Theory:Timeline - Multi-Doctor stories

This page lists every Multi-Doctor story in which two or more incarnations meet or appear in close proximity to each other in the order in which each incarnation of the Doctor experienced them, with an analysis of their state in the memories of the Doctor and any other applicable individuals.

The Doctor does not appear to retain this information, not recognising Rose, Mickey, or Jackie upon their first proper meeting in Rose, nor Harriet in Aliens of London, and with the Tenth Doctor believing the vapour from some tea that Rose and Mickey had spilt in the TARDIS to be the key to his recovery.

He also meets Kate Stewart, and future companion Clara Oswald. The Tenth Doctor temporarily becomes aware of the truth as to what happened at the end of the war, and reevaluates his opinion of the War Doctor. As his immediate successor affirmed, the Tenth Doctor would lose his memory of these events due to the de-synched time streams. Nonetheless, he would still remember marrying Queen Elizabeth in The End of Time.

 * Shortly after parting company from his two predecessors, the Eleventh Doctor meets the Curator in the Under Gallery, who all but confirms to him that their attempts to save Gallifrey were successful. The Eleventh Doctor supposedly comes away from the encounter with no memory of it, but "with the strange, groundless conviction that Gallifrey is still out there".


 * TV: Deep Breath
 * Set during the ending of The Time of the Doctor, the Eleventh Doctor, shortly before his regeneration, calls Clara Oswald in the near future to convince her to stay with his successor.

The Eleventh Doctor briefly learns through this exchange, to his chagrin, that his next incarnation is "old".
