Timeline for 2010
21st century | 2010s
2004 • 2005 • 2006 • 2007 • 2008 • 2009 • 2011 • 2012 • 2013 • 2014 • 2015 • 2016

2010 was the year of the weddings of four of the Doctor's companions: Bernice Summerfield, Donna Noble, Amy Pond, and Rory Williams, though Amy and Rory were the bride and groom, respectively, of the same wedding. It was also the year in which the Eleventh Doctor returned for Amy Pond and she joined him in his travels in his TARDIS.

Events

March

April

Spring

June

August

September

October

  • 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 on 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. Sarah Jane and Jo overloaded the machine, killing the Shansheeth and Tia. (TV: Death of the Doctor)

November

  • Before 23rd November - Clyde and Rani, having been grounded by the Judoon, were the only two humans left on Earth. They found an alien prince, Gavin, and delivered him to royal robots so he could take his rightful place as king of his home planet. Gavin happily teleported to his home planet after he knighted Clyde and Rani and ordered the return of the warp shunted human race. (TV: The Empty Planet)
  • 23 - The Shopkeeper requested the Bannerman Road gang's help to acquire Chronosteel at key points in time to save the Earth. While two of the pieces were supplied, one was left behind with Emily Morris in 1889. Her descendant, Angela, having been handed the newspaper article of the red herring the Shopkeeper had used to draw the Bannerman Road gang to him, gave the Shopkeeper the piece, saving the timestream. The Shopkeeper departed with his parrot Captain. (TV: Lost in Time)

Winter

  • Sarah Jane encountered an unwilling ally using the alias of Ruby White. Ruby ultimately faked Sarah Jane's retirement, taking over 13 Bannerman Road and Mr Smith, and tryied to kill Sarah Jane by draining her life force. Ruby was defeated by being overwhelmed by humanity's fears of meteors (in simulations created by Mr White, reprogrammed by Luke). She was sent off into space on her prison ship. (TV: Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith)
  • The Eleventh Doctor took Amy Pond to see a Vincent van Gogh exhibit in the Musée d'Orsay. They discovered a monster peeping through a church window in one of van Gogh's paintings. They travelled back to 1890 to discover the meaning of the painting and later took Vincent to 2010 to show modern evaluation of his work. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor) Although the date in the year was not confirmed, the setting indicates that it was winter or nearing it.

Unknown dates

The following events are conjectured as taking place in 2010. None of them, however, include any on-screen indication as to whether they actually occurred this year, but the likeliness was that they do, with Martha and Mickey appearing recently married and having gotten married near September 2009 and Captain Jack appearing to have not been away from Earth long since he left in March this year.

Other timelines

Time Field timeline

Pete's World

Due to time differences between the two worlds, they appeared in 2007 in the other world. See also Pete's World.
