:The problem is, with The End of Time being Christmas 2009, The Sarah Jane Adventures series 3 taking place not long before it in October and November time 2009, and Children of Earth in September 2009, what can be done about Planet of the Dead? That's set before them - in April! Unless we ignore the reference to their having been planets in the sky. Timeline wise, if you listen to Beautiful Chaos's date, Planet of the Dead happens before The Stolen Earth/Journey's End. | :The problem is, with The End of Time being Christmas 2009, The Sarah Jane Adventures series 3 taking place not long before it in October and November time 2009, and Children of Earth in September 2009, what can be done about Planet of the Dead?

Russell T. Davies is well aware that series 4 was the in the era of the first part of 2009, and he is damn well aware that this year's stories are in later 2009 (excluding Planet of the Dead, which is seemingly not long after The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, despite being in April. However, Placing The Stolen Earth/Journey's End before May in 2009 clashes with The Waters of Mars, in which Adelaide was said to be 10 year's old. Born 12th May 1999, she was 10 when the Daleks invaded, which would mean it has to be after May 12th 2009. Equally, it is 2059, and she says the Earth was moved across space 50 years ago - 2009. But Planet of the Dead takes place after it, in April, which can't be. Nor can it be in 2010 for many reasons we know why- Naismith is in business, the recsession hasn't ended, among other things! Oh, and it also takes place before The Sarah Jane Advetnures series 3 (which references it in one episode), which takes place before The End of Time, which is Christmas 2009! UGH!

::It's like Sarah Jane saying she's from 1980 in Pyramids of Mars, but the date of Mawdryn Undead making that impossible. I wouldn't be so sure he's well aware of Series 4 being in 2009, though. Did he make Adelaide's birthday May 12 1999 or did the prop people? My gut feeling is that if you asked anyone in The End of Time about the stolen planets, they'd say it was a year ago. -- [[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 14:09, February 1, 2010 (UTC) | ::It's like Sarah Jane saying she's from 1980 in Pyramids of Mars, but the date of Mawdryn Undead making that impossible.

::No, they would say it was half a year ago. Confirmation says The End of Time - Christmas 2009, and The Stolen Earth/Journey's End - June 2009. In between is SJA series 2 (July, August), Children of Earth (September), and SJA series 3 (October November), and then The End of Time (December). With the specials being part of series 4, they would still be part of 2009, too. Each new series is a new year on present day Earth: series 1 (majority 2006), series 2 (2007), series 3 (2008), series 4 (2009), series 5 (2010). The specials are part of series 4, too. | |||
And indeed, the Doctor travels to 2010 throughout series 5. Dialouge, my friend. Dialouge. And because Jack left Earth in March 2010, it really fits with The End of Time when Christmas is over - the Doctor travels to Spring 2010 (MARCH, April, May). It's simply a continuity error - Russell T. Davies or Gareth Roberts didn't realise that The Stolen Earth/Journey's End happened after April. | |||
People try to say past series happened in the same year (i.e. series 3 and 4 Doctor Who) to answer it, but that's even worse: if series 3 and 4 were both in the same year, that places series 4 before Voyage of the Damned. One person placed series 2 and 3 in the same year, placing series 3 before The Runaway Bride and placing series 4 before Voyage of the Damned. Big mistake. I like the think the bus passanger who mentioned "planets in the sky" was having a bad dream (no pun intended). [[User:Delton Menace|Delton Menace]] 14:49, February 1, 2010 (UTC) | |||
