Yeah I figured it'd be something along those lines. Just figured I'd ask anyway though. I didn't even know that canon was such a gray area in the Doctor Who universe. Are there some mediums (Audio, comics, novels etc) that are more often accepted as canon as opposed to other mediums (excluding the TV show)? Or is asking that question essentially opening up Pandora's box amongst the fans?

My last question is just a clarification of what you guys are telling me. So what I'm understanding is that if you were able to determine what you personally considered canon you could create a "comprehensive timeline" of the Doctor's stories. However it would only be accurate to a certain extent because of the lack of chronological evidence.

Thanks again!
