1925

1925 was the year that Black Orchid was published by George Cranleigh. On 11 June, the Fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka arrived at Cranleigh Hall in Oxfordshire for an afternoon of cricket. The Doctor proved himself to be both an excellent middle stump batsman and a formidable fast bowler. (TV: Black Orchid) The Seventh Doctor's companion Ace arrived shortly afterwards to obtain one of the segments of the Key to Time. Adric briefly flirted with her. However, she was unappreciative of his advances, threatening to give him a permanent limp if he continued. (COMIC: Time & Time Again)

Jack Harkness was active in this year, as shown by photos of him found in the CIA Archive. (TV: The New World)
