This page lists the order of stories in the Doctor Who Universe timeline from Event One to the far future. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories.

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, and LegoK9's timeline. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.


 * Direct quotes indicating the time period the story takes place should be provided.


 * Stories without any clear indication of the era should be omitted. (e.g. TV: Mummy on the Orient Express)


 * Many stories will contradict each other, so these contradictions should be noted but treated equally. (e.g. The Enemy of the World)
