Revision as of 12:02, 7 March 2013
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
This page lists appearances of the Daleks in the order in which they experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. This timeline is based in part on the observations of The Discontinuity Guide and the Dalek timeline theory that first appeared in it.
Limiting factors
Dalek timeline theory in The Discontinuity Guide
In one timeline, Davros created the Daleks, who actually, not just apparently, exterminated him. In this timeline, the Daleks develop full time travel and, except for a brief civil war during the events of The Evil of the Daleks conquer as a united force.
In the second timeline, created by the Doctor's intervention in Genesis of the Daleks, Davros appears to die, but, in truth survives in a dormant state. The Daleks revive him in Destiny of the Daleks. Later, his survival provokes the Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War, which weakens the Daleks, who never develop full time travel during it and never become a serious threat to the Time Lords. The Seventh Doctor destroys Skaro and perhaps all of the Daleks at the end of Remembrance of the Daleks.
Therefore, while Davros existed in both timelines, Dalek stories set prior to Genesis of the Daleks, and those set after, take place in different continuities.
In the real world, Davros had never appeared on-screen because up until Genesis of the Daleks, Terry Nation had not invented the character. Various accounts had given different accounts of the creation of the Daleks, which conflicted to a greater or lesser degree from one another. The character of Davros achieved such popularity that various production teams brought him back in later stories.
The BBC supported the Discontinuity Guide's theory by including it on the Classic Series section of its website. (See "External links")
The 2011 reference guide The Dalek Handbook claims that a new timeline is established after the Doctor's intervention in Genesis of the Daleks. However, it is not made clear how much of the timeline is altered. Other material suggests that not all events in Dalek history were changed - TV: Frontier in Space (set before the Doctor's intervention) shows the origin of the Second Dalek War, a conflict which plays a large part in PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks (set after the Doctor's intervention).
Series basics
Broadly speaking, on top of the two timelines, the Last Great Time War splits Dalek history into before Doctor Who's 2005 revival and after, with no Daleks from before the Time War able to interact or cross paths with those after.
How the post-Time War era can be reconciled with the Dalek timeline theory, which pre-dates the Time War's introduction, is unclear, as the Time War features both a living Davros, as well as a cohesive Dalek fleet led by the Dalek Emperor that possessed enough control over time travel to fight the Time Lords.
Timeline
Timeline 1
- TV: The Daleks
- TV: The Evil of the Daleks
- TV: The Power of the Daleks
- TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth
- Set in the 22nd century.
- The Daleks have invaded Earth before. The Daleks travel back in time to 21st century Earth to do so again.
- TV: The Space Museum (cameo)
- TV: The Chase
- TV: Death to the Daleks
- TV: Frontier in Space
- Set in 2540.
- Mission to the Unknown and The Daleks' Master Plan are set around 4000.
- Order based on The Discontinuity Guide's theories published on the Doctor Who classic series website.
Timeline 2
- The Doctor interferes with the Daleks' history. Davros is put into a dormant state.
- Davros is awakened. At the end of the story, Davros is put in suspended animation.
- 90 years after the events of Destiny of the Daleks, Davros is taken out of suspended animation to cure the Movellan virus.
- Order based on The Discontinuity Guide's theories published on the Doctor Who classic series website.
Post-Time War
- At some point, three separate groups of Daleks survive the Time War independently. Two of the three are effective dead-ends of the timeline.
- A Dalek that crashlanded on 20th century Earth.
- The Dalek Emperor, who ended up in the Sol system circa the year 199,900.
- The Cult of Skaro and many prisoners within the Genesis Ark, who escaped into the Void. At the end of Doomsday, the Cult emergency temporal shift, leading into further stories. Tardisode 13 is set during the Battle of Canary Wharf.
- The Cult has recently escaped Canary Wharf. At the end of Evolution of the Daleks, Dalek Caan again temporal shifts into the Time War.
- TV: The Waters of Mars (cameo)
- Caan is an insane oracle after rescuing Davros from the Time War. The Dalek appearing in Adelaide's flashback is from when the 26 planets appeared in the Earth's sky.
- TV: The Beast Below (cameo)
- TV: Victory of the Daleks
- Continues The Beast Below's cliffhanger. Surviving Daleks, seemingly made from Davros' cells from The Stolen Earth / Journey's End, awake the New Dalek Paradigm.
- The Daleks' memories of the Doctor are wiped by Oswin Oswald.
