Dark Water and Death in Heaven TV story, broadcast 2014 Doctor:
12
Featuring the Cybermen, Missy,
UNIT, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Clara
Written by Steven Moffat.

November 2015 CE.
Onesies Short story,
published 2015 Doctor: 0
Featuring Iris Wildthyme
Written by Steve Palace.
Contemporary to publication Takes place in a version of Yorkshire.
Strictly speaking,
Samhain and its costume shop were destroyed in March 2005 (Self-Possessed), but onesies and a
character who is clearly a version of Walter White from Breaking Bad strongly suggest a
decade later. I have decided that where Iris Wildthyme is concerned,
culture takes
precedence over meaning.

In Search of Doctor X Short story,
published 2015 Doctor: 0
Featuring Erimem
Written by Beth Jones.
Takes place in London; self-dated Christmas 2015 CE. It seems unlikely
that there should
be a popular TV series called Doctor X in 1964, an another unrelated one called Professor
X in 1976 (No Future). I assume that at some point in between, X got academic tenure.
