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.

Fan sources like the Doctor Who Reference Guide should not be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Limiting factors

As of September 2012, 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, Amy having entered the TARDIS shortly after the Doctor's regeneration. This leaves little room for the occasional story 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 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 or after TV: The Big Bang and before TV: The God Complex. Any story with Amy and Rory taking short trips and returning home must be after TV: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe. Any story where Amy and Rory are married and Rory remembers being a Roman centurion can only be after TV: The Big Bang.

Series basics

The Eleventh Doctor's only known full-time companions as of September 2012 are Amy Pond and Rory Williams, who are original to television. Amy and Rory have departed from the TARDIS on television as of September 2011, briefly returning in a major role in October 2011's The Wedding of River Song. During the following series, the Doctor intermittently travels with Amy and Rory in single trips months or years apart of one another from Amy and Rory's perspective, though Amy and Rory are still technically regular characters. In spite of this, all Eleventh Doctor prose, comic and audio Doctor Who media as of July 2012 have the Doctor continue travelling with Amy and Rory in adventures presumably placed before TV: The God Complex.
