Theory:Timeline - Seventh Doctor

This page lists appearances of the Seventh Doctor in the order in which he experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed, much like its TV story counterparts that for each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. This does not apply to short stories which are often ambiguous about their placement. There are also many gaps between stories.

The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on Doctor Who Reference Guide and Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures, as well as Lance Parkin's AHistory and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as The Whoniverse, Doctor Who Reviews, The History of Doctor Who, The Discontinuity Guide, Clive Banks databanks, and The Divergent Universe forum. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Additionally there are statements on the back many BBC Past Doctor Adventures novels that state between which TV stories the novel takes place between. These can be used to narrow the field, but should not be viewed as the only placement for these novels.

Organisational aids
The Doctor's timeline is organised by companion, TARDIS, outfit, and personality. However, few indicators are absolute. His companions often leave and rejoin him, he switches TARDISes and TARDIS interiors multiple times, he sometimes explicitly wears the "wrong" outfit for a period, and his personality can be difficult to pin down. He's also seen removing his more "useless" memories in PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys, explaining errors in continuity he makes.

Stories where the Doctor travels alone are most often organised by personality: if he is more lighthearted, they can be placed early in his life or immediately before the end, while stories where he is more sombre are usually placed close to, but not immediately before, his death.

The Doctor switches from usually wearing his lighter jacket to usually wearing the darker one in AUDIO: 1963: The Assassination Games. His white linen suit is introduced in PROSE: White Darkness, though he might have worn it before and still occasionally wears his old jacket. Stories where he wears his tweed jacket should be placed after PROSE: So Vile a Sin.

Companions
Any stories where the Doctor is travelling with just Melanie Bush must take place between Time and the Rani and Dragonfire, while any story with her and Ace must follow A Life of Crime.

Any stories involving a younger Ace must take place from Dragonfire to Love and War, while any story where Ace has combat-training must take place after Deceit.

Any stories where he travels with Bernice Summerfield only must take place between Love and War and Deceit, or between Set Piece and Happy Endings. Any stories where Ace and Benny's relationship is non-antagonistic must take place after No Future.

Any story with Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej as companions must take place between Original Sin and So Vile a Sin. Any story featuring just Chris as a companion must take place before Lungbarrow.

Any story where the Doctor and Ace travel with Hex/Hector must take place between The Harvest and Signs and Wonders.

Complications
The Doctor edits his more "useless" memories in Timewyrm: Genesys, which can explain anything he's forgotten from previous incarnations and adventures.

The Doctor Who Magazine comics start off with the Doctor travelling with Frobisher, who acts like Peri Brown has just departed, before he himself leaves the series. The early comics also portray the Doctor as he acted in Time and the Rani, until Nemesis of the Daleks sees him act as the manipulator he had become in the latter part of his television tenure.

Ace
Ace loses some of her memories in Timewyrm: Genesys and again in The Prisoner's Dilemma, which can explain anything she's forgotten from her previous travels.

Ace's characterisation is complicated and inconsistent. It can be roughly divided into a few versions, though:
 * * TV Ace. Ace is immature, enjoys explosives, and is not always given a large role in the Doctor's plans. She is often exasperated or hurt by the Doctor's manipulation of her and reticence about the situation and his plans - see The Curse of Fenric, Thin Ice, Nightshade, and Love and War. She is characterised like this on TV, in the "Season 27" Lost Stories, in some of the early New Adventures, and in a variety of short stories. Some writers revert to this characterisation in spite of chronologically earlier stories where she is more mature: In Cat's Cradle: Warhead she is capable and the Doctor trusts her, but she is immature in Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark. Most of her early monthlies also make her more mature and capable (in line with developments of TV and in the New Adventures) but in The Rapture Joe Lidster indulges his soap opera tendencies and her decision to start going by "McShane" comes off as very immature.
 * * "New Ace." After her return to the TARDIS in Deceit, Ace is even more angsty and gung-ho. Sophie Aldred deliberately makes her sound younger on audio. She often identifies herself as a soldier, and is abrasive toward Benny and (especially) the Doctor, at least until No Future, when they resolve their differences. She is also depicted like this in Random Ghosts/The Lights of Skaro and Enemy of the Daleks.
 * Older Ace. Ace matures gradually, becoming more capable, more familiar with the Doctor, and is given larger roles in the Doctor's plans. This is seen in Cat's Cradle: Warhead and most of her early monthly audios. It become especially prominent once Hex is introduced (from The Harvest on) and she becomes less prone to use explosives, more dedicated to TARDIS-life, a mentor figure to Hex, and more accepting of the Doctor's manipulative nature.

The comic Ground Zero depicts Ace (dressed as she was on TV) dying while travelling with the Doctor, who wears the outfit he wore in Doctor Who. This was intended to deliberately contradict other DWM comics and the New Adventures, but can be made to fit anyway.

TARDIS
In Iceberg and Sanctuary, the Doctor travels in the Jade Pagoda - the TARDIS's small "escape pod." The Doctor starts travelling in the TARDIS of an alternate version of his third incarnation in Blood Heat, and doesn't switch back until Happy Endings. In The Angel of Scutari, the TARDIS turns white. It stays that way until Gods and Monsters. After Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge and until Gods and Monsters (when it is destroyed) the Doctor also travels in a second, black TARDIS - the daughter of the proper, white one.

The change from the TARDIS's white interior to the Doctor Who one is depicted or referred to several times.
 * In Lungbarrow, where the TARDIS changes into a Victorian parlour design to resemble the Doctor's family estate in the House of Lungbarrow, and retains the look into Doctor Who.
 * Notre Dame du Temps references the change being recent, and also refers to meeting Romana (in Lungbarrow).
 * The Settling follows a period where the Doctor and companions are separated, and says that they've just redecorated. From that point on, monthlies with Ace have Doctor Who TARDIS sound effects.
 * From Black and White to Gods and Monsters, the proper TARDIS temporarily reuses the white interior and the black one has the Doctor Who one.
 * The interior very temporarily reverts in Signs and Wonders.
 * In Ground Zero, the TARDIS (with white interior) is damaged, and it's implied that it's going to change, with the authorial intent being that it changed to the Victorian parlour design in the lead up to Doctor Who.
 * Excelis Decays claims that the Doctor apparently built the Victorian parlour design himself.

Regeneration and Mel

 * The audio's blurb sets this between Paradise Towers and Delta and the Bannermen, and the Doctor is carrying his red question mark umbrella, setting this after The Warehouse.
