User:Cousin Ettolrhc/Sandbox/Timeline - Eighth Doctor

Immediately Post-Regeneration


Only sources which are adaptations of, or set within, either Doctor Who: The Movie or sources set as direct sequels, should be included here
 * TV: Doctor Who: The Movie / PROSE: The Novel of the Film / PROSE: The TV Movie
 * PROSE: The Eight Doctors - set immediately after Doctor Who: The Movie
 * AUDIO: Bounty - part of the DVD release Earth and Beyond. Sam Jones's first trip in the TARDIS, setting this immediately after The Eight Doctors

Early travels with Sam and early solo adventures
''Between adventures with Sam, the Doctor begins taking several "side trips" by himself. (PROSE: Seeing I) The following stories are not internally ordered (unless clumped together), but all fit into this section.
 * PROSE: Model Train Set- part of the Short Trips series.
 * The Doctor us still adjusting to his new personality
 * The Eighth Doctor was first mentioned as having a train set in PROSE: ''Vampire Science


 * PROSE: The People's Temple - part of the Short Trips series. The Doctor sees the result of his tampering with the TARDIS model train set, setting this after Model Train Set


 * PROSE: Suns and Mothers - part of the Short Trips series.
 * The Doctor up in a hospital, saying he's already "been there, done that", suggesting a placement shortly after The 1996 Movie
 * This may be inaccurate, as the Doctor could remember this event at any point in his life he doesn't have amnesia, although he is more likely to reference it if it was more recent.


 * PROSE: The Queen of Eros - part of the Short Trips series. No solid reason for placement, but it features Sam and the Doctor with no explanation of placement, so placing it in the gap with few published stories despite being reasonably long in-universe makes some sense. But feel free to contact Cousin Ettolrhc if you disagree.


 * PROSE: Thinking Warrior - part of the Short Trips series
 * PROSE: The Ethereal - part of the Short Trips series
 * Set immediately after Thinking Warrior, and the Doctor is described as looking "young", placing this early in his life, although not necessisarily as early as I have placed it.

BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures
See /EDA

Big Finish Eighth Doctor Adventures
See /8DA
 * Note that the Main Range adventures with Charley Pollard are not objectively included here, and covered separately. However the possibility of them immediately preceeding is acknowledged.

The Night of the Doctor outfit

 * CONTINUITY: Any story where the Eighth Doctor wears his outfit from The Night of the Doctor  should go here

Titan comics
As of 2023, these are the only series where the Eighth Doctor is wearing his Night of the Doctor outfit, but there isn't a cosmic crisis going on Note that there isn't sufficient evidence to place this before or after Time Lord Victorius in the timeline, but it has been placed before here due to the assumption based on release date (2016-2017 for these, 2020 (releases) for TLV).

Time Lord Victorious
See /TLV

Avoiding the Time War
''See /Time War for the continuity which ends in the regeneration into the War Doctor in TV: The Night of the Doctor, mainly covered by Big Finish's The Eighth Doctor: Time War
 * NOTE FOR DEV, DO REMOVE: Theory:Timeline_-_Eighth_Doctor should be critically examined for inclusion, particular the parts before 8:TW

Ending the Time War
This is for the continuity presumed until TV: The Night of the Doctor, repopulised by Doctor Who and the Time War but which other stories had prevouisly utilised
 * CONTINUITY NOTE: Any story where the Eighth Doctor takes an active role in the Last Great Time War, especially if it is hinted that he will destroy the Time Lords and Daleks by the end, is presumed to take place here.
 * NOTE: All stories here are in some level of contradiction, and no relative placement is presumed


 * PROSE: Osskah - part of the Short Trips series.
 * The Doctor is carrying out distress calls to put an end to a "storm in Heaven", presumably the Last Great Time War due to being released in 2007, but the similarity in name to the War in Heaven could make it a reference to that.
 * The Eighth Doctor silver sonic screwdriver with a blue emitter, a description that matches the Ninth Doctor's, implying a setting near the end of his life.


 * PROSE: Museum Peace - part of the Short Trips series. He knows he will "change again", but must do something involving [[Fall of Gallifrey|ending a war with the Daleks.


 * COMIC: The Forgotten: Revelation - Wearing old, worn-out Victorian clothing, the Doctor attempts to find a way to end the Time War with the Key of Rassilon. Upon looking back on his eighth incarnation, the Tenth Doctor indicated that he ended the war shortly after inquiring the Key.


 * PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War - the Eighth Doctor ends the Last Great Time War using The Moment. Powered by the Restoration, he is able to subvert the Moment's effect of disabling regeneration, and become the Ninth Doctor.
 * PROSE: ''The Eyeless mentioned the Doctor using a weapon to wipe out the Daleks and Time Lords.
