[Doctor Who] ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'', featuring [[Donna Noble]], notes [[Battle of Canary Wharf|the Cyberman invasion in Canary Wharf]] from Rose's last regular appearance in ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]'' and ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' as having taken place, and describes ''The Christmas Invasion'''s robot Santas as being from "last year".

This would mean that up to and including ''[[Out of Time (TV story)|Out of Time]]'', which is set around Christmas (and according to ''Captain Jack Harkness'', has [[Diane Holmes|Diane]] go through the Rift on [[24 December]]), [[Series 1 (Torchwood)|series 1]] is set in the year [[2007]]. ''[[Combat (TV story)|Combat]]'' and ''[[Captain Jack Harkness (TV story)|Captain Jack Harkness]]'' are clearly not set immediately after ''Time'' and so the last episodes of series 1 can be safely said to be set in [[2008]]. | ||
In [[Series 2 (Torchwood)|series 2]], ''[[Meat (TV story)|Meat]]'' is said to be a year after [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] is recruited to [[Torchwood Three]] (which happened in the series 1 premiere ''[[Everything Changes (TV story)|Everything Changes]]'', while in ''[[Exit Wounds (TV story)|Exit Wounds]]'', [[Jack Harkness|Jack]], after being unearthed by Torchwood staff in [[1901]], asks to be frozen for 107 years. Both of these facts strongly seem to place all of series 2 in 2008. | In [[Series 2 (Torchwood)|series 2]], ''[[Meat (TV story)|Meat]]'' is said to be a year after [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] is recruited to [[Torchwood Three]] (which happened in the series 1 premiere ''[[Everything Changes (TV story)|Everything Changes]]''), while in ''[[Exit Wounds (TV story)|Exit Wounds]]'', [[Jack Harkness|Jack]], after being unearthed by Torchwood staff in [[1901]], asks to be frozen for 107 years.

However, in ''[[Fragments (TV story)|Fragments]]'' (set on the same day as ''[[Exit Wounds (TV story)|Exit Wounds]]''), [[Ianto Jones|Ianto]]'s flashback to his recruitment to Torchwood is displayed in a caption as taking place 21 months, or one year nine months, ago. Based on earlier evidence, including a scene in ''Love & Monsters'' set in part in [[March]] 2007, and ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]'' and ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' (set during the battle where Ianto loses his prior job at [[Torchwood One]]) having [[Ghost Shift|ghosts appearing]] for two months being news to the Tenth Doctor and Rose (which means that the Battle of Canary Wharf happened in ''at least'' May 2007) | However, in ''[[Fragments (TV story)|Fragments]]'' (set on the same day as ''[[Exit Wounds (TV story)|Exit Wounds]]''), [[Ianto Jones|Ianto]]'s flashback to his recruitment to Torchwood is displayed in a caption as taking place 21 months, or one year nine months, ago.
