June

 * The Battle of Canary Wharf. Rose Tyler was presumed dead, but actually was transported to 'Pete's World'. (DW: Army of Ghosts / Doomsday) The partial cyber-conversion of Lisa Hallett happens during this event. (TW: Cyberwoman) Donna Noble, meanwhile, was on a Scuba-diving holiday in Spain and was not aware of these events. (DW: The Runaway Bride)
 * Donna Noble chose to take a job with H.C. Clements, after rejecting a request from her mother that she work for another firm. Unknown to Donna, an alternate timeline version of herself had fallen beneath the wheels of a lorry a few blocks away in order to prevent her from making the other decision and altering the timeline. Rose Tyler travelled back in time from approximately two years in the future - and from the alternate timeline - to ask the alternate-Donna to pass a message on to the Doctor when she "died". (DW: The Runaway Bride, Turn Left)
 * Former Torchwood One operative Ianto Jones relocated to Cardiff and worked to convince Jack Harkness to give him a position with Torchwood Three. (TW: Fragments).

 * Sometime during this period, Suzie Costello was resurrected for a short period by Gwen before eventually being killed again. (TW: They Keep Killing Suzie)

 * 24 - Donna Noble's marriage to Lance Bennett was interrupted by events orchestrated by her fiancé and the Empress of the Racnoss. (DW: The Runaway Bride) Although Sylvia Noble, Donna's mother, was witness to these events, her grandfather, Wilfred Mott, was absent due to an attack of flu. (DW: The Sontaran Stratagem)

Other timelines

 * Donna Noble made a decision that results in her not joining H.C. Clements and so not meeting Lance Bennett and becoming engaged to him. As a consequence, on Christmas Day, the Doctor never met Donna and he died after defeating the Empress of the Racnoss. Rose Tyler, travelling between dimensions, ends up in this alternate timeline and arrived soon after the Doctor's corpse had been retrieved by UNIT. (DW: Turn Left)


 * See Donna's World.

(WEB: Sarah Jane Smith website, SJA: Invasion of the Bane)


 * The Doctor and Martha arrived on Earth a year before they met. They were attacked by Weeping Angels and sent back to 1969. They were saved by Sally Sparrow, and then prevent the danger of Red Hatching. (REF: The Time Traveller's Almanac)


 * The discovery of a bizarre message encoded as an Easter egg on 17 different DVD releases caused a flurry of interest on the Internet due to the cryptic nature of the message. The message, which appeared to have been shot on film many years earlier, depicted a man with glasses conducting what appears to be a one-sided conversation with an unknown person, and he was occasionally interrupted by a young black woman. Among those interested in the message was London video store employee Larry Nightingale. One of the cryptic statements made, "The angels have the phone box", was made into a T-shirt design. Larry Nightingale begins intensively studying the message, much to the annoyance of his sister, Kathy Nightingale. (DW: Blink)


 * The Doctor and Martha Jones, following information provided to them by Sally Sparrow, investigate the Wester Drumlins estate near London, where by choice or accident they were touched by the Weeping Angels and transported to 1969; the TARDIS remains behind and was later taken into custody by London police. (DW: Blink; that this occurs in the same year as the events of Blink was conjecture, given that the Angels appear to only be recently interested in the TARDIS and Billy Shipton gives no indication that it's been in custody for long.)


 * Sally Sparrow receives a bizarre message addressed to her from someone called the Doctor in 1969 while investigating an old house called Wester Drumlins near London. Sparrow learns of the Weeping Angels and during the course of the adventure her friend Kathy Nightingale was transported back to 1920, and a policeman named Billy Shipton was sent back to 1969. Sparrow encounters an elderly Shipton, who died soon after revealing that he was responsible for adding a cryptic message from the Doctor to a number of DVDs, and the Easter egg mystery was solved when Sally realises the one-sided conversation was from the Doctor and directed at her. Ultimately, Sparrow stops the Weeping Angels from capturing the Doctor's TARDIS and with the help of Larry Nightingale sends the vessel back to 1969. After this event, Sally and Larry take over the ownership of the DVD rental store where Larry works, turning it into a bookstore, but Sally remains distant from Larry as she awaits the final resolution of her involvement with the time-travelling Doctor. (DW: Blink)

January

 * BFA: Circular Time was first released.
 * Big Finish Productions launched a new spin-off series of audio adventures; The Companion Chronicles, with the simultaneous release of four different productions: CC: Frostfire, Fear of the Daleks, The Blue Tooth and The Beautiful People. The initial concept of The Companion Chronicles was to feature companions (and original actors) who up till now have not performed their original characters due to their Doctors (specifically the first four) being unavailable to the Big Finish range due to the original actors being dead or unavailable. The Beautiful People was an exception as it features Lalla Ward who had been portraying Romana for Big Finish for several years at this point, though never before in an adventure with the Fourth Doctor.
 * 1 - TW: Captain Jack Harkness and TW: End of Days were first broadcast, concluding the first season of Torchwood. The cliffhanger ending of End of Days was not resolved until the broadcast of DW: Utopia more than six months later.

 * 11 - TWN: Another Life, TWN: Border Princes and TWN: Slow Decay, the first original novels based upon Torchwood, were first published by BBC Books.

Like the NSA's, the Torchwood novels will be issued in sets of three.
 * Cast readthrough for DW: 42 and DW: Utopia (TV story)
 * 15 - After a mid-season hiatus of more than a month, CBC Canadian broadcasts of Series 2 continued after a 5-week hiatus with DW: The Satan Pit.
 * 16 - A DVD box set of the complete Second Series of Doctor Who was released in Region 1. In a reversal of the previous year, due to Series 2 still being in the midst of broadcast in Canada, release of the set was initially restricted to the US only, with Canadian release delayed until February.
 * 19 - The CBC in Canada begins rebroadcasting Series 1 of Doctor Who in a late night weekend timeslot.

Doomsday attracts some 200,000 fewer viewers than part 1, DW: Army of Ghosts, a possible consequence of Series 2 being released to DVD in Canada a few days prior to Doomsday being broadcast.
 * 26 - Christopher Eccleston made his fifth and, to date, final appearance on Heroes in one of the series' most acclaimed episodes, "Company Man". Eccleston's appearances in Heroes were among the highest-profile American TV appearances by a former Doctor Who actor.

Tennant plays Mr. Logan, a substitute teacher who runs afoul of rebellious Lauren Cooper (Tate).

After Lauren chides him with "Did you fancy Billie Piper, sir?", "Mr. Logan" pulls out a sonic screwdriver and turns Lauren into a Rose Tyler action figure.
 * 18 - DW: The Web of Fear episode one was repeated on BBC Four as part of London Underground night.
 * 19 - Catherine Tate officially signs on to return as Donna Noble in the upcoming Series 4 of Doctor Who; besides retooling the season premiere, DW: Partners in Crime, Russell T Davies also begins rethinking his planned "world without a Doctor" storyline, which would become DW: Turn Left.
