== Timeline ==
{{forumheader|Timey-wimey detector}}This page lists '''appearances of the [[Eighth 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, much like its TV story counterparts that for each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. This does not apply to short stories which are often ambiguous about their placement. There are also many gaps between stories.
=== Pessimistic about his future ===
* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Maltese Penguin (audio story)|The Maltese Penguin]]''
: The Doctor visits Frobisher three weeks after dropping him off, to ask if he's grown tired of playing detectives and wants to return to the TARDIS. His feelings hurt, Frobisher declines the offer.


* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Time of Your Life (novel)|Time of Your Life]]''
The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on [http://www.drwhoguide.com/who.htm#8TH Doctor Who Reference Guide] and [http://www.eyespider.org.uk/drwho/pm/list.html Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures], as well as [[Lance Parkin]]'s ''[[AHistory]]'' and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as [http://www.whoniverse.net/biography/timeline08 The Whoniverse], [http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/eighth-doctor.html Doctor Who Reviews], [http://docohosreviews.blogspot.com/p/contents-page.html Doc Oho's Book Reviews], [http://www.doctorwhoreviews.altervista.org/Eighth%20Doctor.htm The History of Doctor Who], [http://www.whoniverse.net/discontinuity The Discontinuity Guide], [http://www.clivebanks.co.uk/ Clive Banks databanks], [https://whopix.wordpress.com/chronology/8th-doctor/ Whopix], [http://forums.bigfinish.com/threads/6103-The-Eighth-Doctor%E2%80%99s-Timeline two] [http://forums.bigfinish.com/threads/6095-The-Eighth-Doctor-s-Timeline(inspired-by-Billy2) Big Finish forums] and [http://notthebigfinishforum.freeforums.net/thread/115/8-eighth-doctors-timeline the Divergent Universe forum]. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.
: After returning Melanie to his future self, the Doctor becomes a recluse on [[Torrok]] in order to prevent himself from becoming the Valeyard. However, the Time Lords manipulate him into saving Earth from [[Krllxk]]. After he helps the Doctor defeat a giant robot dinosaur in [[New Tokyo]], [[Grant Markham]] joins the Doctor as his companion.


* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Killing Ground (novel)|Killing Ground]]''
{{Doctor Who timelines}}
: Grant takes his first trip in the TARDIS. By the end of this adventure the Doctor offers Grant full companionship.


:: ''A man resembling Grant is known to have been removed from history by the Doctor prior to ''[[Repercussions... (short story)|Repercussions...]]''.''
== Limiting factors ==
Any story with the Doctor’s silver Sonic Screwdriver must take place either between ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[The Flood (comic story)|The Flood]]'', where it is destroyed, or (if the story takes place during the [[Last Great Time War]]) after ''[[Natural Regression (short story)|Natural Regression]]'' and before ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]''. Between ''The Flood'' and ''Natural Regression'', the Doctor uses a wooden sonic.


* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Maltese Penguin (audio story)|The Maltese Penguin]]''
Any story featuring [[Romana II]] must take place either before her regeneration in ''[[The Shadows of Avalon (novel)|The Shadows of Avalon]]'' or after her regeneration is undone in ''[[Enemy Lines (audio story)|Enemy Lines]]''.
: The Doctor visits Frobisher a second time, but he once again declines to return to the TARDIS as he is busy with an ongoing investigation.


* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wormery (audio story)|The Wormery]]''
== Complications ==
: Set shortly, but not immediately, after the Doctor's trial, with a much wearier Doctor, whose love for life has diminished somewhat. Though an adventure with [[Iris Wildthyme]] gets him out of his funk, he's still nevertheless a very lonely man by the end of it.  
=== Split continuities ===
Following the release of ''Doctor Who'', both ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' and ''[[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]]'' took to continuing the Eighth Doctor's adventures in [[1997 (releases)|1997]]; they were joined by [[Big Finish Productions]] in [[2001 (releases)|2001]]. For the most part, each of these storylines should not be interrupted or intertwined: in other words, there are few gaps in each series' storyline where the Doctor could feasibly take a break from one set of companions and to travel with a different set of companions from another series. Both the ''BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures'' books and ''Doctor Who Magazine'' comics advertised themselves as continuing directly from the TV Movie, but only the novels actually portrayed an newly-regenerated Eighth Doctor, with ''Doctor Who Magazine'' instead depicting an Eighth Doctor that was comfortable with his body and personality. For this reason, the most commonly accepted framework is that, after the telemovie, ''BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures'' happened, followed by ''Doctor Who Magazine'', and then continued with Big Finish Productions, who show the development of the Doctor that leads to ''The Night of the Doctor''.


* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Excelis Rising (audio story)|Excelis Rising]]''
There are very few exceptions to this general rule:
: The Doctor is still portrayed as a recluse.
* In the BBC Books novel ''[[Vampire Science (novel)|Vampire Science]]'', companion [[Sam Jones]] mentions that the Doctor once dropped her off at a [[Greenpeace]] rally and had (what he told her was) a year's worth of adventures before picking her up again. ''[[Radio Times]]''{{'}}s comic mini-series with the Eighth Doctor takes place in at least part of this gap, as the events are referenced in ''[[Placebo Effect (novel)|Placebo Effect]]'' a few books later.
* A gap of unknown size takes place between the Eighth Doctor's travels with [[Charlotte Pollard]] in Big Finish's [[Main Range]] and his adventures with [[Lucie Miller]] in the ''[[Eighth Doctor Adventures (audio series)|Eighth Doctor Adventures]]''.
* A gap of unknown size takes place between the "What Happened on Earth" and "Foreman’s World" narratives of the novel ''[[Interference (novel)|Interference]]''.


* [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Spindle of Necessity (short story)|The Spindle of Necessity]]''
=== Gallifrey ===
: In despair at becoming the Valeyard, the Doctor goes into isolation long enough to grow a goatee beard. After the Fates tell him that becoming the Valeyard is but one possible timeline, the Doctor decides to resume his travels, his desire to roam the universe restored.
During the [[War in Heaven]], multiple [[Nine Gallifreys|duplicate Gallifreys]] were created, each believing themselves to be the original. One of these, [[Romana III's Gallifrey]], was destroyed in ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]''; anything involving Romana III must therefore take place before ''The Ancestor Cell'' or the reversal of Romana II's regeneration in ''Enemy Lines''.


=== The Doctor and the Detective ===
Alternatively, anything involving Gallifrey could take place either on a different duplicate Gallifrey or sometime after a hypothetical recreation of Romana III's Gallifrey following ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]''. However, such a restoration is never mentioned in the comics or audios.
* [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Maltese Penguin (audio story)|The Maltese Penguin]]''
: The Doctor returns to ask Frobisher if he wants to travel with him again. This time, Frobisher accepts the offer.


* [[PROSE]]: ''[[Mission: Impractical (novel)|Mission: Impractical]]''

Revision as of 11:15, 6 October 2019

This page lists appearances of the Eighth 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, much like its TV story counterparts that for each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. This does not apply to short stories which are often ambiguous about their placement. There are also many gaps between stories.

The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on Doctor Who Reference Guide and Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures, as well as Lance Parkin's AHistory and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as The Whoniverse, Doctor Who Reviews, Doc Oho's Book Reviews, The History of Doctor Who, The Discontinuity Guide, Clive Banks databanks, Whopix, two Big Finish forums 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

Any story with the Doctor’s silver Sonic Screwdriver must take place either between Doctor Who and The Flood, where it is destroyed, or (if the story takes place during the Last Great Time War) after Natural Regression and before The Night of the Doctor. Between The Flood and Natural Regression, the Doctor uses a wooden sonic.

Any story featuring Romana II must take place either before her regeneration in The Shadows of Avalon or after her regeneration is undone in Enemy Lines.

Complications

Split continuities

Following the release of Doctor Who, both Doctor Who Magazine and BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures took to continuing the Eighth Doctor's adventures in 1997; they were joined by Big Finish Productions in 2001. For the most part, each of these storylines should not be interrupted or intertwined: in other words, there are few gaps in each series' storyline where the Doctor could feasibly take a break from one set of companions and to travel with a different set of companions from another series. Both the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures books and Doctor Who Magazine comics advertised themselves as continuing directly from the TV Movie, but only the novels actually portrayed an newly-regenerated Eighth Doctor, with Doctor Who Magazine instead depicting an Eighth Doctor that was comfortable with his body and personality. For this reason, the most commonly accepted framework is that, after the telemovie, BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures happened, followed by Doctor Who Magazine, and then continued with Big Finish Productions, who show the development of the Doctor that leads to The Night of the Doctor.

There are very few exceptions to this general rule:

  • In the BBC Books novel Vampire Science, companion Sam Jones mentions that the Doctor once dropped her off at a Greenpeace rally and had (what he told her was) a year's worth of adventures before picking her up again. Radio Times's comic mini-series with the Eighth Doctor takes place in at least part of this gap, as the events are referenced in Placebo Effect a few books later.
  • A gap of unknown size takes place between the Eighth Doctor's travels with Charlotte Pollard in Big Finish's Main Range and his adventures with Lucie Miller in the Eighth Doctor Adventures.
  • A gap of unknown size takes place between the "What Happened on Earth" and "Foreman’s World" narratives of the novel Interference.

Gallifrey

During the War in Heaven, multiple duplicate Gallifreys were created, each believing themselves to be the original. One of these, Romana III's Gallifrey, was destroyed in The Ancestor Cell; anything involving Romana III must therefore take place before The Ancestor Cell or the reversal of Romana II's regeneration in Enemy Lines.

Alternatively, anything involving Gallifrey could take place either on a different duplicate Gallifrey or sometime after a hypothetical recreation of Romana III's Gallifrey following The Gallifrey Chronicles. However, such a restoration is never mentioned in the comics or audios.

Timeline

New adventures

The Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation, but suffers complete amnesia. Seeking aid from Dr. Grace Holloway, the Doctor is able to recover his memory during a final fight with the Bruce Master, who is absorbed into the TARDIS through the Eye of Harmony. After parting ways with Grace, the Doctor settles down to read The Time Machine.
Continues directly on from Doctor Who, with the Doctor completing his reading of The Time Machine. After a second bout with amnesia, the Doctor rescues a 16-year-old girl named Sam Jones from being attacked by drug dealers, and welcomes her company in his travels.
Sam takes her first trip in the TARDIS.
