Theory:Timeline - Spin-Off Shows Timeline Order Suggestion

Series 6

 * Series 6 revolves around the month of April 2011, both beginning and ending there. Amy and Rory rejoin the Doctor after watching future version of himself die at Lake Silencio. They then spend some time travelling until they return to Leadworth after the events of A Good Man goes to War. They spend the Summer there before returning to the Doctor in Let’s Kill Hitler.
 * The Doctor leaves Amy and Rory at their new house in London at the end of The God Complex, however the year he left them was never specified.
 * The Doctor spots Amy and Rory shopping in Colchester during his encounter with Craig in Closing Time. Amy is now a model and appears to have her own brand of perfume called Petrichor. This is a reference to The Doctor’s Wife. A newspaper dates this story as occurring in April 2011.
 * It would make sense that the older Amy would be the one to remember the events of The Wedding of River Song if she was also present in April 2011.

Series 7 Part 1

 * In The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe, Amy and Rory say it has been 2 years since the Doctor dropped them off. The last time we saw Amy after the God Complex was in April 2011. This would suggest it is now Christmas Day 2012 in modern day. However Amy had a successful modelling career at that point, suggesting they had been left much further back than early 2011 in the God Complex. It is perhaps best to assume that The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe takes place in December 2011, and the Doctor left Amy and Rory at some point in 2010.


 * Pond Life then takes place over several months and follows Amy and Rory from April to August, with Asylum of the Daleks occurring shortly after. For the sake of simplicity, we can assume that this takes place the year following The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe, in 2012.


 * Dinosaurs on a Spaceship takes place 10 months after Asylum of the Daleks and Amy and Rory have not seen the Doctor during this time. This pushes us into the year 2013, and Dinosaurs on a Spaceship should take place circa June 2013.


 * The Power of Three and the Slow Invasion begins in July 2013, and concludes in July of the following year. This also explains how Kate’s Stewart knew the Doctor in Day of the Doctor, as Power of Three began only a few months before.

Series 7 Part 2

 * Clara’s native time is 2013, as evident by the letter from Madame Vastra that she received, dated to arrive in April 2013.

Series 8

 * From Clara’s perspective, Deep Breath occurs on Christmas Day 2013. The Doctor drops her off in Glasgow a couple of days later in late December 2013. 3 weeks later, Danny starts work at Coal Hill, in mid-January 2014. The rest of the season takes place over those next few months of mostly Spring 2014.


 * In Deep Breath, Strax noted that Clara is 27 years old according to his biological scan. Later in Dark Water, her date of birth is given as November 1986, therefore all of Series 7, plus Deep Breath take place in the same year.

Series 9

 * According to Class, Clara is dead by at least October 2016. However the new building was completed in Spring 2016, and Clara is last seen teaching in the original school building, suggesting that Series 9 occurs earlier.


 * The Titan Comics Twelfth Doctor Series places Series 9 as occurring mostly over the course of September 2015.

I would like anyone to point out flaws in this or say if they agree and suggest other related dates. BEJT ☎  01:51, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
