List of Doctor Who serials by setting

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

The majority of the stories in the long-running television series Doctor Who and its spin-offs include an element of time travel, with the settings taking place on dates across a wide span of time in the fictional universe of Doctor Who – the "Whoniverse".

To date, 13 actors have portrayed the Doctor,[1] with each receiving an ordinal number (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.), aside from the unnumbered War Doctor (WD) who came between the 8th and 9th. This list encompasses the adventures of all 13 Doctors and the spin-off series Torchwood (TW), The Sarah Jane Adventures (SJA), K-9 (K-9), and the singular pilot episode of K-9 and Company (K-9 & Co). It also includes the animated serial, Scream of the Shalka (REG-9), which was produced by the BBC as official canon but subsequently de-canonized[citation needed] when the series was revived in 2005. The canonicity of the direct-to-video productions from Reeltime Pictures and BBV (RTP) is uncertain[citation needed], although elements from them have been incorporated into the series proper.[nb 1]

This list also covers the "dark" versions of the Doctor, including the Valeyard (VL) and the Dream Lord (DL). It also includes the Watcher (WC), an "in-between" incarnation between the fourth and fifth incarnations.

This list does not cover audio dramas such as the extensive number of Big Finish Productions, novels, short stories, nor comic strips.

Dating[edit]

Not all of these stories can have a possible date attributed to them. Some have none; some have more than one, and some have contradictory dating. For example, most of the adventures in Doctor Who featuring the fictional UNIT organisation contain information that would attribute various, often contradictory dates between the 1960s to the 1980s to them. Over the long period of production, different writers have suggested different dates on which the stories are set, resulting in some noted controversy regarding these stories. Other stories take place on the timeless fictional planet of Gallifrey; stories set there can be attributed to a distinct chronological order but cannot be attributed to any specific date.

Many stories and episodes depict or refer to events similar to historical events in real life, or involve characters identifiable as real-life historic individuals. Many dates or periods of time are given without specifying the calendar or units of time; they may be in the Gregorian calendar and the units of time are those in common, everyday usage in the real world.

Dates and times refer to the terrestrial time zone observed at the situs of the story. Time zones are only indicated where required for clarity because of events overlapping on different dates. For example, two stories occur on New Year's Eve 1999/2000. The climax of "Day of the Moon" occurs in both the United States where it was the night of 20 July 1969, as well as on the Moon where it was 21 July, GMT.

Rose told Reinette the clockwork droids would come for her in five years; they came for her when she was 37. The King says Reinette was 43 when she died. Consistent with the years stated on her portrait in the story, and the actual dates of her birth (29 December 1721) and death (15 April 1764), she was 42 years, 3 months, and 2.5 weeks old, in her 43rd year when she died.

  262. ↑ The Rani is bouncing the Doctor's 3d, 5th, 6th, & 7th incarnations in a "time loop" of 20-year intervals; the date of 23 November (the anniversary of the series' 1963 première) is stated. The Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith deduce the 20-year intervals of 1973, 1993, & 2013. The 2013 scenes are identified by EastEnders characters' dialogue & prosthetic make-up, a futuristic train speeding by, and the attire of EastEnders characters & extras.
  263. ↑ Strax addresses the audience directly, establishing simultaneity with the original screening, which was concurrent with the global simulcast on 23 November 2013.

  265. ↑ When the Doctor asks Amy how long he's been gone from her and Rory's perspective, she tells him that it has been 2 years.
  266. ↑ On-screen caption reads "April"; the epilogue of "The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe" took place 25 December 2013; In "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", Rory states he is 31 years old to his dad, Brian. Amelia states in "The Eleventh Hour" that in 1996, she was 7 years old. Amy, Rory and Mels were all classmates, as depicted in "Let's Kill Hitler", making Rory about the same age as Amy. "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" takes place 10 months after Asylum of the Daleks. In "The Power of Three" Amy says "We think it’s been ten years. Not for you, or Earth, but for us. Ten years older. Ten years with you, on and off." So this story is less than ten years after "The Eleventh Hour".
  267. ↑ On-screen caption reads "May".
  268. ↑ On-screen caption reads "June".
  269. ↑ On-screen caption reads "July".
  270. ↑ On-screen caption reads "August".
  271. ↑ Amy and Rory execute divorce paperwork and discuss Amy throwing Rory out of the marital home which occurred in the final episode of Pond Life
  272. ↑ Rory states he is 31 years old to his dad, Brian. Amelia states in "The Eleventh Hour" that in 1996, she was 7 years old. Amy, Rory and Mels were all classmates, as depicted in "Let's Kill Hitler", making Rory about the same age as Amy. "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" takes place 10 months after Asylum of the Daleks. In "The Power of Three" Amy says "We think it’s been ten years. Not for you, or Earth, but for us. Ten years older. Ten years with you, on and off." So this story is less than ten years after adult Amy's portion of "The Eleventh Hour".
  273. ↑ Rory states he is 31 years old to his dad, Brian, in "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship". Amelia states in "The Eleventh Hour" that in 1996, she was 7 years old. Amy, Rory and Mels were all classmates, as depicted in "Let's Kill Hitler", making Rory about the same age as Amy. "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" takes place 10 months after Asylum of the Daleks. In "The Power of Three" Amy says "We think it’s been ten years. Not for you, or Earth, but for us. Ten years older. Ten years with you, on and off." So this story is less than ten years after adult Amy's portion of "The Eleventh Hour".
  274. ↑ Amy & Rory have 59 voicemail messages, and Amy clears the expired food out of their refrigerator. Their laundry is rancid.
  275. ↑ During the Pond's wedding anniversary (in June) Amy is on the phone saying that it's been nine months since the cubes arrive. Brian keeps a log for 361 days and he was in the TARDIS for 4 days before then making the cubes having been on the planet for exactly a year. The 67th day of Brian's log is after Laura's October engagement party.
  276. ↑ But see: On-screen caption reads "July" when Brian records his 361st daily log.
  277. ↑ Brian is watering Amy & Rory's plants as promised; he notes how lonely and empty the house is in their absence. Rory's letter stated his intention for Anthony to deliver the letter a week after his and Amy's departure
  278. ↑ Kate Lethbridge-Stewart recognizes the Eleventh Doctor, placing the episode after their meeting "The Power of Three". Clara Oswald has progressed from being a nanny to a school teacher, placing the episode at least a couple of years after the 2013 scenes of her in the Maitlands' house in "The Name of the Doctor"; she is shown to have visited UNIT's black archives in the past and had her memory wiped. Ian Chesterton is the chairman of the Coal Hill School's board of governors, whereas he was only known by Sarah Jane Smith to be a professor at Cambridge in 2010 in "Death of the Doctor". Conversely, the vehicles, costumes and props are consistent with the episode's 2013 filming & airing, placing the setting not very far into the future.
  279. ↑ Caption at the start of Episode 1.
  280. ↑ Ten years into Amy & Rory's / Earth's future.
  281. ↑ The Doctor informs Mel that Paradise Towers won several architectural awards in the 21st century.

  335. ↑ The battle of Demon's Run and the decapitation of Dorium Maldovar were in the past from Gantok's perspective. Dorium had a communications chip installed in his disembodied head "years ago" so as to access the WiFi in the Seventh Transept and keep himself entertained.

Amy's bedroom alarm clock switched over to 12:00 a.m., 26 June 2010, as they reboarded the TARDIS.
  384. ↑ The mini-episode dovetails into the start of "The Vampires of Venice"; Doctor goes to Rory's stag party ahead of that episode's cold-open and replaces Lucy (the diabetic stripper) in the giant cake. Daylight shines in through the pub's windows.
  385. ↑ The Doctor is reunited with Amy and Rory at the end of "A Christmas Carol"
  386. ↑ "The Impossible Astronaut" opens in the spring of 2011 after Amy & Rory have been back to "real life" for some months. The couple's friends and family believed that they honeymooned in Thailand after their 26 June 2010 wedding, as stated by Brian Williams in "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship".

Jenny, a human female, has not visibly aged since "The Crimson Horror".
  397. ↑ Although the canon of "Songtaran Carols" is most dubious, the actors all appear in-character. It is accordingly included herein in the interest of completeness.
  398. ↑ Whilst the sketches attached to live events are of dubious canon, the actors all appeared exclusively in-character. The sketch is thus included herein in the interest of completeness.
  399. ↑ At the end of the sketch, Clara Oswald absconds with the BAFTA trophy, whilst telling the Doctor to "Wish me well," indicating that she was dashing out to the award ceremony with which the sketch was presented.
  400. ↑ Strax reports on the discovery of the Doctor's previously unknown incarnation, first revealed at Trenzalore in "The Name of the Doctor"
  401. ↑ Strax reports the sighting of the Doctor in Trafalgar Square; the footage that followed was of the filming of "The Day of the Doctor"; Kate Stewart's familiarity with the Eleventh Doctor places the episode after "The Power of Three", the setting of which ran through October 2017. Additionally, Clara has become qualified to hold a school teacher position in the interim between the 10 April 2013 setting of "The Name of the Doctor"'s present-day scenes, and start of "The Day of the Doctor".
  402. ↑ The Zygons, having frozen themselves in suspended animation in paintings in 1562, invade the 2018 "present day" in "The Day of the Doctor". Strax refers to the 1973 events of The Terror of the Zygons as an earlier attempt by the Zygons to invade Earth.

  405. ↑ Although the canon of the inserts is most dubious, Matt Smith remains in-character as the Eleventh Doctor and no mention is made of the title of the lecture, thus negating a meta reference. It is accordingly included herein in the interest of completeness.
  406. ↑ Strax is reports about people decorating their homes with coloured lights for Christmas, placing him after the popularisation of inexpensive electric fairy lights in post-depression/post-war Britain.
  407. ↑ Strax's apparently newfound awareness of Christmas implies that the mini-episode takes place shortly prior to "The Snowmen" from his perspective. Strax states his plans to greet Madame Vastra with a "missile toe" [sic].
  408. ↑ Although the story principally featured the Eleventh Doctor, he did not appear in the scenes of the First Doctor and Susan [or whatever name she used prior to arriving at the I.M. Foreman scrapyard]. Rather, archival footage of the late William Hartnell was colourised and inserted into a new computer-generated setting with Jenna-Louise Coleman's Clara Oswald, along with uncredited doubles depicting the Doctor & Susan's backs. The scenes in question took place - from the Doctor's and Susan's perspective - prior to the series' première story, "An Unearthly Child".
  409. ↑ The scene of the Fourth Doctor skulking down a corridor in the chancellery on Gallifrey is clipped from 11:01 into episode 2 of The Invasion of Time; Leela is digitally replaced with Clara Oswald at the end of the corridor.
