Theory:Timeline - Intrusion Counter-Measures Group

This page lists appearances of the Intrusion Counter-Measures Group in the order in which they experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. It is assumed, much like their TV story counterparts that for each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in.

This page was mainly created to highlight the fact that the Counter-Measures part of The Worlds of Doctor Who (The Reesinger Process) is misplaced as occurring after the third series of the Big Finish audios, whereas statements in The Forgotten Village directly contradict this.

Limiting factors
All stories must be set during or after Remembrance of the Daleks, since this is the first appearance of what becomes the Counter-Measures group.
