Then Again: The Twenty-Seventies
The Isidore Corporation Charity short
story, published 2001 Doctor: 6
featuring Peri, Frobisher, with the Time Lords (informative
mention) and probably Faction Paradox (glimpse)
Written by Sarah Hadley.
Informed guess Takes place in Los Angeles, several decades in the
future; a reference to the UK “seventy years ago” suggests seventy years after
publication.
The Moonbase TV
story, broadcast 1967 Doctor:
2
featuring the Cybermen,
Polly, Ben, Jamie
Written by Kit Pedler,
script edited by Gerry Davis.
Takes place on the Moon;

Second Chances Short story,
published 1997 Doctor: 0
featuring the
Forrester Family
Written by Alex Stewart.
Informed guess Takes place on the orbital structure Pellucidar, above Earth, “years”
after the departure of the colony ship Mandela in 2059 CE,
but the jacket that Mark Forrester received then still fits him. The
destruction of Tower Hamlets in a war between the UK and Norway sounds like the
sort of thing that might have happened in the wake of the Myloki War of 2068
CE.
Expiry Dating Audio drama, released 2020
Doctors:
5, 6, 10, with
1 (informative mention)

John, with Venus (informative mention)
Illustrated ?and written by
Neville Main.

System; self-dated 2075 CE
Algis Budrys’s 1969 novel Rogue Moon features both crude matter transmission technology –
suggesting a time say ten years before The
Seeds of Death – and a Lunar colony of clones, picking up neatly from Moon.
Ring Theory Short story, published 2020 Doctor: ?Unbound
Featuring
Chris, 10,000 Dawns, with the Time Lords
(informative mention)
Written by Charles Whitt.
Arbitrary
placement Takes
place on a crashed spaceship. It is strongly suggested that the body-hopping
entity The Gestalt is a possible future form of the Doctor.

Written by Oli Smith.

when it dematerialises.
