User:Cousin Ettolrhc/Sandbox/Timeline - Eighth Doctor

Immediately Post-Regeneration


Only sources which are adaptations of, or set within, either Doctor Who: The Movie or sources set as direct sequels, should be included here
 * TV: Doctor Who: The Movie / PROSE: The Novel of the Film / PROSE: The TV Movie
 * PROSE: The Eight Doctors - set immediately after Doctor Who: The Movie
 * AUDIO: Bounty - part of the DVD release Earth and Beyond. Sam Jones's first trip in the TARDIS, setting this immediately after The Eight Doctors

Early travels with Sam and early solo adventures
''Between adventures with Sam, the Doctor begins taking several "side trips" by himself. (PROSE: Seeing I) The following stories are not internally ordered (unless clumped together), but all fit into this section.
 * PROSE: Model Train Set- part of the Short Trips series.
 * The Doctor us still adjusting to his new personality
 * The Eighth Doctor was first mentioned as having a train set in PROSE: ''Vampire Science


 * PROSE: The People's Temple - part of the Short Trips series. The Doctor sees the result of his tampering with the TARDIS model train set, setting this after Model Train Set


 * PROSE: Suns and Mothers - part of the Short Trips series.
 * The Doctor up in a hospital, saying he's already "been there, done that", suggesting a placement shortly after The 1996 Movie
 * This may be inaccurate, as the Doctor could remember this event at any point in his life he doesn't have amnesia, although he is more likely to reference it if it was more recent.


 * PROSE: The Queen of Eros - part of the Short Trips series. No solid reason for placement, but it features Sam and the Doctor with no explanation of placement, so placing it in the gap with few published stories despite being reasonably long in-universe makes some sense. But feel free to contact Cousin Ettolrhc if you disagree.


 * PROSE: Thinking Warrior - part of the Short Trips series
 * PROSE: The Ethereal - part of the Short Trips series
 * Set immediately after Thinking Warrior, and the Doctor is described as looking "young", placing this early in his life, although not necessisarily as early as I have placed it.

Greenpeace gap
''The Doctor leaves Sam at a Greenpeace rally, for what is a few hours for her and a few years for him. (PROSE: Vampire Science)''

Prisoners of Time
''The Eighth Doctor protects Grace Holloway from Adam Mitchell. The fact he singles out Grace suggests he doesn't have many companions yet''


 * COMIC: The Body Politic


 * COMIC: Endgame

Travels with Stacy and Ssard (Radio Times)
Editorial intent, and PROSE: Placebo Effect, place this in the "Greenpeace gap"


 * COMIC: Dreadnought


 * COMIC: Descendance


 * COMIC: Ascendance


 * COMIC: Perceptions


 * COMIC: Coda

Stacy and Sssard would later meet the Eighth Doctor again in PROSE: Placebo Effect

Travels with Izzy Sinclair (DWM)

 * ''See DWM


 * The logic of placing this series here is that this gap is established to be long, and so fitting more ranges in makes sense.

Travels with Destrii (DWM)

 * See DWM


 * Some place this series after Izzy due to them sharing a publisher and style, however as the original plan for COMIC: The Flood would have featured the Eighth Doctor regnerating into the Ninth, some fans have placed it at the endpoint of his life, usually in the "BBC Books continuity" as opposed to the "Big Finish/New Who continuity", where the Eighth Doctor would instead regenerate into the Ninth Doctor in TV: ''The Night of the Doctor.

Travels with Charley Pollard (Main Range)
See User:Cousin_Ettolrhc/Sandbox/Timeline_-_Eighth_Doctor/MR


 * Same reason as the Izzy comics.

Final adventures before reuniting with Sam

 * PROSE: The Dying Days - Final Virgin New Adventures novel to have the rights to use the character of "The Doctor". The Doctor meets Bernice Summerfield for the first time in this incarnation.

BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures
See /EDA

Big Finish Eighth Doctor Adventures
See /8DA (STUB)
 * Note that the Main Range adventures with Charley Pollard are not objectively included here, and covered separately.

The Night of the Doctor outfit
CONTINUITY: Any story where the Eighth Doctor wears his outfit from The Night of the Doctor  should go here

Time Lord Victorious
See /TLV

The Eighth Doctor: Time War
''See /Time War for the continuity which ends in the regeneration into the War Doctor in TV: The Night of the Doctor
 * NOTE FOR DEV, DO REMOVE: Theory:Timeline_-_Eighth_Doctor should be critically examined for inclusion, particular the parts before 8:TW

Ending the Time War
This is for the continuity presumed until TV: The Day of the Doctor, repopulised by Doctor Who and the Time War but which other stories had prevouisly utilised
 * CONTINUITY NOTE: Any story where the Eighth Doctor takes an active role in the Last Great Time War, especially if it is hinted that he will destroy the Time Lords and Daleks by the end, is presumed to take place here.
 * NOTE: All stories here are in some level of contradiction, and no relative placement is presumed


 * PROSE: Osskah - part of the Short Trips series.
 * The Doctor is carrying out distress calls,

, to put an end to a "storm in Heaven", presumably the Last Great Time War due to being released in 2007 after the BBC stopped using the War in Heaven, but the similarity could mean it is a reference.
 * The Eighth Doctor silver sonic screwdriver with a blue emitter, a description that matches the Ninth Doctor's, implying a setting near the end of his life.


 * PROSE: Museum Peace - part of the Short Trips series. He knows he will "change again", but must do something involving [[Fall of Gallifrey|ending a war with the Daleks.


 * COMIC: The Forgotten: Revelation - Wearing old, worn-out Victorian clothing, the Doctor attempts to find a way to end the Time War with the Key of Rassilon. Upon looking back on his eighth incarnation, the Tenth Doctor indicated that he ended the war shortly after inquiring the Key.


 * PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War - the Eighth Doctor ends the Last Great Time War using The Moment. Powered by the Restoration, he is able to subvert the Moment's effect of disabling regeneration, and become the Ninth Doctor.
 * PROSE: ''The Eyeless mentioned the Doctor using a weapon to wipe out the Daleks and Time Lords.
