This page lists appearances of the Eleventh 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 that for each novel, comic, audio or television series, their published, broadcast or numbered order is the order they occur in.
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, The History of Doctor Who, The Discontinuity Guide, Clive Banks databanks and the Big Finnish forums. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.
Limiting factors
Up until their final goodbye, in spite of him leaving her and her husband Rory Williams for extended periods of time, the Eleventh Doctor has almost exclusively travelled with Amy Pond in all media up to her departure, Amy having entered the TARDIS shortly after the Doctor's regeneration. This leaves little room for the occasional story from this era where he is alone, and at which point he's supposed to be on his own in these stories is unclear due to his semi-frequent departures from and returns to Amy and Rory.
Any story featuring Amy and just Amy must be after TV: The Eleventh Hour and before TV: The Time of Angels, or after TV: Cold Blood and before TV: The Pandorica Opens. Any story featuring Amy and Rory as TARDIS residents must be after TV: The Vampires of Venice and before TV: The Hungry Earth, after TV: The Big Bang and before TV: The God Complex, or after TV: The Power of Three and before TV: The Angels Take Manhattan. Any story with Amy and Rory taking short trips and returning home must be after TV: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe and before TV: The Power of Three. Any story where Amy and Rory are married and Rory remembers being a Roman centurion can only be after TV: The Big Bang. Any story featuring the Doctor by himself must be after TV: Space / Time and before TV: The Impossible Astronaut (909-year-old Doctor), after TV: A Good Man Goes to War and before TV: Let's Kill Hitler, or after TV: The God Complex and before TV: The Bells of Saint John.
In stories set after the deaths of Amy and Rory, costume is the main key to setting. In The Snowmen, the Doctor has changed wardrobe, switching to an 18th-century costume with a bow-tie. Any story where he is in this costume must be set after The Snowmen. At some point, he stopped wearing the 18th-century outfit and returned to his tweed jacket, as per WC: The Bells of Saint John. After that, he became a monk and wore the outfit as such; until finding Clara in TV: The Bells of Saint John and switching to an outfit similar to the one he wore in 1892 but with a purple over-coat. Any story, thus, with him in that costume must be set after TV: The Bells of Saint John.
Series basics
The Eleventh Doctor has travelled with original to television companions Amy Pond, Rory Williams and Clara Oswald, as well as original to comics companions Alice Obiefune, John Jones, ARC, Kevin and Decky Flamboon. His travels can be roughly divided by who he's currently travelling with, as well as minor continuity notes and the Doctor's clothing.
Although technically Amy and Rory departed after being left alone at the end of TV: The God Complex, at some point after TV: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe, the Doctor intermittently travels with Amy and Rory in single trips months or years apart of one another from Amy and Rory's perspective before they properly rejoin him at the end of TV: The Power of Three. Technically though, Amy and Rory were still regular characters during these episodes.
