May - October
On 26 June, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright arrived back in London aboard the Dalek time machine, which they set to self-destruct soon after. Boarding a bus, they contemplated how they would pick up their previous, "normal" lives again, having arrived two years after joining the First Doctor on his travels.

(PROSE: The Time Travellers [+]Loading...["The Time Travellers (novel)"])
Sometime later, just before their wedding, Ian and Barbara were pulled onto a Sontaran ship by psychic metal. There they encountered the Eleventh Doctor and helped him defeat the Prometheans. The Doctor returned them to Earth and eventually attended their wedding. Before leaving, he shared a drink with Barbara. (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone [+]Loading...["Hunters of the Burning Stone (comic story)"]) However, another account stated that Ian and Barbara married at least a year after returning to Earth.

November - December
On 9 November, the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams visited New York City during a major blackout. (AUDIO: Blackout [+]Loading...["Blackout (audio story)"])
In November, an alien race designated the 456 came to Earth to offer the human race the anti-virus to a new strain of Indonesian influenza which would kill millions. In exchange, they requested twelve children be given over to be harvested for certain chemicals which the 456 used as recreational drugs. The British government and the Torchwood Institute chose 12-year-old Clement McDonald and eleven others from the Holly Tree Lodge orphanage, believing that no one would miss them, and so kept the act a secret. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Four [+]Loading...["Children of Earth: Day Four (TV story)"]) One of the chosen children was actually a de-aged Time Agent named Scott Thrower. (COMIC: Time Fraud [+]Loading...["Time Fraud (comic story)"]) After arriving in a secluded location, Captain Jack Harkness drove them to a white light, and guided them from there. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Four [+]Loading...["Children of Earth: Day Four (TV story)"]) Clem, however, managed to escape. He was chased for several miles until the 456 decided to stop. (TV: Children of Earth: Day One [+]Loading...["Children of Earth: Day One (TV story)"]) This abandonment was theorised by Gwen Cooper in 2009 to be because of him becoming pubescent, and thus, he was useless to the 456. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Four [+]Loading...["Children of Earth: Day Four (TV story)"])
In December, the Tenth Doctor and Heather McCrimmon materialised in Norway. They encountered a herd of Capranoms that were eating the forest.

On 25 December, the Doctor's TARDIS materialised in the yard of a police station in Liverpool, its scanner malfunctioning. After some initial fears the polluted atmosphere of the 20th century might harm his companions Steven Taylor and Sara Kingdom, who had grown up in the clean air of the future, and some trouble with the local police, the First Doctor repaired the scanner and the TARDIS departed.

Alternate timeline
In an alternate timeline in which Nazi Germany won World War II as a result of the Seventh Doctor and Ace accidentally leaving laser technology in Colditz Castle in October 1944, Elizabeth Klein travelled back in time to Colditz during that incident using the Doctor's TARDIS. She was assisted in making the TARDIS operational by a fellow scientist named Johann Schmidt, who was in actuality an alternative version of the Eighth Doctor. Schmidt fabricated a "flight log" for the TARDIS to allow Klein to pilot the ship back to any of its recent destinations and manipulated her into travelling to 1944 on the pretext of retrieving the Seventh Doctor so that he could teach her to pilot the TARDIS.
Her lover Major Jonas Faber saw through Schmidt's trickery but was too late as Klein had already decided to disobey his orders and make the trip into the past. She left her lover behind, promising to make him Führer by her efforts. Unfortunately for Klein, her arrival in October 1944 alerted the Seventh Doctor to the impending alteration of history and he and Ace were able to prevent it. Klein was stranded in the proper timeline. Believing her mistake had destroyed the correct version of history, she vowed to get the TARDIS back and restore her world.
