[[File:DoctorAndGeorge.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and George. ([[TV]]: ''[[Night Terrors (TV story)|Night Terrors]]'')]]
*[[Chloe Webber's father]] died. ([[DW]]: ''[[Fear Her]]'')
The Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory travelled to [[rowbarton Estate|the council estate]] where the [[Tenza]] boy [[George Thompson|George]] lived, in response to his psychic distress call. The Doctor sorted out the problems by getting George to confront his [[fear]]s that had manifested due to [[George Thompson's cupboard|his cupboard]] in which the items he was afraid of had been placed having become a [[psychic]] repository. ([[TV]]: ''[[Night Terrors (TV story)|Night Terrors]]'')
*The [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]] landed in Manchester where they encountered the [[Alifabe]]. ([[DWAM]]: ''[[Sky Scraper]]'')
*[[Miracle Day|The Miracle]] occured. [[Oswald Danes]] survived his [[Death sentence|execution]]. [[Rex Matheson]] was impaled and sent to [[City General Hospital]]. He and [[Esther Drummond]] investigated [[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]]. [[Jack Harkness|Captain Jack Harkness]] returned to [[Earth]]. Jack wiped out all records of Torchwood. Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams came out of hiding after [[Geraint Cooper]] suffered a [[heart attack]]. Rex arrived in [[Wales]] to take Gwen and Jack, identified as Torchwood, to [[United States of America|America]]. ([[TW]]: ''[[The New World]]'')
*[[Vera Juarez|Dr. Vera Juarez]] was invited to a conference in Washington, D.C. to look into the effects of the Miracle. Jack Harkness, having been made mortal after Miracle Day was poisoned, but Gwen and Rex almost tear the plane they're on board apart to counteract the poison. Esther and Rex had the CIA turn against them. Oswald went on television, apparently feeling regret about his murder and rape of [[Susie Cabina]]. ([[TW]]: ''[[Rendition (TV story)|Rendition]]'')
*Oswald Danes decided to accept [[Jilly Kitzinger]] as his public relations woman and promoted the idea of free healthcare following Miracle Day. Esther and Rex have been forced to join Torchwood, and with the help of Dr. Juarez, looked into what [[PhiCorp]] were doing after discovering a stockpile of drugs pre-dating Miracle Day. Jack confronted Oswald Danes, but Oswald ambushed him. ([[TW]]: ''[[Dead of Night]]'')
*Torchwood left for [[Los Angeles]] to discover more insight into PhiCorp. Oswald Danes met a new rival in [[Ellis Hartley Monroe]], who was suddenly crushed into a car by "The Families". Gwen Cooper and Jack Harkness infiltrated a PhiCorp headquarters for sensitive information, but were nearly stopped by [[The Gentleman]], before Rex shot him. In Wales, Geraint was taken away from the hospital to an [[overflow camp]]. ([[TW]]: ''[[Escape to LA]]'')
*Various world governments implemented the [[categories of life]]. Gwen tried to rescue her father Geraint in [[Cowbridge Overflow Camp]], but he suffered another heart attack and became category 1. Dr. Juarez, learning of this, joined Torchwood. She and Rex looked into [[San Pedro Overflow Camp]]. After discovering the horrible conditions there, Dr. Juarez was thrown into a [[Module]] by [[Colin Maloney]] to be incinerated alongside the category 1s, so she couldn't speak up. Oswald's standing was raised further at the [[Miracle Rally]] in Los Angeles. ([[TW]]: ''[[The Categories of Life]]'')
*Maloney sent San Pedro Camp into lockdown while attempting to cover up his murder of Dr. Juarez. Jack spoke to senior PhiCorp member [[Stuart Owens]] about the Miracle, but Owens pointed out that he was also trying to find answers, figuring that someone was playing the system and that his agents traced the phrase "[[The Blessing]]". Maloney's associate Ralph, unable to cope from the madness, shot him. Gwen rescued Geraint from being incinerated in Cowbridge, destroying the facility in the process and breaking the coverup of the Modules, but as she arrived back in [[California]], she learnt that Rhys and [[Mary Cooper|her mother]] and [[Anwen Williams|daughter]] had been taken. ([[TW]]: ''[[The Middle Men]]'')


==Behind the scenes==

2011 was a year.

Events

Dated

January - April

On the night of 26 January, the National Television Awards was broadcast in what the Eleventh Doctor identified as a temporal tipping point. Dermot O'Leary almost missed this event which he was due to present as a result of sleeping in, but arrived on time after the Doctor used the TARDIS to collect him. (TV: Dermot and the Doctor)

Following their honeymoon and an adventure in which the TARDIS materialised inside itself, the Eleventh Doctor dropped off Amy Pond and Rory Williams in Leadworth. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut)

Amy Pond was abducted from Leadworth by Madame Kovarian and the Headless Monks so her child, Melody, could be used as a weapon against the Doctor. She was taken to Demons Run in the 52nd century and replaced by a Ganger avatar of herself so no one suspected anything. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)

The Doctor and George. (TV: Night Terrors)

The Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory travelled to the council estate where the Tenza boy George lived, in response to his psychic distress call. The Doctor sorted out the problems by getting George to confront his fears that had manifested due to his cupboard in which the items he was afraid of had been placed having become a psychic repository. (TV: Night Terrors)

Before 31 March, a Fleshkind baby was left on Sarah Jane Smith's doorstep by the Shopkeeper. She was dubbed Sky. After Miss Myers' plan to use her as a weapon against the Metalkind was foiled, Sarah Jane adopted the now teenaged Sky. (TV: Sky)

Clyde Langer fell victim to the curse of Hetocumtek. He later prevented Hetocumtek from escaping his prison. (TV: The Curse of Clyde Langer)

At the launch of the SerfBoard, Joseph Serf suddenly discredited his own product. In reality, Serf had died years ago in a skiing accident and was just a simulation maintained by Skullion slaves as part of John Harrison's scheme. Luke and Sky took control of the fake Serf so he could denounce the SerfBoard. (TV: The Man Who Never Was)

At the conclusion of his "farewell tour", from 18-20 April, the Eleventh Doctor visited his friend Craig Owens in Colchester at his new house and met Craig's infant son Alfie. Noticing strange power fluctuations in the area, the Doctor stayed to investigate. With Craig and Alfie's help, he uncovered and foiled a plot by Cybermen in a crashed spaceship beneath a local store. By this time, Amy had become a model for a perfume called Petrichor. The Doctor went to meet his destiny with a Stetson and blue envelopes, provided by Craig. Three children, who, as adults, would provide testimony later viewed by River Song at Luna University in the 52nd century, witnessed his leaving. (TV: Closing Time)

On 22 April, an 1103-year-old version of the Eleventh Doctor recruited, using numbered, TARDIS blue envelopes, (1) a 909-year-old version of himself, (2) River Song, (3) Amy Pond and Rory Williams and (4) Canton Everett Delaware III. All except the younger Doctor arrived in Utah and met the Doctor. An earlier River Song appeared in an astronaut suit and seemed to kill the Doctor at 5:02pm MDT. In truth, she shot the Teselecta in the Doctor's form, with him safely inside. An alternate timeline briefly came into being when River exhausted the weaponry of the suit instead, but the timeline was restored when she shot the Teselecta. After supposedly cremating him, River, Amy and Rory went to a diner where they encountered the Doctor's younger self. They left in the Doctor's TARDIS for the Oval Office in 1969. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut, The Wedding of River Song)

The Miracle
Main article: Miracle Day

A blood bank in Buenos Aires, Argentina was burned to the ground. A day later, a blood bank in Shanghai, China was burned to the ground. (TV: The Gathering)

The extent of the Miracle. (TV: The New World)

On 18 March, four days after the destruction of the Shanghai blood bank, at 3:36am GMT (10:36pm EST), Miracle Day occurred. Physical death was negated. A sign of Miracle Day's effects appeared when Oswald Danes survived his execution. Rex Matheson and Esther Drummond investigated the word "Torchwood". Captain Jack Harkness had, by this time, returned to Earth. Rex arrived in Wales to extradite Gwen and Jack to America to question them about Torchwood. Jack discovered the Miracle had made him again mortal. (TV: The New World)

A day after extradition began, en route to Washington Dulles International Airport, Jack Harkness survived an assassination attempt by a CIA agent. Rex Matheson and Esther Drummond, now framed as double agents of the Chinese government, escaped the CIA with the aid of Torchwood. (TV: Rendition)

In Washington DC and Los Angeles, the new Torchwood looked into how PhiCorp related to the Miracle. Oswald Danes gained popularity and fame. (TV: Dead of Night, Escape to LA)

Various world governments implemented the categories of life. Gwen went to Cowbridge Overflow Camp to try to rescue her father, while Rex and Dr Juarez went to San Pedro Overflow Camp. Here, Dr. Juarez was burnt inside a module. (TV: The Categories of Life)

Jack learnt that PhiCorp was in the dark about the Miracle, but Stuart Owens told Jack his agents had traced the phrase "the Blessing". The nature of the overflow camps were revealed, but they were not shut down. (TV: The Middle Men)

Gwen, her family held hostage, took Jack to Olivia Colasanto, who revealed Angelo Colasanto had waited a long time for Jack and knew all about the Miracle. Gwen's family were later released. (TV: Immortal Sins)

In the Colasanto residence, Olivia told Jack of the Three Families. Angelo became the first recorded death after Miracle Day thanks to a null field generator. Gwen was deported to the United Kingdom and Esther and Jack escaped there after they rendered the generator useless for the CIA. The Earth's economy began to collapse. (TV: End of the Road, The Gathering)

Eventually, Jilly Kitzinger started working for the Three Families directly. Aided by Oswald Danes, the reunited Torchwood discovered more about the Blessing, tracing it to Buenos Aires and Shanghai. (TV: The Gathering)

Charlotte Wills was nearly exposed as a mole but slipped out of the CIA Watch office after bombing it, making Allen Shapiro and Noah Vickers Category 1. The Torchwood team reversed the effects of the Miracle by feeding the Blessing mortal blood from Jack Harkness and Rex Matheson (who had been transfused with Jack's blood). Esther Drummond was shot and killed, and Geraint Cooper and all other Category 1s finally passed away. Oswald detonated a bomb, killing himself and the Mother. (TV: The Blood Line)

May - August

After their daughter Melody was kidnapped on Demons Run, Amy and Rory were returned to Leadworth by River Song. The two of them were left to await the Doctor's return. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)

In June, John Dixon and Miranda Evenden were married. (AUDIO: Cuddlesome)

September - December

On 9 September, Kitzinger was recruited by the Families to work with them on "Plan B". Wills was exposed at Esther's funeral and shot Rex before being gunned down. Matheson discovered he was now immortal like Harkness. (TV: The Blood Line)

The Doctor returns to Leadworth. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)

After waiting "all summer" for the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory drove through a field and summoned the Eleventh Doctor by creating a crop circle-like message spelling out the word "Doctor". The Doctor stated he still hadn't found their daughter Melody. Shortly afterwards, Amy and Rory's friend Mels arrived to escape the police and force the Doctor to kill Hitler. With little choice, the Doctor complied with her demand to take them all to Berlin in the 1930s. The next day, a newspaper printed a story about the crop circle. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)

River Song, coming from the crash of the Byzantium, appeared in the garden of Amy and Rory's new house and told them the truth about the Doctor's apparent death. Amy was aware of the aborted timeline created at 5:02pm MDT. (TV: The Wedding of River Song)

The Eleventh Doctor wrote a bedtime story for George that he sent to him in October. (PROSE: "Bedtime Story")

In November, Chinwagz Magazine published an article called "I Was Abducted By A Time-Travelling Sex Pest" which recounted Jane's encounter with the Hussar. (PROSE: Weapons Grade Snake Oil)

Following an adventure on a prison ship that caged a Minotaur, the Eleventh Doctor parted from his companions, Amy Pond and Rory Williams, dropping them off at a new house with a new car. (TV: The God Complex)

The Koggnossenti launched an invasion of London. They began emitting a signal which devolved the brains of all intelligent non-Koggnossenti life. For a few hours, London was transformed into a ghost town, with 98.2% of the population reduced to a primitive technology fearing state. The Tenth Doctor reversed the signal unto the Koggnossenti, forcing them to leave Earth. Those affected by the signal did not retain any memories of the invasion. (AUDIO: Technophobia)

The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond landed in Manchester. They encountered the Alifabe. (COMIC: Sky Scraper)

The Axos invade Japan. (COMIC: The Golden Ones)

The Axos invaded Japan, turning its children into members of their kind using a tonic that was sold as a soft drink called Goruda. The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond assisted UNIT in stopping Axos' attempt to create a new feeding cycle. (COMIC: The Golden Ones)

Behind the scenes

While the 2011 audio stories The Devil and Miss Carew and Submission are ostensibly set not long before the third series of Torchwood from 2009, dialogue in The Devil and Miss Carew mentioning that Joanna Carew is 81 years old and born in 1930, and the events of Submission taking place more than 50 years after the successful return of the Trieste from the Mariana Trench in 1960, contradictorily suggest that they are set in their year of broadcast, 2011.
