Month: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:35, 22 July 2023

A month was a unit of time measurement based on the orbit of a planet's moon. (PROSE: The Dawn of the Kotturuh)

As noted by the Ninth Doctor, twelve months made up the Earth year, (TV: World War Three) which was composed of 365 days, 24 hours long. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) The Fourth Doctor remarked that a month lasted 2,678,400 seconds. (TV: The Brain of Morbius)

Months had individual names. Known months, recognised on Earth and elsewhere, included:

In what the Tenth Doctor termed "a little leeway", the Saxon Master could only have taken the Doctor's TARDIS to as far back as eighteen months prior to its last departure. (TV: The Sound of Drums)

Human pregnancies typically lasted nine months. (TV: The Gathering, Dark Water, The Tsuranga Conundrum) Pregnancy could remain not visible as long as three months in. (TV: Boom Town)

In the Pan Traffic calendar, the month of Hoob was followed by Pandoff, but not Clavadoe. (TV: Bad Wolf)

The Fourth Doctor believed that Christmas lights "always end[ed] up in an impossible tangle that takes a month and most of your sanity to unpick", and he used this as an analogy to explain to Leela how the unrivalled cosmic storm known as the Great Desolatrix ripped through time and space. (PROSE: Red Planet)

Six months prior to March 2005, in mid-2004, Aaron Smith met the Ninth Doctor in a department store. A few months prior to March 2005, there was an industrial accident at the council were Pete Lambert worked. Pete. Both Aaron and Pete wrote about their encounters with the Ninth Doctor on the website Doctor Who?. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)

Mickey Smith mentioned that it had been months between seeing Rose Tyler (PROSE: Mars) in Cardiff (TV: Boom Town) and her short return from the Game Station. (TV: The Parting of the Ways)

Though he does not specify in the script of The Brain of Morbius, the Doctor's sums reflect a 31-day month.
