If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
This page lists appearances of the Ninth Doctor in the order in which he 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 or television series, their published, broadcast or numbered order is the order they occur in.
Fan sources like the Doctor Who Reference Guide should not be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.
Limiting factors
Any story featuring Rose Tyler must be after TV: Rose. Any story featuring Captain Jack Harkness must be after TV: The Doctor Dances.
Series basics
The Ninth Doctor's non-TV stories tie directly into the television series continuity, which concludes with the same companion he started with onscreen, Rose Tyler. Hence, he has no adventures with companions original-to-audio or comics, and he has a lone one-off prose companion — Ali — in a setting immediately before his travels with Rose. His era can be roughly be divided into adventures with the original to television companions:
- Rose Tyler
- Rose and Captain Jack Harkness
Timeline
- The Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation.
- The Doctor still doesn't seem familiar with his new form.
- The Beast of Babylon is set sometime after the scene in Rose in which Rose turns the Doctor's offer into the TARDIS down. His one-off companion Ali convinces him to go back for Rose, which he does. The scene of the Doctor re-materializing and stating that the TARDIS can also travel through time follows. Both What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow and The Albino's Dancer features the Doctor on adventures traveling alone, thus meaning that they all take place within Rose.
- Rose is taking her first trip in time and space.
- This is Rose's first trip into her past.
- Rose has the same outfit and hairstyle she had between Rose and Aliens of London. The Doctor has the same jumper he wore in The Unquiet Dead.
- Rose has been travelling for only a few days. Jackie discovers Rose has been travelling with the Doctor. The Doctor, Rose et al meet the Slitheen.
- Rose mentions Gwyneth from The Unquiet Dead and has travelled with the Doctor for more than a few days, placing it after World War Three.
- Slitheen are mentioned, placing this after World War Three.
- Slitheen are mentioned and Jackie knows about Rose travelling, placing this after World War Three and The Monsters Inside.
- Rose recognises an arm on display in the Vault as Slitheen, clearly placing it after World War Three. Adam enters the TARDIS.
- Adam's first trip, where he's immediately brought back home afterwards.
- Rose mentions the "big argument" from Father's Day.
- After The Long Game as the Doctor and Rose have travelled with Adam.
- Jack joins the TARDIS.
- Takes place before Boom Town due to Jack mentioning he has not visited Rose's time.
- Rose phones Jackie and tells her about the events of Boom Town.
- Rose mentions that she has visited Raxacoricofallapatorius, placing it after Boom Town.
- The Doctor regenerates into his next incarnation.
Unplaced
The following must occur before The Empty Child, due to Jack not being featured.
- Only way to place this in a timeline is with Rose's outfit. It's the same one she wore in Aliens of London.
- Impossible to place due to the nature in which the story is written.
- COMIC: Mr Nobody
- COMIC: The Love Invasion
- COMIC: Art Attack
- COMIC: The Cruel Sea
- COMIC: Death to the Doctor! (flashback)
- Rose is featured, so it is set after The End of the World. No mention of Jack, placing it before The Empty Child.
- COMIC: The Forgotten (flashback)
- Jack is mentioned in the Ninth Doctor's flashback, but the Doctor said that he "never heard of him", thus setting it before The Empty Child.
- Never referenced as being the Ninth Doctor. No mention of a companion either.
- Two versions of the Ninth Doctor are shown, one regenerating, as mentioned above, and a Ninth Doctor at an unknown point in his timeline saving Gallifrey.
