My query is which is the year of the present day in Doctor Who?

With Rose Tyler coming back a year after she left, that made me presume every present day story was a year in the future. But then, Human Nature/The Family of Blood, The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon, The Wedding of River Song and The Power of Three made it quite confusing.

They stopped placing present day stories one year ahead with Planet of the Dead, which took place in the year in which it aired. Doug86 ☎ 06:22, June 18, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think what year it is is stated either way in most RTD era stories, including Planet of the Dead or The End of Time (Torchwood series 1 and 2 is also pretty contradictory on that front). But either way, the series 5 present doesn't really acknowledge the 2009 Dalek invasion, especially as according to Victory of the Daleks (not sure if it's in the post-reboot universe, but definitely before the cracks are sealed) as the cracks have outright erased these events, and Amy can't remember them. As I recall, Human Nature does have John say he was dreaming he was in 2007 even though series 2 is pretty conclusively set in spring/summer 2007 (what with Love & Monsters describing Rose as two years ago and The Christmas Invasion as the last Christmas). -- Tybort (talk page) 12:36, June 18, 2014 (UTC)
