"Interweaving with the New Adventures"
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
"Interweaving with the New Adventures" was an article in the 1993 Winter special of Doctor Who Magazine. It was important to scholars of the DWM comic stories, as it gave DWM's authorial position on how all of their Virgin Seventh Doctor comic strips were placed into the Virgin New Adventures continuity.
According to the article, DWM had produced the stories to fit with the following chronology:
- Survival
- followed by Timewyrm: Genesys and the three other Timewyrm novels
- Fellow Travellers (DWM 164-166)
- The Mark of Mandragora (DWM 167-172)
- Under Pressure (DWM Yearbook 1992)
- Party Animals (DWM 173)
- The Chameleon Factor (DWM 174)
- Seaside Rendezvous (DWM Summer Special 1991)
- The Good Soldier (DWM 175-178)
- A Glitch in Time (DWM 179)
- Evening's Empire (DWCC Summer Special 1993 [sic])
- The Grief (DWM 185-187)
- Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible
- Cat's Cradle: Warhead
- Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark
- Nightshade
- Love and War
- Transit
- The Highest Science
- The Pit
- Deceit
- Lucifer Rising
- White Darkness
- Shadowmind
- Birthright
- Iceberg
- Blood Heat
- The Dimension Riders
- The Left-Handed Hummingbird
- Conundrum
- No Future
- Tragedy Day
- Legacy
- Theatre of War
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Fellow Travellers to The Chameleon Factor were published before Genesys.
- Virgin New Adventures-related The Last Word would be published eight years after this list was compiled.
- The Incomplete Death's Head (which concluded a month after this article was published) was also not included in the list; the story was set before, during, and just after Party Animals.
- The DWCC Autumn Holiday Special is incorrectly identified as "DWCC Summer Special 1993".
- Taking Interweaving with the New Adventures at face value, it is hard to determine what the TARDIS control room was supposed to look like in stories set after Survival.
- The Grey control room introduced in The Five Doctors was seen in The Mark of Mandragora. Likewise, Under Pressure also shows the standard roundels of this interior.
- The Chameleon Factor introduced a new TARDIS control console with the implication that it appeared after fixing a problem with the chameleon circuit icon system. This Beige control room was later seen in Metamorphosis and The Last Word.
- This control room was also seen in the illustrations for The New Adventures Prologue, an abridged opening of Timewyrm: Genesys. This retroactively established the Beige control room existing before its first appearance in The Chameleon Factor.
- An illustration in Lucifer Rising shows the Grey interior, as indicated by the number of roundels on the wall.
- Despite the Beige console becoming standard for Doctor Who Magazine, the Grey control room — as well as an inexplicably different control room — are both seen in Final Genesis.
- Furthermore, the Seventh Doctor lost his original TARDIS and used his TARDIS from an alternate universe between Blood Heat and Happy Endings.
- At one point, this TARDIS had an early version of the Victorian parlour interior where the time rotor was not connected to the ceiling and had a wall of roundels. (PROSE: Human Nature)
- It later returned to the Grey interior. (PROSE: Head Games)
