Dan lived a simple life in [[Liverpool]] before being thrust into the Doctor's world. He remained open and inquisitive, and challenged [[Karvanista]] when he was taken away from home, to [[outer space]]. He was interested, most of all, in other people. On the other hand, he could be a little bit careless. For example, Diane obviously expected him to be late for a date, calling him the "late Dan".

=== Embroiled in the Flux crisis ===
The Doctor piloted the TARDIS to examine [[the Flux]], which Karvanista had claimed to be saving Dan from. The force turned towards the ship and kept closing in, with Dan hoping they were safe as they were sealed in. The Doctor desperately unleashed [[vortex energy]] as the Flux approached, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') which resulted in the trio being flung through time to the [[Crimean War (War of the Sontarans)|Crimean War]] where they found [[Sontaran]]s in the place of Russia. Dan was then flung through time again as a result of the vortex energy, finding himself back in modern Liverpool which had been occupied by Sontarans.

With the aid of his parents, Dan escaped the Sontaran patrols and he decided to infiltrate the Sontaran ships there, armed only with his dad's wok. In a spaceship he made contact with the Doctor in the past, warning her of Sontaran plans he'd overheard en route, and was rescued from Sontaran guards by Karvanista. Working together they arranged the destuction the Sontaran fleet of timeships that were posed to invade all of Earth's history and managed to escape using a waste chute.

When the Doctor returned, Dan accepted her offer to join her as she departed to find Yaz. They were diverted to the planet [[Time (planet)|Time]] where [[Younger Swarm|Swarm]] and [[Azure]] were waiting for them in the [[Temple of Atropos]]. The pair revealed to the Doctor and Dan they'd put Yaz and [[Inston-Vee Vinder]] in the places of two [[Mouri]], and prepared to expose them to the full force of time. ([[TV]]: ''[[War of the Sontarans (TV story)|War of the Sontarans]]'') The Doctor shoved Dan onto a Mouri pedestal, while she leapt onto another and used her [[sonic screwdriver]], trapping Dan, Yaz, Vinder and herself in a [[time storm]]. Protected in his [[time stream]] by the Doctor, Dan relived a day he went on a walk with Diane, and discussed his past relationships. However, Dan noticed some inconsistencies, such as time passing in the blink of an eye. Fidgeting out of his time stream, Dan found himself somewhere else. He ran into [[Joseph Williamson]] while running away, though he wasn't quite sure from what he was running. While Dan was safe, trapped in a memory, the Doctor replaced the missing Mouri and safely returned Dan to the temple. Swarm showed Dan a glimpse of Diane, who he had kidnapped and imprisoned in a [[Passenger form]]. Vinder and later the Doctor promised to help Dan save her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Once, Upon Time (TV story)|Once, Upon Time]]'')

[[File: In Nepal (SOTF).jpg|thumb|right|Dan, Yaz and Professor [[Eustacius Jericho|Jericho]] in the [[1900s]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'')]]
Dan, Yaz and Jericho spent three years in the [[1900s]] following instructions from the Doctor, who had left a holographic message in Yaz's pocket in case they were separated, to find clues to a potential coming battle for Earth. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') During this time, Dan realised that Yaz harboured romantic feelings for the Doctor, although they did not discuss the matter, and Yaz didn't know that Dan knew. ([[TV]]: ''[[Eve of the Daleks (TV story)|Eve of the Daleks]]'') In [[1904]] they learnt the date of the future event was [[5 December]] and consulted a [[Kumar|seer]] for further details, who advised them to "fetch their dog". Taking that as a clue to contact Karvanista they travelled to the [[Great Wall of China]] where they painted a message large enough for the Lupar to see from space in 2021, asking him to come rescue Dan.

Aboard a ship leaving China, they were attacked by a man, who committed suicide rather than be interrogated by them, and encountered Joseph Williamson briefly, who Dan had previously met during the time storm. Realising [[Williamson Tunnels|Williamson's tunnels]] might be a way of moving through time, they travelled to Liverpool and entered them, finding Williamson again who explained his tunnels went throughout history. To their shock, a group of Sontarans suddenly invaded the Tunnels. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survivors of the Flux (TV story)|Survivors of the Flux]]'') After Yaz stopped tne Sontarans by opening a door leading to "death", Dan, Yaz, Jericho and Williamson went through the door to 2021 where they met [[Kate Stewart]], leader of the [[Human resistance against Sontaran occupation]], and were reunited with the Doctor, who was currently split in three forms.

Dan aided the Doctor with Yaz and Jericho in travelling back to 1967 to recruit [[Claire Brown]] to help infiltrate Sontaran experiments on psychics in [[Chile]] and rescuing another version of the Doctor and Karvanista. Dan later reunited with Diane after the Doctor saved her and Vinder from Swarm and Azure's Passenger. After the Doctor's plan to use the Sontarans and Passenger to stop by the Flux succeeded, Dan, Yaz and the Doctor bid farewell to Karvanista and Kate and Claire. Dan met with Diane however, because of her experiences in Passenger, she turned down his offer to try to have a drink together again. Dan then met up with the Doctor and Yaz, who offered him to join them in the TARDIS, which he happily accepted. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Vanquishers (TV story)|The Vanquishers]]'')

A week after Dan began travelling with her and Yaz, the Doctor engaged a self-reset process that rendered [[the Doctor's TARDIS|her TARDIS]] temporarily unusable in order to purge it of the [[The Flux|Flux]]'s residue. As an unintended side-effect, she and her companions, now including Dan, became trapped in a [[time loop]] at [[ELF Storage]] in [[Manchester]], alongside the building's owner [[Sarah (Eve of the Daleks)|Sarah]] and her eventual love interest [[Nick (Eve of the Daleks)|Nick]]. A small [[Dalek]] execution squad infiltrated the building, trying to find and exterminate the Doctor, leading to the group being exterminated over and over again, resetting the time loop each time.

During these loops, Dan had a soulful conversation with Yaz, revealing that he had noticed that she had [[Romance|romantic feelings]] for the Doctor. When she confirmed it and told that she "didn't know what to do", he urged her to speak her mind to the Doctor, also advising the Doctor — who he knew was aware of these feelings — to stop avoiding the conversation and feigning obliviousness. Eventually they devised a way to escape the building before [[midnight]] while destroying the Daleks with explosives in the storage.

Afterwards the Doctor set the trio on a quest for the [[lost treasure of the Flor de la Mar|lost treasure of the ''Flor de la Mar'']] ([[TV]]: ''[[Eve of the Daleks (TV story)|Eve of the Daleks]]'') which took them to [[1807]] [[China]], where a coastal village was being attacked by a crew of [[pirate]] [[Sea Devil]]s. Dan wandered off with [[Ying Ki]] and ended up recruited at sword-point by [[pirate queen]] [[Madam Ching]] to temporarily become part of her crew. Eventually, Dan, Ki and Ching were reunited with the Doctor and Yaz as they foiled the [[Marsissus|Chief Sea Devil]]'s mad scheme to flood the entire [[Earth]], with Dan using a Sea Devil sword to kill half a dozen Sea Devil pirates in one blow. After the adventure wrapped up, Dan worked up the courage to call [[Diane (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Diane]], who confessed that she'd been missing him too.
