This page lists appearances of the Sixth Doctor in the order in which he experienced them. This timeline is based on observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events in each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is generally assumed, much like their TV story counterparts, that each novel, comic or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in, although the audio stories that use the Peter Howell theme are often set before audio stories the Dominic Glynn theme. There are also many gaps between stories
The layout of this timeline is based in part on the observations on Doctor Who Reference Guide and Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures, Lance Parkin's AHistory and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as DocOhoReviews, Doc Oho's Book Reviews, The History of Doctor Who, The Discontinuity Guide, Clive Banks Databanks, Whopix, the Big Finish forums, The Whoniverse and The Divergent Universe forum. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.
Limiting factors
Companions
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just Peri Brown, specifically when Peri is young and more nervous, must take place between The Twin Dilemma and before Peri takes a leave of absence from the TARDIS at some point before The Shape Shifter. Any stories that feature a more mature and confident Peri traveling alone with the Doctor must take place between The World Shapers and Mindwarp. Any stories that feature Peri after she was left on Thoros Beta must follow The Widow's Assassin.
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just Frobisher must take place between The Shape Shifter and Kane's Story or between The Maltese Penguin and The Age of Chaos.
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with Charlotte Pollard must take place between The Condemned and Patient Zero, while any stories featuring Mila must take place between Patient Zero and Blue Forgotten Planet.
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with the Land of Fiction recreation of Jamie McCrimmon must take place between City of Spires and Legend of the Cybermen.
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just Flip Jackson must take place between The Curse of Davros and Scavenger.
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just Constance Clarke must take place between Criss-Cross and Absolute Power, while any story with her and Flip must follow Quicksilver.
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with Mel Bush must take place after Business Unusual and before his regeneration in the beginning of Time and the Rani.
