| '''24th December 2007''' - The first indication that the timeline is different occurs during the [[Racnoss]] crisis of Christmas 2007. Just as in the main timeline the [[Webstar]] was destroyed. However, [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] did not survive his encounter with the [[Empress of the Racnoss]], because without Donna there to tell him to leave, the Doctor stayed behind too long to make a clear escape. [[UNIT]] recovered the body, declaring him dead, and realising that he died too fast to [[regenerate]].
| | December 2007: The [[Doctor]] tracks down the [[Empress of the Racnoss]] to the [[Torchwood]] base underneath the Thames Barrier and blows it up, which floods the whole thing. Although the Empress of the Racnoss and her offspring drown, the Doctor is unable to escape and dies too quickly to regenerate. The [[TARDIS]] is salvaged from under the Thames and sent to a [[UNIT]] base in Leeds. |
| | |
| Donna witnessed the recovery, and met [[Rose Tyler]] for the first time. At this point, Rose was not aware of Donna's importance. Some time after this [[UNIT]] recovered the [[TARDIS]] from the [[Thames]].
| |
| | |
| :''In the main timeline, Donna met the Doctor due to working at [[H.C. Clements]] which turned out to be a conspiracy of the [[Empress of the Racnoss]]. Donna's help saved The Doctor's life in that timeline. ([[DW]]: [[The Runaway Bride]]).''
| |
| | |
| '''April 2008''' - By this time the Thames was still closed off due to the Racnoss incident. This made business very hard for [[Jival Chowdry]]'s company and she is sacked from her post as his personal assistant.
| |
| | |
| At the same time, the [[Judoon]] [[H2O Scoop|H<sub>2</sub>O Scooped]] the [[Royal Hope Hospital]] to [[the Moon]]. All patients and staff present the hospital died of oxygen starvation, with the exeption of [[Oliver Morgenstern]], who was passed the last oxygen cylinder by [[Martha Jones]]. Martha herself died, as did [[Sarah Jane Smith]], who was investigating strange occurrences in the hospital. Sarah Jane's companions, [[Luke Smith]], [[Maria Jackson]] and [[Clyde Langer]] were also assumed dead. It is assumed that it was they, not the Doctor, who prevented the Plasmavore wiping out life on half of Earth, but died after doing so.
| |
| | |
| During the evening of this day, Donna again met Rose Tyler. During this encounter she started to suspect that Donna might have some importance, and warned her to leave London for the far-off Christmas holidays.
| |
| | |
| :''In the original timeline, [[The Doctor]] (under the alias Mr Smith) investigated the hospital instead of Sarah Jane Smith, and saved all the people by finding the [[Plasmavore]] culprit in time. He took on Martha Jones as a companion. ([[DW]]: [[Smith and Jones]])''
| |
| | |
| :''[[The Master]]'s reappearance ([[DW]]: [[The Sound of Drums]]) never happened, because the Doctor, Martha and Captain [[Jack Harkness]] never went to [[Malcassairo]] in the year [[100,000,000,000,000]] to remind [[Professor Yana]] that he was the Master, as they did in the main timeline. This means that [[Mr Saxon]]'s regime could never have started, so in this reality, the Master was still alive but he was yet to know of his true identity - if he ever did. It seems that Dr [[Richard Lazarus]] may have died from old age, as Mr Saxon was unable to finance his genetic rejuvination experiment as he did in the main timeline. ([[DW]]: [[The Lazarus Experiment]])''

| '''24th and 25th December 2008''' - Donna and her family are out of the city, as they have won a Christmas holiday. A ''[[Titanic (spaceship)|Titanic'' replica]] crashes into Buckingham Palace, destroying the entire city of [[London]], and flooding the lower half of [[England]] with nuclearradiation.
| |
| | |
| In the weeks thereafter, an emergency government was set up and seven million people were evacuated to cities such as [[Leeds]] and [[Glasgow]]. People in these places were evicted for small reasons such as missing a single mortgage repayment, to make up for the lack of housing. The Nobles are moved into a house in Leeds. Refugees lived with several families cramped together in these houses and had no voting rights. Sylvia noted that it was as if they didn't exist.
| |
| | |
| :''The regular timeline had the disaster closely averted by the Doctor ([[DW]]: [[Voyage of the Damned]]). While the city was nearly abandoned in the regular timeline, this seems to not have been the case in the alternate timeline.''
| |
| | |
| [[America]] promised 50 billion pounds in financial help for Britain, however this fell through when the [[Adipose]] chose America for their [[March of the Adipose|birthing program]], and sixty million Americans across the country were fully transformed into Adipose infants.
| |
| | |
| :''In the regular timeline the Adipose chose the United Kingdom for their scheme, but were stopped by the Doctor and Donna before their plan could be put into full swing, as shown in ([[DW]] [[Partners in Crime]]). The change of location was the result of the crisis in Southern England.''
| |
| | |
| As Britain is in such an unstable situation and other countries have closed their borders-- so deportation is out of the question-- they start sending "immigrants" to labor camps. The Nobles lived with one of the families getting sent away. [[Wilfred Mott|Wilf]], who served during [[World War II]], is in horror. Seeing parallels between this and the [[Nazi]] regime which caused the Holocaust, saying that it had the same reasoning as "the last time".
| |
| | |
| '''2009''' - The [[Sontarans]] [[Sontaran invasion of Earth|invaded the Earth]]. Due to the crisis, the United Kingdom is hit less by the [[ATMOS]] gases than other nations such as [[China]], [[South Africa]] and those in [[Europe]], since they had less petrol. [[Torchwood 3]] successfully tries to stop them. However, [[Gwen Williams]] and [[Ianto Jones]] sacrificed their lives in the process. [[Jack Harkness|Captain Jack Harkness]] is shipped of to [[Sontar]] to fight in the [[Rutan-Sontaran War]]. Presumably Torchwood, at least the Cardiff branch, has now disbanded.
| |
| | |
| Rose Tyler met with Donna Noble again, this time apparently aware of her importance, and working with [[UNIT]]. Rose remarked to Donna that they were the last ones left.
| |
| | |
| :''The Sontaran Invasion of [[Earth]] was, in the original timeline, stopped by the Doctor with the help of UNIT, Martha Jones and Donna Noble. The Doctor managed to clear the atmosphere from ATMOS gas in the same way. ([[DW]]: [[The Sontaran Strategem]] / [[The Poison Sky]]) It is unknown what happened to [[Luke Rattigan]] or his students.
| |
| | |
| It is unknown who stopped the Pyroviles in Roman times, the Carrionites in the Elizabeth period, the Daleks in the 1930s or any of the various historical threats the Doctor faced since ''The Runaway Bride''.

Donna's World is a rewritten version of the official timeline created when Donna Noble turned right instead of left while deciding which of two different job interviews to attend. It is not actually a parallel world since the walls between realities were sealed in Doomsday. This was made explicit by the production team.
- This name is conjectural and is not is actually used by any of the characters.
Origin
While on Shan Shen, Donna Noble was unknowingly fitted with a time beetle, part of the Trickster's Brigade. A fortune teller selected a point in her life where making seemingly random choice had enormous ramifications.
In June 2007 Donna had to make a choice between two jobs. The moment she chose between the jobs was at a junction. Her agency had offered her a contract with H.C. Clements, which while temporary, was posh and in the centre of London, which Donna enjoyed. Her mother, Sylvia Noble, had managed to get her another job opportunity to become the personal secretary of Jival Chowdry, owner of a photocopying business. Although this would be a permanent job, Donna found it less interesting.
While driving and in discussing the dilemma, Sylvia pressured her into "turning right" to stop by Jival Chowdry for a chat. While in the regular timeline Donna ignored her mother and turned left, in this timeline she turned right, resulting in her taking the PA job.
Alternate Timeline
December 2007: The Doctor tracks down the Empress of the Racnoss to the Torchwood base underneath the Thames Barrier and blows it up, which floods the whole thing. Although the Empress of the Racnoss and her offspring drown, the Doctor is unable to escape and dies too quickly to regenerate. The TARDIS is salvaged from under the Thames and sent to a UNIT base in Leeds.
Negation
UNIT and Rose Tyler sent Donna back to the time where the worlds split. To make her past self turn left, she headed from her landing location to the road where her past self was in her car. Running out of time, Donna jumped out in front of a lorry. Although she died, a traffic jam quickly blocked the route right from the past Donna, so the past Donna chose to turn left. (DW: Turn Left) Presumably, Donna's World was negated, however the ongoing existence of Pete's World suggests it might continue to exist in a parallel universe. Rose is later seen communicating with an entity called "Control" as she teleports around the main, "Donna Turned Left" Earth, and it's not known on which world "Control" exists. (DW: The Stolen Earth)
