Nu-Who Viewing Order
Rules of the Viewing Order:


 * This is  not a timeline . It's a viewing order to help the viewer navigate their way through Doctor Who and its spin-offs, whilst ensuring the journey doesn't get tiring or boring. For that reason, where possible, the series alternate and intertwine before meeting where they should be.
 * There will be  no spoilers or explanations  in this viewing order just in case someone wants to genuinely use it.
 * Everything is categorised into  years . For example, year one works with series one of Doctor Who. There is also a year zero to allow for prequel series that take place in that time period pre-Aliens of London. You'll see what I mean.
 * Codes will be used, such as DW for Doctor Who, TW for Torchwood and so on. You'll get used to it, and forgive me if I forget to implement it from time to time. Feel free to remind me in my talkpage.
 * This has been made so that  you can pick and choose whatever parts of the universe you wish  (which series you wish to watch/listen to/read).
