Theory:Timeline - Sherlock Holmes & John Watson

This page lists the appearances of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson in the order in which they experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories.

The only Sherlock and Watson pairing to have appeared in Doctor Who fiction are Big Finish's cast of Nicholas Briggs (Sherlock) and Richard Earl (Watson) who appeared in All-Consuming Fire and The Worlds of Big Finish. As such, this page consists of a secondary timeline which also covers this pairing in their non-DWU stories, mainly as a part of Big Finish's Sherlock Holmes series.
