Theory:Timeline - Thirteenth Doctor

This page lists appearances of the Thirteenth Doctor in the order in which she experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed that for each novel, comic, audio or television series, their published, broadcast or numbered order is the order they occur in.

The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures, as well as Lance Parkin's AHistory and other sources that allow us to make observations, such as Doctor Who Reviews, and Clive Banks databanks. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

A new body

 * Follows on directly from Twice Upon a Time.


 * TV: The Ghost Monument

 * PROSE: Avatars of the Intelligence
 * The Doctor meets up with the Brigadier.


 * PROSE: The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone

Awaiting placement

 * These entries are placed here until evidence presents itself that provides a clue as to where they happen in relation to other entries. Some of these are part of ongoing storylines that could present evidence towards the end of the plot.


 * COMIC: The Warmonger
 * The Doctor isn't attempting to reach Sheffield.


 * PROSE: The Good Doctor
