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
The Ninth Doctor travels with Rose Tyler in every one of his featured appearances apart from DWAN: What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow, leaving little lee-way for stories post-regeneration but before DW: Rose.
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, comics or prose. His era can be roughly be divided into adventures with the original to television companions:
- Rose Tyler
- Rose and Captain Jack Harkness
Timeline
- Seen only as a vision of the future, so not really part of the timeline.
- The Doctor is travelling alone and there is no mention of Rose.
- The Doctor still doesn't seem familiar with his new form.
- Rose through The Unquiet Dead flow into one another.
- 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 recognises an arm on display in the Vault as Slitheen, clearly placing it after World War Three.
- Occurs directly after Dalek.
- 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
Unplaced
The following must occur before The Empty Child, due to Jack not being featured.
- Impossible to place due to the nature in which the story is written.
- DWM: Art Attack
- DWM: The Cruel Sea
- DWM: A Groatsworth of Wit
- DWM: Death to the Doctor! (flashback)
- Rose is featured, so it is set after The End of the World. No mention of Jack, so it could implied this is set before The Empty Child.
- Rose mentions Gwyneth from The Unquiet Dead, so is obviously set after that.
- 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.
- Only way to place this in a timeline is with Rose's outfit. It's the same one she wore in Aliens of London.
- No mention of a companion.
- Never referenced as being the Ninth Doctor. No mention of a companion either.
- IDW: The Forgotten (flashback)
- Jack is mentioned in the Ninth Doctor's flashback, but the story solely features Rose as a companion, thus setting it before The Empty Child.
