: The Doctor reunites with [[Donna Noble]] during an encounter with [[the Meep]] and the [[Wrarth Warrior]]s.

Index → Timey-wimey detector → Timeline - Fourteenth 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 Fourteenth Doctor in the order in which they 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, 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 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, and Clive Banks databanks. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Limiting factors[[edit source]]

Any story in which the Doctor is questioning why his face came back, or where he remarks that he "[does not] know who [he is] anymore" should be placed between TV: Destination: Skaro [+]Loading...["Destination: Skaro (TV story)"] and TV: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"].

Born again[[edit source]]

The Fourteenth Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation on a cliffside, and immediately recognises his similarities to the Tenth Doctor.
Set between The Power of the Doctor and A Letter from the Doctor, with the Doctor thinking on how he shouldn't be "somebody [he's] been before", implied to be his first reactions on the cliffside to the regeneration.
Interlinked between The Power of the Doctor and Liberation of the Daleks, with the Doctor returning to the TARDIS to write a letter before he receives a distress signal.
Set almost immediately after The Power of the Doctor, and occurs in only a single hour. (DWM 584) As he examines his newly regenerated body after returning to his TARDIS from the cliff-side, the Doctor follows a distress signal from Georgette Gold to the Dalek Dome in 2323, where he has to stop Specimen Six Sigma escaping the Earth Invasion Zone, though his victory is dampened by the destruction of the thirteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver. Though he tries to leave, he is called back again, and managed to defeat Specimen Nine Lambda's 2323 Dalek invasion of Earth. As he departs the Dalek Dome for good, the Doctor finds the TARDIS control console clogged with psychoplasm, and hopes the fast return switch doesn't bring the TARDIS to Skaro.
Set sixty minutes after The Power of the Doctor, and immediately after Liberation of the Daleks. The Doctor crash-lands on Skaro during the genesis of the Daleks, and accidentally inspires the use of the suction arm on the First Dalek.

Enjoying a second chance[[edit source]]

The Doctor arrives in a cave and encounters an Earth pig, which he names "Alfredo", among a menagerie of captive species. As they explore, the Doctor realises he is on a spaceship and comes across the pilot, leading directly into Into Control. He uses a sonic screwdriver, presumably the replacement for the one destroyed in Liberation of the Daleks.
The Doctor, having already deduced that the caves are actually a Sycorax spaceship finds himself facing the Queen of the Sycorax, who he is able to defeat. After sending on the displaced species on their way, the Doctor and Alfredo leave together in the TARDIS, with the Doctor claiming that they should make the most of "second chances". In the prose adaptation, the Doctor ponders on why his face come back, setting this before The Giggle.
Arriving on Planet Bedtime Stories, the Doctor tells the story of Oliver Jeffers's The Way Back Home.

Reunited with Donna[[edit source]]

Landing in Camden Market during November 2023, the Doctor bumps into Donna Noble and her daughter, Rose Noble, just in time to see the Meep's neutron drive star cruiser crash at the Millson Wagner Steelworks, which he gets to in the taxi of Donna's husband, Shaun Temple. Upon investigating the cruiser, the Doctor meets UNIT's new scientific advisor, Shirley Anne Bingham, and follows a UNIT squadron to an escape pod near Donna's house at 23 Bachelor Road, where he finds the Meep, and is reunited with Sylvia Noble. After an attack from the Wrarth Warriors and the Soldiers of the Psychedelic Sun forces the Doctor, the Meep and the Noble family to flee, the Meep reveals their true character as a conqueror and takes the family hostage at the steelworks, where they reveal that they will destroy London to active their cruiser's Dagger Drive. Once Shirley rescues them from the Meep's minions, the Doctor heads off to stop the cruiser's ignition with Donna behind him, and he is forced to reactive the DoctorDonna when circumstances separate him from the controls next to Donna, and the pair manage to prevent the destruction of London. When it looks like Donna is able to die from her brain overloading, it transpires that Rose inherited half the DoctorDonna, allowing Donna to survive until letting go of the Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis after the Meep's arrest. With all restored to normality, the Doctor brings Donna inside the TARDIS to visit Wilfred Mott, and finds that the TARDIS control room has redesigned itself, with a coffee machine on the TARDIS control console. Donna then accidently spills coffee on the new console and everything goes haywire. The Doctor's fight with the Meep occurs over a full night in November, which would set The Star Beast over at least a twelve hour period.
Set during The Star Beast, most likely when the Doctor is investigating the cruiser at the Millson Wagner Steelworks.
Following directly on from The Star Beast, the Doctor and Donna crash-land in a tree during 1666, where they accidentally change history by causing Isaac Newton to coin the term "mavity" instead of "gravity". The Gübernator is not on top the TARDIS, setting this before the untitled comic story from DWM 598.
While the TARDIS console is on fire, the Doctor and Donna make stops at various locations throughout time and space with a member of the Brigade of Gübernators on top the TARDIS. Once they lose the Gübernator in 1970s London, the Doctor claims that they must abandon the TARDIS at their next destination, leading directly into Wild Blue Yonder.
Forced to abandon the TARDIS as it rebuilds itself, the Doctor and Donna find themselves on a spaceship at the edge of the universe, where they encounter the not-things and, after invocating the superstition of salt holding back evil, manage to escape to the TARDIS after roughly an hour passes before the spaceship self-destructions. The Doctor is confronted with his guilt on the destruction caused by the Flux and his uncertainty regarding his origins in light of learning of the Timeless Child, but refuses to talk about his feelings.
The Doctor narrates his actions throughout the events of Wild Blue Yonder.
Before landing back on Earth at the end of Wild Blue Yonder, the Doctor questions why Donna and his face have returned, before deducing that "someone" is coming.
After pondering the consequences of invocating a superstition where "the walls are thin and all things are possible", the Doctor and Donna return to 2023 Camden Market, though a few days later than intended, where they are met by Wilf, who warns them that the world has gone mad, leading directly into The Giggle.
Set fifteen hours after the Doctor's regeneration in The Power of the Doctor, at least according to the novelisation. As London erupts into chaos, the Doctor and Donna are picked up by Colonel Christofer Ibrahim of UNIT-UK, who also arranges to take Wilf to safety, and brought to UNIT HQ, City of London, where they are met by Shirley, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Mel Bush, who inform them of the ongoing crisis caused by the Giggle of Stooky Bill being implemented into every screen since the invention of television in 1925. The Doctor and Donna go to 1925 Soho to investigate, where they discover the Toymaker, having slipped into the universe because of the Doctor's salt trick, is behind the Giggle, and the Doctor's attempt to banish him in a game results in him winning, but the Doctor convinces him to take a best of three gambit, with the Toymaker deciding that 2023 will be their battleground. Returning to UNIT HQ as the Toymaker arrives, the Doctor is shot by a Galvanic beam when the Toymaker degrees their third game will be played by a new Doctor, but he undergoes a bi-generation, and he and the Fifteenth Doctor beat the Toymaker in a game of catch, and he banishes the Toymaker as his prize. While giving his fifteenth incarnation a tour of the TARDIS control room, the Doctor is convinced by Donna and his next incarnation to take a rest with Donna's family as a form of "rehab" from his traumas, with the Fifteenth Doctor taking his prize from winning the game in the form of a duplicate TARDIS.
The Doctor asks a human for help in identifying the changes that have happened to reality following a rupture in time linked to the Toymaker, implying a setting during the events of The Giggle, most likely after the Doctor returned to UNIT HQ from 1925.

Rehab[[edit source]]

After thinking about getting a castle, a mansion or a beach hut for a home of his own, the Doctor purchases a house in the countryside from Tiff, using his UNIT payments to purchase the property without the needs for council tax, parking zones, catchment areas, mortgage and forms.

Having accepted that he regained his tenth incarnation's face as a sign to himself to "come home" to Donna, the Doctor enjoys a picnic with Donna, Shaun, Rose, Sylvia, Mel and Wilf, where Rose talks about a trip they took the Mars together and Mel mentions them visiting the Gilded Age of New York City, with Shaun adding that he sees the TARDIS disappearing fairly often. Rose is now 16-years-old, at least according to the novelisation, and it is a sunny day, implying a setting during Spring 2024.

The Doctor is photographed sometime prior to 5 March 2005. The reveal that the Doctor sneaks off for adventures in The Giggle makes it likely the time he was photographed was during these off-screen adventures.
