Page 120 of ''[[The Secret Lives of Monsters (short story)|The Secret Lives of Monsters]]'' gives [[Sunday]] [[4 June]] as the date of the events of {{cs|Smith and Jones (TV story)}} and the [[Royal Hope incident]], and thus, through mentions given in ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'', it can be inferred that [[The Year That Never Was]] began on [[Friday]] 9 June. However, ''Secret Lives'' does not specify 2007 or 2008 as a current year. On top of this, the first two Sunday 4 Junes and Friday 9 Junes after 2004 (page 119 places the incident over 30 years after 1974) are in 2006 and 2017.
