With all this in mind, I don't think that there is any room for doubt that the Doctor is, in fact, wearing his technicolor coat in this story. I don't know why ''Real Time'' was put where it was in the timeline, but I assume it was because the webcast aired August through September 2002 while ''The Sandman'' came out in October of the same year. Typically going by release dates for main ranges with audio-only companions is a safe bet for what order they go in, but one thing to keep in mind about ''Real Time'' is that it's ''not'' a main range audio story but a webcast that was later a special release Big Finish audio drama outside of the main range. With this in mind, I'm going to go ahead and move ''Real Time'' to "Awaiting Placement" until the issue of its placement is resolved and the first main range story in which the Doctor wears his blue coat is identified, as it would be before this story that ''Real Time'' would be placed. Also, while I'm at it, I'm going to place a flashback from ''The Sandman'' under there as well because I notice that the flashback that is shown within this story is nowhere to be found within this timeline. –[[User:Nahald|Nahald]] [[User talk:Nahald|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:42, 13 January 2021 (UTC) | With all this in mind, I don't think that there is any room for doubt that the Doctor is, in fact, wearing his technicolor coat in this story.

The Doctor switches between the two coats throughout the Evelyn run. The later on stuff particularly has him jumping between the two coats and he continues to do so up until part-way through the Flip era. At least Pier Pressure has him explicitly in the technicolour coat and the Brewster trilogy also has him in the technicolour with no implication that it’s supposed to take place earlier on. In fact I think Feast of Axos is explicitly late in Evelyn's travels. | |||
So I think release order works fine. Otherwise you’re going to end up moving around a lot of stories that are supposed to come later to satisfy the idea that he exclusively wears the blue coat after Real Time.
