Events

History of the Doctor Who Universe

August

• 27 - Sometime prior to his third incarnation, the Doctor witnesses the eruption of Krakatoa. He also hears Primords for the first time ("Inferno"). That same day, a sketch of the Ninth Doctor washes up on a beach on Sumatra - implying, perhaps, that the Ninth Doctor also witnessed the eruption. It will eventually find its way into Clive's collection of artifacts related to the Doctor ("Rose"). The Tenth Doctor and Rose visited Indonesia, encountered the alien Chalderans, and escaped in the TARDIS just as the volcano erupted (Doctor Who Adventures comic strip: "Under the Volcano").

December

• 25 - A beggar boy is abducted by a Graske and replaced with a substitute ("Attack of the Graske").

Unknown date

• The events of "Ghost Light" occur in this year.

• Geoffrey Greystone marries Lady Edith Howarth ("64 Carlysle Street").

• Neville Albert Miller is born, 82 years before the events in "Salvation."
