Theory:Timeline - Doctor Who universe

This page lists the order of stories in the Doctor Who universe timeline from the pre-universe to the after-universe with a focus on events between Event One and the far future. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories.

The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures, as well as Lance Parkin's AHistory and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as Doctor Who Reviews, Clive Banks databanks, and LegoK9's timeline. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Timeline rules:
 * Only list stories. References to dates that the story does not take place in are to be excluded.
 * Stories without any clear indication of an era should be omitted. (e.g. TV: Mummy on the Orient Express)
 * Many stories will contradict each other, so these contradictions should be noted but treated equally. (e.g. TV: The Enemy of the World and other stories set in 2018)
 * Direct quotes indicating the time period the story takes place should be provided. (Quotes sourced from another story should indicate the story it is from.)

Format (list all available):
 * Day Month Year - MEDIUM: Story title
 * CHARACTER/TEXT/NOTE: Indication of time period

 * 'But it's only about four months since we were all together on Hyspero...'
 * 'Relatively speaking, it's actually about eight thousand years, but it all gets too dizzying if you think about it too much.'
