Theory:Timeline - Twelfth Doctor

This page lists appearances of the Twelfth Doctor in the order in which he 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, they're 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, Clive Banks databanks, Whopix, and the Big Finish forums. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Characteristics
Through Series 8, the Twelfth Doctor is depicted as gruff and confrontational to others, even doubting if he is a "good man" as he hides his nicer qualities behind his grumpy exterior, with his rage notoriously targeted a military figures. Cynical to the point of insensitivity, he could be seen as callous and dismissive, not even enjoying hugs. However, he still acted for the protection of others against aggressors, even when he knew that he only had hard decision to make that had unavoidable loss of life.

By Series 9, the Twelfth Doctor had started to embrace his wacky characteristics, just as playing his guitar for enjoyment and using cue cards to improve his socialising. He noticeably become more open to hugging, but only on his terms. However, his fierce anger would still flare up when the need for practicality arose, though he made more an effort to avoid such callousness unless it was truly necessary.

In the extended universe material published during the year long between Series 9 and 10, such as Doctor Who Magazine and Doctor Who Adventures, the Doctor was depicted with the same qualities as Series 9, albeit with his negative qualities turned down, having the Doctor appear as an adventurous gentleman with a habit of telling off anyone who plighted him.

In Series 10, having been in self-exile at St Luke's University for a number of years, the Doctor was shown with a wanderlust for traveling for the sheer joy of it and to educate Bill. He also made friends easier due to no longer trying to lord his superiority over others, and valiantly saw himself as Earth's protector, even answering distress signals to show people the universe still had kindness within it. However, his willingness to see the universe away from St. Luke's made him act impulsively and make reckless actions that left his guard down.

Companions
Any story featuring Clara Oswald must come after TV: Deep Breath and before TV: Face the Raven.

Any story featuring Nardole must come after the flashback in TV: Extremis and before TV: World Enough and Time. Any story featuring Bill Potts must come after TV: The Pilot and before TV: World Enough and Time.

Sonic devices
During his first season, the Twelfth Doctor continues to use the Eleventh Doctor's green crystalline sonic screwdriver model. In his second season, however, he decides to replace his sonic screwdriver with a pair of sonic sunglasses after losing the screwdriver in TV: The Magician's Apprentice, until the TARDIS gifts him a new sonic screwdriver with a blue metal design at the end of TV: Hell Bent. Logically, this would put every story where the Doctor utilises the green crystalline model before The Magician's Apprentice, and every story where he uses the blue metal model after Hell Bent.

However, during the Titan Publishing Group Year 2 comic Clara Oswald and the School of Death, confirmed to be set at least after TV: The Zygon Inversion by the appearance of two Osgoods, the Doctor reacquires a spare green crystalline model he had lent to Clara during COMIC: The Fractures, explaining how he is able to possess his green crystalline sonic screwdriver in expanded media stories set during Series 9.

Last stand on the Mondasian colony ship

 * Deciding to give Missy a test to see her progress, the Doctor, Bill and Nardole take Missy to a colony ship escaping a black hole, where Bill is shot by Jorj in a panic and taken by the Mondasians to be converted into one of the first Cybermen by the Saxon Master, who seduces Missy into joining him, leading directly into The Doctor Falls.

Two weeks after Nardole is able to rescue them, the Doctor, holding off his regeneration, tries to help Bill come to terms with being a Cyberman on Floor 0507, but matters become complicated when Missy accidently alerts the Cybermen on Floor 1056 of their location. As Nardole leads the colonist on the ship to Floor 0502, the Doctor and Bill stay behind to face the Cybermen as Missy and the Master flee. After falling in battle, the Doctor is taken back to his TARDIS by Bill and Heather, whom was able to extract Bill from her Cyber-body by turning her into sentient oil. After Bill and Heather leave to see the universe, the Doctor awakens, but still refuses to regenerate, and exits the TARDIS with the intent of dying where they have landed.


 * WC: Peter Capaldi and Simon the Shy Cyberman Invite You to Breakfast with 7 Doctors
 * Set during The Doctor Falls, with the Doctor coming across Simon the Shy Cyberman while exploring the forests of Floor 0507. His hand is noticeably unbandaged and it is the daytime, implying a placement prior to his meeting with Bill in the barn.

Grappling with death

 * TV: Twice Upon a Time
 * Immediately following The Doctor Falls, the Twelfth Doctor and the First Doctor see time freeze around them as World War I Captain Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart escapes the glass avatar of Helen Clay, who aims to return him to hid death now that the Testimony Foundation has harvested his memories. When the Doctors stand to protect the Captain, a glass avatar of Bill emerges and joins with the Doctors and the Captain as they head to Villengard so that the Twelfth Doctor can learn more about the Testimony Foundation from Rusty and the Dalek Pathweb. When he learns they are a benevolent organisation, the Doctor offers to return the Captain to 1914 Ypres, and then adjusts events so that he is saved by the Christmas Armistice. As the First Doctor leaves to face his own regeneration, the Twelfth Doctor is comforted by glass avatars of Bill, Nardole and Clara and is convinced to regenerate into his next incarnation, which he does in his TARDIS after giving a final speech.
