Theory:Timeline - Fourth Doctor

This page lists appearances of the Fourth Doctor in the order in which he experienced them. This timeline is based on observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events in each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed, much like their TV story counterparts, that each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. There are also many gaps between stories.

The layout of this timeline is based in part on the observations on Doctor Who Reference Guide and Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures, Lance Parkin's AHistory and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as DocOhoReviews, Doc Oho's Book Reviews, The History of the Doctor, The Discontinuity Guide, Clive Banks Databank, Whopix, the Big Finish forums and The Divergent Universe forums. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Companions
Any story with Sarah Jane Smith must take place before TV: The Hand of Fear.

Any story with Leela must take place after TV: The Face of Evil and before TV: The Invasion of Time.

Any story with K9 Mark I must take place after TV: The Invisible Enemy and before TV: The Invasion of Time. Any story with K9 Mark II must take place after TV: The Invasion of Time and before TV: Warriors' Gate.

Any story with Romana I must take place after TV: The Ribos Operation and before TV: Destiny of the Daleks. Any story with Romana II must take place after TV: Destiny of the Daleks and before TV: Warriors' Gate.

Any story with Adric must be set after TV: Full Circle.

Further complications
Like with the First and Second Doctor's timelines, tenuis issues are caused by the how the above dynamics are contradicted in secondary media.

For instance, several stories in prose and comics feature the Doctor, Sarah Jane, and Harry Sullivan traveling together outside of their television adventures. However, excusing the many stories where the characters are trying to reach Scotland, there are no logical places in these stories where a gap could exist. One must presume, although it is speculatory, that Harry briefly rejoined the TARDIS team sometime after leaving.

Similarly, the comics featured in early issues of Doctor Who Magazine feature the Doctor traveling alone with K9, and then later with Sharon Davies. Many presume that these take place before he met Romana, which is contradicted by references made to such things as the Black Guardian. Thus one has to presume that at some point, Romana II took a brief break from the TARDIS and rejoined the team later.

Costume
The Fourth Doctor has an advantage when dating his stories due to his costume. The Doctor started out with a short red blazer, a rainbow scarf, and tweed trousers. He soon switched to longer frock coats, in colors of grey, dark red, and dark brown. Eventually, his costume turned into the "red" version. This makes dating very simple when looking at how the Doctor is dressed (with the exception of certain oddities, like PROSE: The Sinister Sponge).
