Unknown dates
According to one account, the crew of a sleeper starship which set off from Earth entered deep sleep. Upon awakening on the planet Vulcan the crew opted to begin their dating system from the time they entered deep sleep and so acknowledged the year as 2010 despite the passing of several centuries.

Behind the scenes
In a sketch on The Lenny Henry Show, a version of the Seventh Doctor played by Lenny Henry and Peri Brown visited London in 2010 to find that Cybermen led by Thatchos had taken over Britain's workforce.

In the initial pitch for what would become TV: Dalek, entitled Return of the Daleks, writer Russell T Davies set the story in Utah in 2010. While the location would remain unchanged in the final version by Robert Shearman, the time would be advanced by two years to 2012, seven years ahead of its 2005 premiere.

Though the Torchwood television stories Fragments and Exit Wounds have an apparent 2008 setting going by Jack Harkness's dialogue in Exit Wounds, this is complicated by mentions of Owen Harper's early employment with Torchwood from both of these stories. While Exit Wounds explicitly states that Toshiko Sato's examination of the space pig from the Doctor Who television story Aliens of London, a story set a year after 2005, happened on Owen's second week, a caption in Fragments places Owen's recruitment four years before those stories. This appears to put Fragments and Exit Wounds in 2010 instead.
