Theory talk:Timeline - The Doctor

Fugitive Doctor placement
What, exactly, is currently stopping the Fugitive Doctor from being placed as a pre-Hartnell incarnation in this timeline? The Thirteenth Doctor herself seemed to agree that "Ruth" could only be from her past, and the fact she still remembers her after their first meeting also rules out her being in her future, right? So what gives? WaltK ☎  23:47, June 9, 2020 (UTC)


 * Most likely because her TARDIS looked like a police box, and the chameleon circuit didn't get stuck like that until An Unearthly Child. Probably just a continuity error, but still probably best to wait until the Timeless Child arc is over before placing her anywhere. LauraBatham ☎  04:38, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Fugitive Doctor should definitely be pre-Hartnell
In, once upon time, the doctor mentioned the fugitive doctor as being part of her memories that were stolen. Karvanista was also a companion of the fugitive doctor and it is stated that he knew the doctor pre-hartnell.

Swarm and Azure also know the doctor from before her mind was wiped. The fugitive doctor is shown to be the incarnation that they knew. Finally, the fugitive doctor works for the division which the doctor worked for pre-hartnell.

It seems pretty clear that fugitive is meant to be pre-hartnell, so why is she listed as having an unkown placement?
