One classic series adventure that I don't think could happen in the current timeline would be ''The Mysterious Planet''. That story involved people millions of years in the future sneaking onto Gallifrey and stealing secrets from the Matrix, after which the Time Lords dislocated Earth from its orbit and renamed it Ravalox. But as of circa 2007 AD, Gallifrey is inaccessible, so people indigenous to 1,999,500 AD wouldn't have been able to go there, would they? The idea presented in the new series is that Gallifrey and the Time Lords no longer exist anywhere or anywhen in time and space, whether in the past, present or future. Of course, this does beg the question of how the Third Doctor was still exiled to Earth to become UNIT's scientific advisor in the current version of events......[[Special:Contributions/82.2.136.93|82.2.136.93]] 19:07, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Nope, nowhere has it ever indicate that Gallifrey or Timelords are wiped from existence. Gallifrey is timelocked, and that's it, not inexistent, not dead, etc. Any story with any people from any time are not ruled out because of the war as the Timelock occurs relative to Gallifrey's timeline only. Moreover, Gallifrey is in ancient past anyway, so it wouldn't matter what time in the Humanitarian Era the time traveller is from. --[[Special:Contributions/222.166.181.68|222.166.181.68]] 20:36, November 10, 2011 (UTC)
