Regency era

The Regency era was a time period in the United Kingdom during George IV's reign from 1813 to 1837 in the 19th century. (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)

Upon visiting in Slough in 1791, the Tenth Doctor noted that they had landed in the Regency era. (AUDIOThe Sword of the Chevalier)

The First Doctor, Steven Taylor and Vicki Pallister visited the River Thames frost fair on February 1814, which Vicki described as the "last great frost fair". (AUDIO: Frostfire) The Eleventh Doctor, River Song and Stevie Wonder visited the same fair for River's birthday in 1814. Wonder performed for them in private, under one of the bridges. Given his blindness, Wonder was unaware that he had travelled in time. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 6 (BBC One, 2011).)

The Twelfth Doctor also visited Regency London with Bill Potts, where they attended the same frost fair and investigated people disappearing on the ice, which turned out to be a giant sea serpent. Lord Sutcliffe planned to blow open the ice during the fair, enabling the serpent to feed on them all. However, the Doctor placed the explosives next to the creature, freeing it from its chains. When Sutcliffe went onto the ice to investigate, the serpent cracked the ice, and Sutcliffe fell through. (TV: Thin Ice [+]Sarah Dollard, Doctor Who series 10 (BBC One, 2017).)

Due to Helen Angove being a reincarnation of Jane Austen's niece, Fanny Knight, Helen wrote unequalled stories set in the Regency era. (PROSE: Contributors)

The Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday visited a ball during the Regency era where they encountered the Chuldur and Rogue. (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
