Events

In 1896, Team TARDIS encountered a Draconian in West Ham. (PROSE: The Simple Things [+]Loading...["The Simple Things (short story)"])

In 1958, the MTB Heroic sank in the River Thames due to a storm. Its crewmember Johnny Skipton was rescued from drowning by the 39th century time traveller Elliot Payne and brought to the 1890s.

In 2011[1], Craig Owens awoke to find the Eleventh Doctor gone following the events of the day previous; the Doctor went to Sanderson & Grainger on his own to battle the Cybermen. Craig joined him and was almost Cyber-converted, but managed to reverse the process half-way through when his son Alfie's cry rebooted his emotions. This also caused an emotional overload for the Cybermen; their ship was destroyed in the explosion. Despite supposedly having little time to live, the Doctor then travelled back a few hours to clean up Craig's house before Sophie returned, and then left for one last trip in his farewell tour before finally confronting his death.
