'''2010''' was a [[year]].
==[[Doctor Who Universe]]==
===March===
*[[Gwen Cooper]] and [[Rhys Williams]] meet with [[Jack Harkness]] outside [[Cardiff]], where Jack (still remoseful over the deaths of [[Steven Carter|his grandson]], [[Ianto Jones|Ianto]], [[Owen Harper|Owen]], [[Toshiko Sato|Tosh]] and [[Suzie Costello|Suzie]]) uses his recovered [[vortex manipulator]] to send a signal to a [[cold fusion freighter]] just outside the [[Sol system]]. He is beamed up into space. ([[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Five]]'')


===April===
== Events ==
*Circa [[Easter]], [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] is in [[London]] investigating an anomaly; he parks his [[Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] in the grounds at [[Buckingham Palace]]. Meanwhile, Lady [[Christina de Souza]] steals the [[Cup of Athelstan]] from the [[International Gallery]]. Fleeing the police, she boards the [[The 200|200]] bus, followed soon after by the Doctor. Soon after, the bus enters a rift and travels to the planet [[San Helios]] via [[wormhole]]. Thanks to the Doctor, most of the passengers manage to return safely to Earth, save the bus driver, who is killed when he attempts to pass through the rift without protection. Although Christina asks to travel with the Doctor, he refuses and she is briefly apprehended by police before the Doctor helps her to escape in the now-flight-capable 200. Just before leaving the earth, the Doctor receives a prophecy regarding his future which shapes his future actions. ([[DW]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'')

* The [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|fifth series]] of ''Doctor Who'' is scheduled for broadcast on the BBC this year, consisting of 13 episodes with [[Steven Moffat]] taking over from [[Russell T Davies]] as executive producer, and [[Matt Smith]] taking over the role of the Doctor from [[David Tennant]]. Filming for the season began in July 2009, and is expected to carry over into 2010 per the precedent of previous seasons. Although precedent holds that the new season will likely air starting in the spring of 2010 (possibly March or April), until the BBC announces an actual date, this cannot be confirmed. There have also been media reports that the 2010 season may be split into two halves due to conflicts with coverage of the FIFA World Cup; as of December 2009, this too can only be seen as conjecture. It is also not yet known whether a Christmas special will be commissioned for 2010.
==== May - August ====
* Related to the above, international broadcasters such as [[BBC America]] in the US and [[Space (TV channel)|Space]] in Canada are also expected to broadcast Series 5 in 2010, however scheduling is not possible until the BBC confirms its broadcast plans. The effect, if any, of a potential split season is as yet undetermined. 
[[File:AmySaysGoodbyeTBB.jpg|thumb|Newlywed Amy Pond enters the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Big Bang (TV story)}})]]
* Series 5 will introduce (among other expected changes), a new [[Doctor Who logo]], which been unveiled in October 2009.
On [[25 June]], the [[Eleventh Doctor]] returned to [[Amy Pond]]'s house two years after the incident with the [[Atraxi]] and [[Prisoner Zero]] from [[2008]] and invited her to travel with him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Eleventh Hour (TV story)}}) They left together, and returned at 11:55 PM, after escaping from the wreckage of the ''[[Byzantium (spacecraft)|Byzantium]]''. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Flesh and Stone (TV story)}})
* Assuming it is renewed, production of Series 6 of ''Doctor Who'' will presumably begin in the second half of 2010, for broadcast in 2011.
* Series 4 of ''Torchwood'' is anticipated to go into production this year, based upon [[John Barrowman]] announcing in November 2009 that he had been signed to appear. Dependent on when production starts, broadcast of the season may occur in 2010 or 2011.
* The first season of the Australian-made spinoff series ''[[K-9 (TV series)|K-9]]'' is expected to debut in the UK sometime in early 2010, following the broadcast of the pilot episode in late 2009. [http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-k9-trailer.html]
* According to ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', a 4th series of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' is also expected; as with ''Torchwood'', above, production and broadcast details are as yet unknown.
* According to ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', a DVD box set entitled ''Revisitations'' is scheduled for UK release in 2010. The box set will include several stories previously released in bare-bones/"vanilla" DVD editions (early in the DVD line), as well as a new edition of the [[Doctor Who (1996)|1996 TV movie]]. A North American release of ''Revisitations'' is assumed, but it's not known if the TV movie will be included (due to complicated R1 rights issues).[http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2009/12/tv-movie-re-released-on-dvd.html]

During the last few years of [[Ianto Jones]]' life, his bank card was due to expire in [[May]] 2010. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Fall to Earth (audio story)}}) By that time, he had died a [[2009|year prior]] during the invasion of [[the 456]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Children of Earth: Day Four (TV story)}})
 
[[Igrix]] intended to end all wars in 2010. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Love Invasion (comic story)}})
 
== Behind the scenes ==
In [[Untitled (The Lenny Henry Show)|a sketch on ''The Lenny Henry Show'']], [[Seventh Doctor (The Lenny Henry Show)|a version of the Seventh Doctor played by Lenny Henry]] and [[Peri Brown]] visited London in 2010 to find that Cybermen led by [[Thatchos]] had taken over Britain's workforce.
 
In the initial pitch for what would become [[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', entitled ''Return of the Daleks'', [[writer]] [[Russell T Davies]] set the story in [[Utah]] in 2010. While the location would remain unchanged in the final version by [[Robert Shearman]], the time would be advanced by two [[year]]s to [[2012]], seven years ahead of its [[2005 (releases)|2005]] premiere.<ref name = "series 1 comp">[[DWMSE 11]]</ref>
 
Though the ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' television stories ''[[Fragments (TV story)|Fragments]]'' and ''[[Exit Wounds (TV story)|Exit Wounds]]'' have an apparent [[2008]] setting going by [[Jack Harkness]]'s dialogue in ''Exit Wounds'', this is complicated by mentions of [[Owen Harper]]'s early employment with [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] from both of these stories. While ''Exit Wounds'' explicitly states that [[Toshiko Sato]]'s examination of the [[space pig]] from the ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]'' television story {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, a story set [[2006|a year after 2005]], happened on Owen's second week, a caption in ''Fragments'' places Owen's recruitment four years before those stories. This appears to put ''Fragments'' and ''Exit Wounds'' in 2010 instead.

Sarah Jane Smith was told by UNIT they had found the Doctor's body. She and her gang, along with Jo Jones and her grandson, were invited to the Doctor's funeral underneath Mount Snowdon. The Eleventh Doctor arrived; his death had been faked by the Claw Shansheeth. Using a machine he built, he swapped places with Clyde Langer from where he had been trapped in the Crimson Heart. With help from Jo and Sarah Jane, he fixed his teleporter and returned them all to Earth properly. The Claw Shansheeth and Tia Karim used memory weave technology to attempt to create a TARDIS key from the Doctor's companions' memories.

Before 23 November, Clyde and Rani, having been grounded by the Judoon, were the only two humans left on Earth.

On 24 December, the Novelisor Huxley forced Iris Wildthyme to park her Celestial Omnibus in the basement of the Selfridges on Oxford Street. Huxley approached Jo Jones while she was doing her Christmas shopping and tried to convince her that all of her memories of working with UNIT and the Third Doctor were lies and that she had actually been an agent of MIAOW and a companion of Iris. Huxley took Jo to the Celestial Omnibus and introduced her to Iris. Iris and Jo decided to pilot the omnibus to UNIT HQ in the 1970s to prove Huxley wrong. Panda stayed behind in 2010 to conduct a secret mission. (AUDIO: Find and Replace [+]Loading...["Find and Replace (audio story)"])

Undated

According to one account, the crew of a sleeper starship which set off from Earth entered deep sleep. Upon awakening on the planet Vulcan, the crew opted to begin their dating system from the time they entered deep sleep and so acknowledged the year as 2010 despite the passing of several centuries.

At the party, 5-year-old Lucy experienced racism for the first time, when she jumped into a swimming pool with other, white children, who were hastily ushered out by their parents. Albert was enraged when he realised what was going on, after one of the parents told him that they did not want their children splashing around with a "dirty little monkey".

Other timelines

Time Field timeline

On 26 June, River Song arrived some time in the early morning before sunrise after the TARDIS landed there. She investigated Amy's house and found two books, one on Pandora's box and one on Roman Britain, beside Amy's bed. She took them for analysis in the TARDIS (TV: The Pandorica Opens [+]Loading...["The Pandorica Opens (TV story)"]) shortly before the Silence exploded the TARDIS on this date, (TV: The Time of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Time of the Doctor (TV story)"]) cracking all of time and space. (TV: The Pandorica Opens [+]Loading...["The Pandorica Opens (TV story)"])

Pete's World

Mickey Smith, Jake Simmonds and Pete travelled from a parallel world back to the Doctor's universe. They and Rose and Jackie Tyler were stuck in Pete's World after the tear through the Void closed. (TV: Doomsday [+]Loading...["Doomsday (TV story)"])[nb 1]

Births and deaths

Doctor RV Singh died. (PROSE: The Mandela Effect, Or Monsters on the Streets of London [+]Loading...["The Mandela Effect, Or Monsters on the Streets of London (short story)"])

Other

During the last few years of Ianto Jones' life, his bank card was due to expire in May 2010. (AUDIO: Fall to Earth [+]Loading...["Fall to Earth (audio story)"]) By that time, he had died a year prior during the invasion of the 456. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Four [+]Loading...["Children of Earth: Day Four (TV story)"])

Igrix intended to end all wars in 2010. (COMIC: The Love Invasion [+]Loading...["The Love Invasion (comic story)"])

Behind the scenes

In a sketch on The Lenny Henry Show, a version of the Seventh Doctor played by Lenny Henry and Peri Brown visited London in 2010 to find that Cybermen led by Thatchos had taken over Britain's workforce.

In the initial pitch for what would become TV: Dalek, entitled Return of the Daleks, writer Russell T Davies set the story in Utah in 2010. While the location would remain unchanged in the final version by Robert Shearman, the time would be advanced by two years to 2012, seven years ahead of its 2005 premiere.[1]

Though the Torchwood television stories Fragments and Exit Wounds have an apparent 2008 setting going by Jack Harkness's dialogue in Exit Wounds, this is complicated by mentions of Owen Harper's early employment with Torchwood from both of these stories. While Exit Wounds explicitly states that Toshiko Sato's examination of the space pig from the Doctor Who television story Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], a story set a year after 2005, happened on Owen's second week, a caption in Fragments places Owen's recruitment four years before those stories. This appears to put Fragments and Exit Wounds in 2010 instead.
