featuring the Ogrons, the Sontarans, the Rutan, Benny, Roz, Chris

Written by Terrance Dicks.

Informed guess Takes place in Tellurian space, some years before Mean Streets.

Why I Respectfully Disagree With Lance Parkin On Dating.

Parkin assumes that this must take place a few years after Lords of the Storm, presumably because the Sontarans have not yet taken advantage of the Sentarion worm-hole...but Admiral Sarg is regarded as an eccentric, and this project will have been given a low priority. A time much closer to Mean Streets, particularly with regard to Garshak’s lifespan, makes more sense, I think.

 

Pitch Black (2000) is set in an Earth-based interstellar culture and dated 2578, all I think entirely compatible with Doctor Who narrative.

featuring Braxiatel, Benny, Chris

Written by Gary Russell.

Takes place on Dellah and in the Adnethe system; self-dated six months after Benny has joined St.Oscar’s, but it probably means sixteen, being written, after all, by Gary Russell.

Iris Wildthyme and the Claws of Santa   Audio drama, released 2009                                             Doctor: 0

Featuring Iris Wildthyme

Written by Cavan Scott and Mark Wright.

Informed guess Takes place partly in a planet-sized shopping mall and at the North Pole. What can I say about Iris Wildthyme? That’s actually helpful to this chronology? There are android store detectives. That’s about it, really.

featuring Benny

Written by Mags L Halliday.

Informed guess Takes place on Dellah, before Where Angels Fear, but an autumn, “some years” after 2592 CE. Of course, there is no reason to suppose that Dellahan years, and autumns, coincide with Tellurian ones.

Where Angels Fear   Novel, published 1998                                Doctor: 0

featuring Braxiatel, Benny, the Worldsphere, the Grel, with the Time Lords, the Second War in Heaven (informative mention)

Featuring Braxiatel, the Ice Warriors. Benny, Chris, the Worldsphere, with the Time Lords (glimpse)

Written by Justin Richards.

Takes place in Tellurian space, several months after The Mary-Sue Extrusion. For Chris, it takes place immediately after Dead Romance, and therefore in 2596 CE. It is not impossible that the Oracle, who is clearly known to Braxiatel, is the Civitata statue from the City of the Saved, which is to say the last iteration of Compassion, enjoying an after-afterlife back in the universe.

Modern Love   Short story, published 2012                                               Doctor: 0

Across the Darkened City   Audio drama, released 2017               Doctor: 1

Featuring the Daleks, Steven, with Vicki (informative mention)

Written by David Bartlett.

Informed guess Takes place on Shade, near but not necessarily inTellurian space. At the end of the story, Dalek Two One Zero becomes Emperor. Because he initiates research into the Human Factor, the implication is that he is the Emperor seen in The Evil of the Daleks; but in Doctor Who – The Evil of the Daleks, the novelisation, that Emperor is explicitly identified as the former Dalek Prime. My suggestion is that this story takes place between Nemesis of the Daleks, when the Golden Emperor is killed, and the Telluro-Dalek conflict of the early twenty-seventh century, at the end of which the Daleks, and their Emperor, are disarmed and confined to Skaro (The Mechanical Planet).

The Joy Device   Novel, published 1999                                          Doctor: 0

Pureblood   Comic story, published 1993                                                   Doctor: 7

featuring the Sontarans, the Rutan, Benny, and the Daleks (informative mention)

informed guess Takes place above Pandora; self-dated the twenty-sixth century. Apparently, it is some time after Love and War. The Doctor says the Sontaran-Rutan conflict has been going on for ten centuries, which is very wrong, unless he is using Pandoran centuries and Pandora takes over thirty million years to orbit its primary, which would make it a very long way out. Stave is addressed as Marshal and Admiral: perhaps dual rank was conferred on him as a crisis response to the fall of Sontara. The Pureblood Sontarans are tall and spindly, but if they have spent over three aeons on a planet with lower gravity than Sontara, that is a very modest change.

Kill the Mouse!   Short story, published 2002                                          Doctor: 0

featuring Braxiatel, Benny

Written by Daniel O’Mahony.

Informed guess Takes place on Ganesh; after Twilight of the Gods but before The Infernal Nexus.

Time’s Team   Short story, published 2002                                               Doctor: 0

Featuring Braxiatel, Benny

Written by David A McIntee.

Informed guess Takes place in the Koloppan system; some time after Twilight of the Gods. That Benny, here described as an academic, is working with Braxiatel, does not, I think, mean she has started working at the Collection.

Little Doctors   Audio story, released 2015                                               Doctor: 2

Featuring Jamie, Zoe

Written by Philip Lawrence.
