1963

In 1963, the First Doctor and Susan went to Earth and stayed for several months.

Events

 * 28 - Seventeen-year-old Lizzie Lewis was murdered by Ed Morgan. The crime was not solved until 2007. (TV: Ghost Machine)
 * Late March - The TARDIS materialised in the junkyard at 76 Totter's Lane, owned by I.M. Foreman, in the Shoreditch area of London, disguised incongruously as a police box. While the First Doctor attempted repairs and worked out a plan for safely disposing of the Hand of Omega on Earth, his granddaughter Susan Foreman registered at the nearby Coal Hill School against his wishes. Britain, meanwhile, was in the grip of an unusual cold wave. (PROSE: Time and Relative)


 * 1 April - The First Doctor fought off an invasion by the Cold. (PROSE: Time and Relative)


 * 22 - Whilst at a bar, Susan witnessed a human mutate into an alien. She and the Doctor followed a trail that led to Raldonn, an alien trying to mutate humans to use as pilots for his spacecraft. (COMIC: Operation Proteus) Susan was abducted by the Threshold. (COMIC: Ground Zero, COMIC: Operation Proteus)
 * The TARDIS landed on the Queen Mary, a ship the Fourth Doctor found was full of ghosts. (PROSE: Ghost Ship)
 * Late October - The First Doctor made arrangements with a Shoreditch funeral parlour to bury the Hand of Omega in a nearby churchyard. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)


 * 19 - In the Shoreditch area of London, Coal Hill School teachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright followed Susan Foreman home from the school. They discovered the Doctor's TARDIS in 76 Totter's Lane. Fearing the consequences, the First Doctor abducted them. (TV: An Unearthly Child)
 * The abduction of Ian and Barbara likely occurred on the 21st at the latest, due to the fact Susan indicates that she will return a borrowed book to the school "tomorrow"; as 22 November 1963 was a Friday, this makes it unlikely that these events occurred just before the weekend break. The chalkboard states that it is Tuesday, which would make it the 19th.


 * 22 - The Kennedy assassination took place, witnessed by the Ninth Doctor. (TV: Rose) attempted to prevent the assassination to change history, but was prevented from doing so by James Stevens, who witnessed his future self carry out the murder. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)
 * 22 - By this time the Imperial Dalek faction had a presence in London in this time zone. (COMIC: Time & Time Again)
 * After 22 November - The disappearance of two teachers was noticed, but all thought Ian and Barbara had eloped. (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy)
 * After the departure of Ian and Barbara - The Fourth Doctor arrived to deal with a Heshrax insect that he had been tracking the day he left. (PROSE: Those Left Behind)
 * After 22 November - The Spacefleet fighter Tisiphone, which had fallen into a temporal rift in 2547 during a battle with Daleks, exited the temporal rift near Earth space. Its crew escaped to England. (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad)*23 - A creature called the Shroud entered Earth soon after the assassination of the president and fed off of people's grief all around the world. The Doctor and Clara stopped the alien before it could take over the planet, and the whole event was written off as a chemical attack. (PROSE: Shroud of Sorrow)
 * 23 - In London, a man was stabbed in an alleyway with a flick knife. His murderer was never found. Elsewhere in the city, a baby boy was born and named John Fitzgerald after the recently deceased U.S. President. (AUDIO: 1963)
 * 23 - Jorjie Turner was sent from 2050 to 1963. She was retrieved by K9 Mark 2 and Starkey; together they saved William Pike from being arrested by Barker, preventing Darius Pike from being erased from history. (TV: The Cambridge Spy)
 * 29-30 - The Doctor returned to Shoreditch in his seventh incarnation to finish incomplete business and collect the Hand of Omega and aid the Intrusion Countermeasures Group, the British Army's predecessor to UNIT. ICMG set up the evacuation of civilians from a three-mile radius of a fight between Renegade and Imperial Dalek factions over the Hand, an event which saw activity in 76 Totter's Lane and Coal Hill School. Humans in the know later called this event the Shoreditch Incident. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks, PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)
 * Journalist James Stevens established the dates of Ian and Barbara's abduction and the Shoreditch Incident. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)


 * 6 December - British Army sergeant Mike Smith was buried. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
 * 22 - The Fifth Doctor and Nyssa visit Switzerland, where they solve the mystery of a school haunting and prevent the Spillager invasion of Earth. (AUDIO: Winter for the Adept)

Unknown dates

Alternative timelines

 * 25 July - While on a fishing trip to an island to the Pacific Ocean, the Fifth Doctor discovered that the TARDIS had materialised in an alternative timeline in which World War II had never ended. After being held at gunpoint by an American fighter pilot native to this timeline named Angus "Gus" Goodman, the Doctor offered him the chance to get off the island, which was Japanese territory. Goodman accepted the Doctor's offer and became a short-lived companion. (COMIC: Lunar Lagoon, COMIC: 4-Dimensional Vistas) However, he was killed by the Moderator, a hitman in the employ of Josiah W. Dogbolter, before he could be returned in the United States in his timeline. (COMIC: The Moderator)
 * The Daleks, using the Eye of Time to change history, exterminated humanity, ravaging and conquering Earth. This timeline was averted by the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond. (GAME: City of the Daleks)

Other timelines
