror of the Zygons alone, another where the Doctor, Sarah and Harry successfully arrive in Scotland, only for an infected Harry to carry out a werewolf killing spree following their encounter with the Zygons, and finally a version of history where the Doctor and Sarah figure out that Harry has been infected by a werewolf several days after leaving Godric behind and begin devising a way to save him. The latter of these is the most likely true version of events and therefore it can be assumed that the Doctor, Sarah and Harry don't make it to Scotland immediately after the events of this story due to the quest to cure Harry.
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry are sidetracked on their way back to Earth, suggesting a setting between Revenge of the Cybermen and Terror of the Zygons.

After fending off Carrionites, the TARDIS lands in Scotland, leading directly into Terror of the Zygons. Harry confirms his first trip in the TARDIS was the arrival on Nerva Beacon in The Ark in Space, though he also claims it was his last trip, despite evidence to the contrary.
The TARDIS crew have followed the Brigadier's distress signal to the Devil's Punchbowl in Scotland, where they prevent Zygons from conquering the world.

Quotes[[edit source]]

  1. ↑ HARRY: "Oh, I say. We've gone!"
    SARAH: "Who's gone?"
    HARRY: "I mean, this isn't... we aren't where we were... when... I've gone mad."
  2. ↑ The Doctor scrambled around the console, looking at the read-outs. ‘Radiation damage, I think — probably the solar flares. She needs to reboot and reconfigure some of the systems. Don’t you, old girl?’
  3. ↑ Harry almost laughed then. His, the most straightforward account! He wondered how the Doctor would react if he began, „Well, myself and my two friends - one of whom is also called the Doctor, and is an alien - landed here in our time and space machine, having defeated the plans of a race of evil metal cyber-robots in the far future. We were supposed to be on our way back to the late twentieth century where we were due to help my current employer, a high-up in a secret army organisation which fights alien threats, but unfortunately the time and space machine, which is a bit temperamental, dropped me off here by mistake. By the way, the whole world‟s going to be at war in less than three years.‟
  4. ↑ DOCTOR: "Perhaps it is time we were leaving. We don't want to be blamed for starting a fire, do we?"
    SARAH: "No."
    DOCTOR: "I had enough of that in 1666."
  5. ↑ SARAH: "I can't say I'll be sorry to see good ol' England again, Doctor—Even in chilly November!"
  6. ↑ "Was this, perhaps, an after-effect of my experiences within the Matrix on my recent visit to Gallifrey?"
  7. ↑ While an intelligent young primitive was potentially a delightful companion with whom to share the wonders the TARDIS could offer, an opinionated savage who could not recognise her own shortcomings was less appealing.
  8. ↑ "I watched you," Leela said, "and I copied what I saw you do." She found a piece of rotten wood and weighed it in her hand. It was too light and she discarded it. "The TARDIS is a machine – there is nothing magic about it. And you can stop calling it the travelling hut. It is not funny to mock people's lack of knowledge, Doctor. Especially when you are stuck up a tree."
  9. ↑ The Doctor's scarf was all sorts of different colours and Leela was wearing jeans Mum said later that "she must have been greased into" and a big grey jumper that smelt funny. She was always VERY serious but not in the way like teachers are. She had very bright blue eyes and nice dark hair.
  10. ↑ DOCTOR: "Good morrow, Romana. That looks interesting."
    ROMANA: "Good morning, Doctor."
  11. ↑ ADRIC: "So this in N-Space."
    DOCTOR: "Yes, the old home universe. It's many times larger than anything you're used to."
    ADRIC: "All those stars..."
  12. ↑ ADRIC: "So we don't get to go to Gallifrey."
    DOCTOR: "Yes. Let me put another question to you. I have a place in mind that's on the way, well, more or less, give or take a parsec or two. It's my home from home. It's called Earth."
