This page lists appearances of the Twelfth 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.
Timeline
- The Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation.
- The Doctor has a fresh face and is still recovering from his regeneration. At the end of the story, Clara sends the Doctor for coffee in Glasgow.
- The light from the TARDIS console is blue, suggesting the Doctor helped save Gallifrey after he left Clara in Victorian England, and before he changed the console.
- Set directly between Deep Breath and Into the Dalek.
- The Doctor returns to Clara with her coffee three weeks (from Clara's point of view) after he stopped off in Glasgow. Clara meets Danny Pink.
- Clara resumes traveling with the Doctor.
- The Doctor entertains the idea of letting Clara decide their next destination, so before Robot of Sherwood. Clara also worries that the Doctor is mistaking her for Jenny, so this probably takes place not long after Deep Breath.
