Some of that ambiguity is natural, owing from several different perspectives on the war. It's measured from several different points. The Doctor seems content to simply find the century, which he deduces from the old 2164 calendar he finds in the disused warehouse. A local states that the bombardment started ten years ago, but the current year is not known with precision from the [[serial]] alone. In ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'', the Doctor claims the invasion took place in 2157, which is still plausible. Terry Nation once suggested it took place in 2142,{{fact}} but this seems to be an attempt to link the invasion to [[the Blitz]], the event on which it was supposedly based. The [[2014 (releases)|2014]] audio story ''[[Masters of Earth (audio story)|Masters of Earth]]'' uses 2164, being set in [[2163]] itself. In the [[2000 (releases)|2000]] audio story [[The Mutant Phase (audio story)|''The Mutant Phase'']] the Doctor says, "The Dalek occupation of Earth was foiled in [[2167]]," implying that this story was set in that year. | ||
