19th century

The 19th century was very important to the Doctor. The Eighth Doctor once called 19th century England his favourite time and place, (PROSE: The Banquo Legacy) though his first incarnation clearly preferred 18th century France. (TV: The Reign of Terror)

The Doctor had at least three companions who hailed from this century, namely Victoria Waterfield, who the Second Doctor met in 1866, (TV: The Evil of the Daleks) Thomas Brewster, who started travelling with the Fifth Doctor in 1868, (AUDIO: The Haunting of Thomas Brewster, The Boy That Time Forgot) and the Eighth Doctor's companion Mary Shelley, with their first encounter taking place in 1816. (AUDIO: Mary's Story)

In this century, a Cyber-ship crash landed in the town of Klimtenburg and attempted to gather power to bring entombed Cybermen from hibernation. Their plan was foiled by the Eleventh Doctor. (PROSE: Plague of the Cybermen)

Ancestors of Gwen Cooper, who shared spatial genetic multiplicity with Gwyneth, settled in the Cardiff area. (TV: The Unquiet Dead, Journey's End)

It was also among the centuries endured by Ashildr, (TV: The Woman Who Lived) a 9th century Viking girl who was rendered effectively immortal when she was brought back to life by the Twelfth Doctor through a self-repairing Mire repair kit. (TV: The Girl Who Died)
