ARCHIVE
This page lists the order of stories set on Earth, it's moon or anything else in it's orbit in the 21st century. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. It is assumed that if "Modern Day" stories do not provide any information on when it is placed (day, month, year) then it probably takes place when the story was released. This page is split into two sections, the prime timeline and other timelines. The "prime" timeline is the timeline which is shown in the current TV series, most stories which portray the early 21st century in a way similar to reality are placed here. The "other" timelines section features stories which are utterly impossible to reconcile with the "prime" timeline and stories which take place in alternate timelines/universes.
- Due to the sheer number of Torchwood stories we will only include select Torchwood stories on this timeline. This is not to say that these events do not take place in the 21st century, it is merely to keep this page clean. Visit Theory:Timeline - Torchwood for a detailed history of Torchwood.
