- AUDIO: The Man Who Wasn't There - part of the Short Trips audio series

- PROSE: Faithful Friends: Part 3 - part of the Short Trips series; Charley recalls meeting the Brigadier in Minuet in Hell, but any further placement is indefinitive.
These two are placed here soley due to the fact that this is a known gap in their adventures, any further placement is indefinitive.
- AUDIO: Together in Eclectic Dreams - The Doctor is trapped alone in the Kantrofarri dreamworld, presumably setting this directly before If I Should Die Before I Wake.
- AUDIO: If I Should Die Before I Wake - Charley joins the Doctor's dream and saves him from the Kantrofarri.
Anti-time arc (Series 2)[[edit] | [edit source]]
- CONTINUITY: Charley still wants to get to Singapore, but the Doctor decides to let the TARDIS take them to where it wants to go, citing that he has been "too methodical" recently and that they will get to Singapore eventually. This allows for some stories to be set in this gap. Note that stories not grouped together are not internally ordered, simply placed in this gap.
- PROSE: A Good Life - part of the Short Trips series. The author suggests a placement near Living Legend due to similiar release date[1]
- AUDIO: The Light at the End - authorial intent places this "somewhere during the second season of Charlotte Pollard Eighth Doctor adventures", but any further placement is indefinitive/arbitary[2]
- CONTINUITY: Charley learns about regeneration for the first time
- AUDIO: Living Legend - according to one source, authorial intent places this between The Chimes of Midnight and Seasons of Fear[3]
- PROSE: Categorical Imperative - multidoctor, could be anywhere after The Light at the End
- PROSE: Venus - the events of Storm Warning were "a long time ago", and neither Charley nor the Doctor mention the damage to the Web of Time, implying the Doctor hasn't told her yet, setting this before Embrace the Darkness
- AUDIO: The End of the Beginning - multidoctor, could be anywhere after The Light at the End
- CONTINUITY: The Doctor explains to Charley how his saving of her from the R101 has altered the timelines (damaging the Web of Time), and so any story where she is aware of this must come after, and any story where she doesn't appear to know may, if not other evidence is availiable, be presumed to go before.
