Theory:Timeline - Thirteenth Doctor

Theory page
IndexTimey-wimey detector → Timeline - Thirteenth Doctor
Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

This page lists appearances of the Thirteenth Doctor in the order in which she 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 - The Complete Adventures, as well as Lance Parkin's AHistory and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as Doctor Who Reviews, and Clive Banks databanks. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Limiting factors

Companions

Any story where the Doctor travels with Graham, Ryan and Yaz must be placed before TV: Revolution of the Daleks, therefore any story in which the Doctor appears to only be travelling with Yaz, with no mention of Ryan or Graham also being present, must be placed after TV: Revolution of the Daleks.

In TV: Spyfall, it is established that Graham had thought the Doctor's comments on previously being a man were jokes she was making. Thus, any Multi-Doctor Event Graham is present for must come after Spyfall.

After being asked to refer to him as such in TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth and TV: The Ghost Monument, Ryan is able to bring himself to call Graham his granddad in TV: It Takes You Away. Thus, any story where Ryan identifies Graham as his grandfather must take place after It Takes You Away, and stories that do not feature Ryan identifying Graham by his name or title can take place at any point. However, entries such as TV: Spyfall and COMIC: The Power of the Mobox show that Ryan does call Graham both by name and by "granddad" interchangeably.

When Team TARDIS take one of their breaks from their travels in TV: Can You Hear Me?, the Doctor is shown preparing to skip ahead to their next meeting rather than simply travelling alone for a while, with the implication she does this the majority of the time, as she acts unaccustomed to not having a companion with her.

The Flux event

While on the trail of Karvanista to learn more about the Division, the Doctor and Yaz arrive in Liverpool after the Lupar kidnaps Dan Lewis. The TARDIS has began developing a series of faults, such as leaking a dark substance and the floors being moved around. After a breif run-in with Claire Brown, who says they will meet again, the Doctor and Yaz rescue Dan from Karvanista, only to learn that he and the rest of the Lupari are in fact making arrangements to protect humanity from the Flux; a cataclysmic structure ripping through and the destroying the universe. Yaz claims she has left the police force,[quote 11] and has learnt how to co-pilot the TARDIS, though she hasn't heard the Cloister Bell before. After a failed attampt to destroy it with vortex energy, the Flux engulfs the TARDIS, leading directly into War of the Sontarans.
The TARDIS is able to narrowly escape the Flux by landing in the Crimean War, but the mix of the vortex energy in the Flux causes Yaz and Dan to be teleported away to the Temple of Atropos and 2021 Liverpool, respectively, leaving the Doctor to team up with Mary Seacole to stop the Sontarans from using the chaos of the Flux to infiltrate Earth's history, with help from Dan and Karvanista in the 21st centuary.

(EPILOGUE)
With Dan and Yaz having changed into new clothes, a Weeping Angel uses Yaz's phone to hijack the TARDIS. (TV: Once, Upon Time)

After Yaz and Dan are taken by other Weeping Angels hunting the "Rogue Angel", it offers to tell the Doctor of the Division to bargain her aid, only to turn on her and hand her over to the Extraction Squad afrer Jericho is left stranded in 1901 with Yaz and Dan, leading directly into Survivors of the Flux.
The Weeping Angels transport the Doctor to the the Division ship outpost outside of the universe, between Universe One and Universe Two, where she finds the mysterious woman from Once, Upon Time, who reveals that she is Tecteun, and the current leader of the Division. She also reveals that she manifactured the Flux to destroy Universe One in a plot to kill the Doctor. As she and the Doctor discuss their history, however, the Ravager forcable enter the outpost and kill Tecteun, leading directly into The Vanquishers.
As the Doctor tries to escape the outpost using a conversion plate, interference from Swarm splits her three ways; one remains trapped at the outpost with the Ravagers, a second reunites with Yaz, Dan and Jericho in the Williamson Tunnels and a third manifests next to Karvanista and Bel while they fight the Sontarans. After retrieving Claire from the 1960s and saving Diane and Vinder from the Passenger, the Doctor unites her allies to hijack the Sontarans' plans to minimise the Flux by feeding the Dalek Empire and Cyber-Fleet to it, causing the Sontarans to fall in with them with Jericho when he can't escape in time, and then dispuses the Flux completly by trapping in the Passenger. With their plans for the Flux rendered useless, Swarm and Azure are devoured by the embodiment of Time, who warns the Doctor of her impending regeneration. With everyone parting ays, the Doctor and Yaz invite Dan onboard the TARDIS, just as the Doctor hides the Chameleon Arch containg her stolen memories in the TARDIS for another day.

Quotes

  1. DOCTOR: "I appreciate how much you've looked after us, but my ship is very valuable. It's also my home, our home, and I'm worried about leaving it here on a junk planet where people come and scavenge. I might never see it again, and I've only just got it back."
