A split-timeline doesn't really work here. Big Bang 2 isn't just a case of somebody going back in time and changing history. The original universe was completely destroyed. Nothing is happenning, has happenned, or ever will happen in that universe. However, by causing Big Bang 2, the Doctor replaced that universe with a new, identical, universe, that is exactly the same as the old universe. Doctor Who and Torchwood are, and always will be, set in the same universe.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] <sup>[[User talk:Icecreamdif|talk to me]]</sup> 20:40, December 12, 2011 (UTC) | A split-timeline doesn't really work here.

The out-of-universe evidence is that they're intended to be set in the same universe. Moffat and Davies have said that they checked with each other so they could avoid introducing incompatibilities. Of course, it's always open to us to argue about how '''well '''they managed to avoid introducing incompatibilities. (I assume that they included SJA in their consultations, since Elisabeth Sladen's illness wasn't known about until very late in the production process.) --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.75.216|89.242.75.216]] 00:11, December 13, 2011 (UTC) | |||
