There was apparently a good deal of thought that went into where the series would be set. [[Writer]] [[Tony Lee]] told Comic Book Resources that they had difficulties not unlike those they experienced with [[Doctor Who (2009)|the preceding Tenth Doctor series]]. The challenge was finding a narrative "spot" for it with which their readers would be unfamiliar.<ref name=CBROct /> Ultimately, they decided to go between [[series 5 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 5]] and [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|6]]. This also afforded them the opportunity to tell, at least initially, stories that were "current" to audiences, as of January 2011. Thus, the initial setting of the series is definitely after the episode, ''[[The Big Bang]]''. However, there was some ambiguity at time of launch as to where it was set relative to ''[[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]]''. | There was apparently a good deal of thought that went into where the series would be set.
