IndexTimey-wimey detector → Timeline - Tenth Doctor
Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

This page lists appearances of the Tenth 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, audio or television series, their published, broadcast or numbered order is the order they occur in.[1]

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

Though multiple stories that predate TV: Journey's End, in particular DWBIT comic stories, feature the Doctor travelling alone, TV: Smith and Jones and TV: Partners in Crime have the Doctor state or strongly imply that it hasn't been long since Rose Tyler and Martha Jones have departed (respectively in TV: Doomsday and TV: Last of the Time Lords).

Any story with Rose Tyler travelling must be after TV: The Christmas Invasion and before TV: Army of Ghosts. Any story with Martha Jones travelling must be after TV: Smith and Jones and before TV: Utopia. Any story with Donna Noble must be after TV: Partners in Crime and before TV: The Stolen Earth.

Series basics

There are two notable divisions in the varying Tenth Doctor media, those where he is almost constantly travelling with a companion and those, set after his heart was broken by all his losses in TV: Journey's End, where he spends most of the time travelling alone.

The era while he constantly travels with someone can be further divided into adventures with original to television companions:

There are also the original to comics companions:

His adventures with Matthew and Emily are said to take place towards the end of his time alone. The Doctor's refusal to take on companions such as Christina de Souza along after Donna makes the placement of Heather and Wolfgang's travels with him, which span over 50 stories, uncertain.

Timeline

The Parting of the Ways through The Christmas Invasion flow into one another.
The Doctor and Rose leave the Powell Estate.
The Doctor and Rose fight off the Lupine Wavelength Haemovariform.

Rose's "death" is foreshadowed by the Beast.
Rose is trapped on the parallel Earth.
Directly follows Doomsday's cliffhanger.
The events of Smith and Jones through Gridlock flow into one another. Martha's intended "single trip" in the TARDIS during The Shakespeare Code is postponed to an uncertain length between Gridlock and The Lazarus Experiment.
Martha officially joins the TARDIS full-time.
The events of the book must take place after The Lazarus Experiment as Martha says something about facing mad scientists again. Martha is forced to wait outside the TARDIS in the Doctor's absence, placing this story before 42, when Martha receives a key to the TARDIS.
Immediately follows 42 Prologue.
Sally gives the Doctor the transcript his future self has already read to her.

Set directly after Journey's End.
The Doctor is still willing to take on companions
Carmen prophesies the Doctor's death.
Set some time after TV: Journey's End, as the Doctor recognises Luke and is on his own.
The end of this story leads into The Waters of Mars.
At the end of this adventure, the Doctor decides to go to the Ood Sphere.
Set during the final scenes of The End of Time.

Unplaced

Footnotes

  1. A notable exception is PROSE: The Story of Martha, which features Martha Jones as an occupant of the TARDIS, despite being published on the same day as a Donna Noble novel and a post-Donna novel.
  2. There are clear signs of Rose travelling along before and after Mickey, notably mentioning events of TV: Tooth and Claw in TV: School Reunion and references to Mickey staying on Pete's World in TV: Love & Monsters and Army of Ghosts / Doomsday.
