* The [[Tenza]] boy [[George (Night Terrors)|George]] had his (supposed) eighth birthday. ([[DW]]: ''[[Night Terrors]]'')
==== January - April ====
On the [[night]] of [[26 January]], the ''[[National Television Awards (in-universe)|National Television Awards]]'' was broadcast in what the [[Eleventh Doctor]] identified as a [[temporal tipping point]]. [[Dermot O'Leary (in-universe)|Dermot O'Leary]] almost missed this event which he was due to present as a result of [[sleep]]ing in, but arrived on time after the Doctor used [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to collect him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dermot and the Doctor (TV story)|Dermot and the Doctor]]'')
 
Following their honeymoon and an adventure in which [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] materialised inside itself, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] dropped off [[Amy Pond]] and [[Rory Williams]] in [[Leadworth]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'')
 
[[Amy Pond]] was abducted from Leadworth by [[Kovarian|Madame Kovarian]] and the [[Headless Monks]] so her child, [[River Song|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 (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'')
 
[[File:DoctorAndGeorge.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and George. ([[TV]]: ''[[Night Terrors (TV story)|Night Terrors]]'')]]
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]]'')
 
Before [[31 March]], a [[Fleshkind (Sky)|Fleshkind]] baby was left on [[Sarah Jane Smith]]'s doorstep by [[The Shopkeeper (Lost in Time)|the Shopkeeper]]. She was dubbed [[Sky Smith|Sky]]. After [[Myers (Sky)|Miss Myers]]' plan to use her as a weapon against the [[Metalkind]] was foiled, Sarah Jane adopted the now teenaged Sky. ([[TV]]: ''[[Sky (TV story)|Sky]]'')
 
[[Clyde Langer]] fell victim to the curse of [[Hetocumtek]]. He later prevented Hetocumtek from escaping his prison. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Clyde Langer (TV story)|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 (TV story)|The Man Who Never Was]]'')
 
At the conclusion of his "[[farewell tour]]", from [[18 April|18]]-[[20 April]], the Eleventh Doctor visited his friend [[Craig Owens]] in [[Colchester]] at his new house and met Craig's infant son [[Alfie Owens|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 [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] in a crashed spaceship beneath a local store. By this time, Amy had become a model for a perfume called [[Petrichor (perfume)|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 (TV story)|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 [[White House|Oval Office]] in [[1969]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'', ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|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 (TV story)|The Gathering]]'')
 
[[File:BBQ Man.jpg|thumb|The extent of the Miracle. ([[TV]]: ''[[The New World (TV story)|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 [[Death sentence|execution]]. [[Rex Matheson]] and [[Esther Drummond]] investigated the word "[[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]]". [[Jack Harkness|Captain Jack Harkness]] had, by this time, returned to [[Earth]]. Rex arrived in [[Wales]] to extradite Gwen and Jack to [[United States of America|America]] to question them about Torchwood. Jack discovered the Miracle had made him again mortal. ([[TV]]: ''[[The New World (TV story)|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 agent]]s of the [[China|Chinese government]], escaped the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] with the aid of Torchwood. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rendition (TV story)|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 (TV story)|Dead of Night]]'', ''[[Escape to LA (TV story)|Escape to LA]]'')
 
Various world governments implemented the [[categories of life]]. Gwen went to [[Cowbridge Overflow Camp]] to try to rescue [[Geraint Cooper|her father]], while Rex and [[Vera Juarez|Dr Juarez]] went to [[San Pedro Overflow Camp]]. Here, Dr. Juarez was burnt inside a [[module]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Categories of Life (TV story)|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 (TV story)|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 (TV story)|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 (TV story)|End of the Road]]'', ''[[The Gathering (TV story)|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 (TV story)|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 (TV story)|The Blood Line]]'')
 
=== May - August ===
After their daughter [[Melody Pond|Melody]] was kidnapped on [[Demons Run]], [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|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 (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'')
 
In [[June]], [[John Dixon]] and [[Miranda Evenden]] were married. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Cuddlesome (audio story)|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 (TV story)|The Blood Line]]'')


=== February ===
[[File:Doctor sees ridiculous Leadworth Crop Circle.jpg|thumb|The Doctor returns to Leadworth. ([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'')]]
* Following their honeymoon and an adventure in which the TARDIS materialised inside itself, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] dropped off [[Amy Pond]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory Williams in]] [[Leadworth]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]'')
After waiting "all summer" for the Eleventh Doctor, [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|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 [[River Song|Mels]] arrived to escape the police and force the Doctor to kill [[Adolf Hitler|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 (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'')


=== Early 2011 ===
River Song, coming from the crash of the ''[[Byzantium (spacecraft)|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 (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'')
* Amy was abducted from Leadworth by [[Kovarian|Madame Kovarian]] and the [[Headless Monks]], so [[River Song|her child]] could be used as a weapon against the Doctor. She was taken to [[Demon's Run]] in the [[52nd century]] and replaced by a [[ganger]] avatar of herself so no one suspected anything. ([[DW]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War]]'')
* The Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory travelled to the apartment complex where the [[Tenza]] boy [[George (Night Terrors)|George]] lived in response to his psychic distress call. The Doctor sorted out the problems that were causing George's fears to physically manifest in the area and left him to grow up with his human parents. ([[DW]]: ''[[Night Terrors]]'')
* Following an adventure on a [[prison ship (The God Complex)|prison ship]] that caged a [[Minotaur (The God Complex)|Minotaur]], the Eleventh Doctor parted from his companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams, dropping them off at a new house with a new car. This took place prior to [[18 April|April 18]], 2011, meaning that two versions of the couple existed at the same time in different parts of Britain. ([[DW]]: ''[[The God Complex]]'', ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]])''


=== April ===
The Eleventh Doctor wrote a [[bedtime story]] for George that he sent to him in [[October]]. ([[PROSE]]: "[[The Time Lord Letters (novel)|Bedtime Story]]")
* [[18 April|18]]-[[21 April|21]]: At the conclusion of his "[[farewell tour]]", the Eleventh Doctor visited his old friend [[Craig Owens]] in [[Colchester]] at his new house, and met his infant son [[Alfie Owens|Alfie]]. Noticing strange power fluctuations in the area, the Doctor stayed toinvestigate. With Craig and Alfie's help, he uncovered and foiled a plot by [[Cybermen (Mondas)|Cybermen]] in a crashed spaceship beneath a local store. By this time, the version of Amy who had been dropped off by the Doctor following [[The God Complex|the prison ship incident had]] become a model for a perfume named [[Petrichor]]. The Doctor went to meet his destiny with a Stetson hat and blue envelopes provided by Craig. Three children (who, as adults, would provide testimony viewed by [[River Song]] at [[52nd century]] [[Luna University]]) witness him leaving. ([[DW]]: ''[[Closing Time]]'')
* [[22 April|22]]: An eleven hundred and three year-old version of the Eleventh Doctor recruited, using numbered envelopes, a nine hundred and nine year-old version of himself (1), [[River Song]] (2), the versions of Amy Pond and [[Rory Williams]] living in Leadworth (3), and [[Canton Delaware]] (4). All except the younger Doctor arrived in [[Utah]] and met up with the Doctor. An earlier River Song appeared in an astronaut suit and seemingly killed the Doctor at 5:02pm MDT, but it was really the [[Teselecta]] in the Doctor's form with him inside. An alternate timeline briefly came into being when River exhausted the weaponry of the suit, but the timeline was restored. After cremating him, River, Amy and Rory went to a diner where they encountered his younger self. They left in [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] to the [[White House|Oval Office]] in [[1969]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]'', ''[[The Wedding of River Song]]'')
** Some time after this, River Song, coming from the Crash of the [[Byzantium (ship)|Byzantium]], appeared in the garden of Amy and Rory's new house and told them the truth about the Doctor's apparent death. This was the version of Amy and Rory that had parted ways with the Doctor after the prison ship, and they were aware of the aborted timeline created at 5:02pm MDT. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song]]'')


=== Spring/Summer ===
In [[November]], [[Chinwagz Magazine]] published an article called "''I Was Abducted By A Time-Travelling Sex Pest''" which recounted [[Jane (Weapons Grade Snake Oil)|Jane]]'s encounter with [[the Hussar]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Weapons Grade Snake Oil (novel)|Weapons Grade Snake Oil]]'')
* After 22 April - After their daughter [[Melody Pond|Melody]] was kidnapped on [[Demon's Run]], [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] were returned to [[Leadworth]] by [[River Song]]. The two of them were left to await the Doctor's return. ([[DW]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler]]'')
* [[Sky Smith|Sky]] was left on [[Sarah Jane Smith]]'s doorstep by [[the Shopkeeper]]. After [[Myers (Sky)|Miss Myers]]' plan to use her as a weapon against the [[Metalkind]] was foiled, Sarah Jane adopted Sky. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Sky (TV story)|Sky]]'')

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)

On 25 December, Amy Pond and Rory Williams set a place for their son-in-law, the Doctor, at Christmas. He did not show up. (TV: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe)

Undated

Malachi Yarrow retired from the British Secret Service and moved to the Peacock House on the Island of Jersey. (PROSE: Subjective Interlock)

The Doctor returns Amy home. (TV: The God Complex)

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)

Henry van Statten's scientists discovered the cure for the common cold from alien bacteria found inside "the Russian crater". The corrupt American businessman decided to keep it in the lab in order to develop more cures. (TV: Dalek)

Births and deaths

Dated

On Friday 16 December, Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart died in his nursing home. (PROSE: Acceptance, and then Understanding)

Chloe Webber's father was killed in a car accident. (TV: Fear Her)

Other

According to research made by Andy Davidson in March of this year, an average of three hundred thousand people died every day on Earth while five hundred thousand people were born. (TV: The New World)

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.
