Following this, the "contemporary" early 21st century stories relative to Rose Tyler's home era have generally taken place a year after transmission, though few stories explicitly confirm or contradict this. Nonetheless, in the [[2006 (releases)|2006]] episode ''[[Love & Monsters (TV story)|Love & Monsters]]'', [[Elton Pope]] directly describes the events of the [[2005 (releases)|2005]] episode ''Rose'' as "two years ago" and the 2005 Christmas special ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'' as "[[Christmas]] just gone". In ''[[School Reunion (TV story)|School Reunion]]'', also from 2006, [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]] describes the [[Sycorax]]' [[Sycorax spaceship|ship]] over [[London]] from ''Invasion'' similarly as "Christmas just gone". | Following this, the "contemporary" early 21st century stories relative to Rose Tyler's home era have generally taken place a year after transmission, though few stories explicitly confirm or contradict this.

[Doctor Who] ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'', featuring [[Donna Noble]], notes [[Battle of Canary Wharf|the Cyberman invasion in Canary Wharf]] from Rose's last regular appearance in ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]'' and ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' as having taken place, and describes ''The Christmas Invasion'''s robot Santas as being from "last year". This would set that story (along with Rose's "present" during [[Series 2 (Doctor Who)|series 2]] in [[2007]], and by extension, the [[Martha Jones]] era in [[2008]]. | [Doctor Who] ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'', featuring [[Donna Noble]], notes [[Battle of Canary Wharf|the Cyberman invasion in Canary Wharf]] from Rose's last regular appearance in ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]'' and ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' as having taken place, and describes ''The Christmas Invasion'''s robot Santas as being from "last year".

[Torchwood] Several ''Torchwood'' episodes are explicitly set in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]], which was Rose's last regular appearance as a companion. This would mean that up to and including ''[[Out of Time (TV story)|Out of Time]]'', which is set around Christmas (and according to ''Captain Jack Harkness'', has [[Diane Holmes|Diane]] go through the Rift on [[24 December]]), [[Series 1 (Torchwood)|series 1]] is set in the year [[2007]]. ''[[Combat (TV story)|Combat]]'' and ''[[Captain Jack Harkness (TV story)|Captain Jack Harkness]]'' are clearly not set immediately after ''Time'' and so the last episodes of series 1 can be safely said to be set in [[2008]]. | [Torchwood] Several ''Torchwood'' episodes are explicitly set in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]], which was Rose's last regular appearance as a companion.
