Theory:Timeline - The Master

This page lists appearances of The Master in the order in which he experienced them.

Limiting factors
What happened to the Master after Survival are hard to reconcile as there are three opposing accounts as to what happened. Events after Doctor Who are difficult to reconcile with each other as they offer contradictory accounts to what happened when the Master escaped the Eye of Harmony.
