This page lists appearances of the Fourteenth Doctor in the order in which they 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.

Born again
- The Fourteenth Doctor regenerates from his previous incarnation on a cliffside, and immediately recognises his similarities to the Tenth Doctor.
- Set between The Power of the Doctor and A Letter from the Doctor, with the Doctor thinking on how he shouldn't be "somebody [he's] been before", implied to be his first reactions on the cliffside to the regeneration.
- Interlinked between The Power of the Doctor and Liberation of the Daleks, with the Doctor returning to the TARDIS to write a letter before he receives a distress signal.
- Set almost immediately after The Power of the Doctor, and occurs in only a single hour. (DWM 584) As he examines his newly regenerated body after returning to his TARDIS from the cliff-side, the Doctor follows a distress signal from Georgette Gold to the Dalek Dome in 2323, where he has to stop Specimen Six Sigma escaping the Earth Invasion Zone, though his victory is dampened by the destruction of the thirteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver. Though he tries to leave, he is called back again, and managed to defeat Specimen Nine Lambda's 2323 Dalek invasion of Earth. As he departs the Dalek Dome for good, the Doctor finds the TARDIS control console clogged with psychoplasm, and hopes the fast return switch doesn't bring the TARDIS to Skaro.
- Set sixty minutes after The Power of the Doctor, and immediately after Liberation of the Daleks. The Doctor crash-lands on Skaro during the genesis of the Daleks, and accidentally inspires the use of the suction arm on the First Dalek.
Enjoying a second chance
- The Doctor arrives in a cave and encounters an Earth pig, which he names "Alfredo", among a menagerie of captive species. As they explore, the Doctor realises he is on a spaceship and comes across the pilot, leading directly into Into Control. He uses a sonic screwdriver, presumably the replacement for the one destroyed in Liberation of the Daleks.
- The Doctor, having already deduced that the caves are actually a Sycorax spaceship finds himself facing the Queen of the Sycorax, who he is able to defeat. After sending on the displaced species on their way, the Doctor and Alfredo leave together in the TARDIS, with the Doctor claiming that they should make the most of "second chances". In the prose adaptation, the Doctor ponders on why his face come back, setting this before The Giggle.
- Arriving on Planet Bedtime Stories, the Doctor recounts the story of how a little boy and a Martian became stuck on the Moon together.
Reunited with Donna
- The Doctor reunites with Donna Noble during an encounter with the Meep and the Wrarth Warriors. He implies that the return of his old face in The Power of the Doctor was only a recent event. He has a new sonic screwdriver and the TARDIS interior changes from its previous design. Donna spills coffee on the new console. The Doctor spends a full night fighting the Meep in November, which would set the Star Beast over at least a twelve hour period.
- (PROLOGUE)
- The Doctor and Donna crash-land in a tree in 1666 where they accidentally change history by causing Isaac Newton to coin the term "mavity". (TV: Wild Blue Yonder)
- Set almost immediately after The Star Beast, with the Doctor and Donna making stops at various locations throughout time and space while the console is on fire. The Doctor claims that they must abandon the TARDIS at their next destination, leading directly into Wild Blue Yonder.
- Forced to abandon the TARDIS as he rebuilds itself, the Doctor and Donna find themselves on a spaceship at the edge of the universe, where they encounter shapeshifters. The Doctor is still adjusting to his new body and Donna recalls the events of The Star Beast as occurring "last night". They return to 2023 where they are met by Wilf who warns them that the world has gone mad. Roughly an hour passes on the ship.
- Before landing back on Earth, The Doctor lands, uses his new sonic screwdriver, and questions why Donna and his face have returned.
- Set fifteen hours after the Doctor's regeneration in The Power of the Doctor, at least according to the novelisation. The Doctor, Donna and Wilf are picked up by UNIT, who take Wilf somewhere safe and deliver the Doctor and Donna to UNIT HQ, City of London. He is reunited with Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Melanie Bush and Shirley Bingham. The Doctor and Donna travel back to 1925 where they discover that the Toymaker is behind the madness in the present. The Doctor is shot by the Toymaker, who triggers a bi-generation in the Fifteenth Doctor splitting away from him. The Doctor decides to retire with the Noble family and Mel and stay on Earth for a while.
-
- The Doctor asks a human for help in identifying the changes that have happened to reality following a rupture in time linked to the Toymaker, implying a setting during the events of The Giggle.
Settling down
- (EPILOGUE)
- While living with the Noble family, the Doctor sneaks away to take Mel on a trip to New York during the Gilded Age and he takes Rose on a trip to Mars. (TV: The Giggle) Rose is now sixteen, suggesting some months have passed since the main events of the story. Shaun recalls noticing the TARDIS disappearing fairly often, suggesting the Doctor is sneaking off for more adventures. (PROSE: The Giggle)
