A Biography of the Doctor

The Doctor's Timeline

These pages provide a simple timeline for the Doctor's life, detailing every appearance he's made within the Whoniverse.

What's included?

Currently the timeline only features the TV Series, books, and audios. But any officially licensed story which includes the Doctor should be in the timeline. Unrecorded adventures are only included if they feature an important event (e.g. the departure of a companion). The novel Who Killed Kennedy only features the Doctor very briefly at the end. However, because events in the novel are concurrent with and strongly affected by the Third Doctor's exile to Earth, the individual chapters are placed within the timeline.

What information is included?

Story

This is the story's title. Occasionally there is a dispute about a title. We have used the more familiar titles for stories, occasionally with minor variations. The 1996 TV Movie is called The TV Movie. New series stories are listed as episodes to avoid confusion. Short stories are listed by their story title, and not the collection they are from.

Type

What type of story this is - a TV Story, a Virgin or BBC Novel, a Big Finish Audio, a Short Story, or whatever. If the appearance isn't a full story, it is listed as flashback, cameo, or guest appearance as appropriate. Short stories have the anthology title listed here.

Placement

Explains why this story is where it is. Also notes major events such as regenerations or companions joining and leaving.

Companions

A list of the companions and companion-like characters who appear in this story. So the UNIT regulars and Kadiatu (from the New Adventures) are included, but notable villains (like the Master or Davros), and some recurring allies (such as Irving Braxiatel and Iris Wildthyme) are not included.
