      Amazing work but I don’t think Scream of The Shalka is canon. Everyone knows that after Night of the Doctor, the 8th Doctor regenerated into the War Doctor then The 9th Doctor up until The present 13th Doctor or is she the 14th Doctor

        Hi Peter.

        Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

        I put ‘Scream of the Shalka’ there as a possible alternative since there was the possibility the Shalka Doctor could’ve been the Ninth Doctor before the BBC announced the show was coming back on TV in 2005.

        Hi Travis,

        I haven’t heard the new ‘Peladon’ release yet. I’ll investigate and see if I can find temporary placements for the stories for certain characters.

        Many thanks,

        Tim 🙂

    Hi Floyd.

    Many thanks for dropping a line. Very pleased you ‘love’ my Eighth Doctor’s timeline.

    I do my best to keep my ‘Doctor Who’ timelines up to date. I welcome any suggestions to improve it with new stories coming in and where they take place.

    I’ve yet to do a timeline for Lucie Miller and Grace Holloway which I hope I’ll get onto soon.

    Thanks again, Floyd. Glad you’ve enjoyed my timelines.

    Tim. 🙂

        You are the best that’s why. The Timelines of Tardis WIki are hard to follow and get things wrong a lot of the time.

      Hi Floyd.

      According to eyespider, they’ve placed ‘Flashpoint’ between ‘The Skull of Sobek’ and ‘Grand Theft Cosmos’.

      I’ll place the story there accordingly for now.

      Thanks

      Tim. 🙂

    Just here to ask where the Stranded series is amongst all this. Wiki says it follows the events of Ravenous, though I came here to be certain and I couldn’t find it at all!

    Hope you’re doing well, especially with the world in turmoil at this time!

    Kind regards,
    Cresswell

      Hi Cresswell.

      Nice to hear from you again.

      I’ve added the ‘Stranded’ series to the Eighth Doctor, Liv and Helen’s timelines. I don’t usually add ‘Doctor Who’ stories to timelines before they’re released. The first ‘Stranded’ volume is meant to come out in July this year, I believe. But for the sake of argument, they’re now added to the timelines I mentioned. I’ll updated the titles of the ‘Stranded’ stories when more information comes via Big Finish.

      Yeah I’m doing fine thanks. Keeping busy with my blog. Looking forward to my birthday at the end of this week. Hope you’re doing well too. Keep safe and healthy.

      Best wishes

      Tim. 🙂

        Hello Tim,

        Oh I see! I had only recently purchased the bundle —evidently in advance— thinking them released. I imagine it must be the same with Time War 4 then; these being stories I’ve bought but not found in the BF App 😅 Thank you for shedding light there!

        I wish you a very happy birthday for then! A shame things haven’t cleared up beforehand, but I hope you have an excellent day of it!
        I have found myself with a lot more time to listen to Audiostories, so I’m doing mighty fine!

        Nice talking to you, as always.

        Kind regards,
        Cresswell 🙂

      Hi Travis.

      Nice to hear from you again.

      I don’t know where ‘He Kills Me, He Kills Not’ takes place. I’ve not had a chance to listen to it yet. I’m holding back on the ‘Time Lord Victorious’ stories at present as there are quite a lot of them and I would like to know where the whole series takes place. At present, I imagine the Eighth Doctor audios by Big Finish in ‘TLV’ take place during the Time War. Have to wait to be sure. Will come back to this again at a future date.

      Thanks,

      Tim. 🙂

    Any word on the TLV timeline?

    I’ve been using this site’s timeline for a year and and half, about mid 8 now (dark eyes). Would love to be able to listen to TLV while I’m here!

    Happy new year!

      Hi Nick.

      I’ve been waiting for all the ‘Time Lord Victorious’ stories to come out since there are so many of them. I’m planning on getting to hear/read/view them sometime soon in 2021. Hopefully they’ll be added to the various timelines connected to certain Doctors in ‘TLV’ soon.

      Happy New Year to you too.

      Tim. 🙂

        Roger that! I saw your reply from Oct 20th, and was more seeing if you’ve put any other thought into it.

        Like I said, I’m mid 8 now, but if I manage to finish listen/watch run though before you get a chance to listen to the TLV stuff, I’ll try to send you my thoughts on it?

        Hope you enjoyed last night’s episode!

        Cheers!

        Hi Nick.

        I have recently added some ‘Time Lord Victorious’ stories to the timelines of the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Doctors. Hopefully I’ll clarify their placements once I get to read/hear/view them.

        Yes, I did enjoy yesterday’s episode. I’ll be sharing a review on it soon.

        Tim. 🙂

    Hi Tim,

    You used to have a system that numbered each entry like this:

    3. The Eighth Doctor with Samantha and Fitz

    26. Doctor Who and the Taint (Book) – EDA*
    27. Demontage (Book) – EDA*
    28. Revolution Man (Book) – EDA*
    29. Dominion (Book) – EDA*
    30. Unnatural History (Book) – EDA*
    31. Autumn Mist (Book) – EDA*
    32. Inference – Book One (Book) – EDA*
    33. Inference – Book Two (Book) – EDA*

    I loved that system as it really helped with keeping all my folders in order.

    Is there a way as a user to make this reappear? 🙂

    Love your work.

      Hi Floyd,

      I’m glad you liked the previous numbering system for the timelines. If it’s all the same to you, I’d rather not go back to that as I’d prefer to stick with bullet-pointing the stories rather than numbering them. One of the problems with the numbering system was changing the numbers in the stories’ listing manually and very often the numberings weren’t always correct. Doing the bullet-pointing for the stories makes it easier for me to navigate and it saves a lot of time when adding a new story to the list.

      Very pleased you continue to enjoy using my timelines.

      Tim. 🙂

      Another issue is that I can’t format the numbering when in numbering mode – meaning, I can’t change the numbers to 2 or 3 instead of 1. It doesn’t work like that in the numbering option as far as I know when using WordPress. It works when I number the stories manually but it’s very time-consuming and I’d rather bullet-point the stories to save time rather than having to change the numbers manually.

      Tim. 🙂

    Great resource thank you. I am interested in your placement of the TLV audios for #8 as I don’t recall any time war references in them (at least from #8’s perspective). In my head they’re among his final adventures as the war begins, whereas the CDNM plays explicitly take place during the war.

      Hi Matthew,

      Glad you’re enjoying the Eighth Doctor’s timeline. I believe the placement of the ‘TLV’ stories was based when they came out in terms of release order. I was also taking ‘The Night of the Doctor’ costume the Eighth Doctor wore into account. I can see your reasoning though. I’ll rearrange the stories so they can match with what Eyespider’s got and have the TLV stories set earlier rather than later.

      Many thanks,

      Tim 🙂

        Thanks! I didn’t mean it as a criticism by the way, just wasn’t sure if I’d missed a reference! I think he is also wearing a blue version of his time war costume (same colours as the DWM version of the TVM costume) so in my mind it’s meant to be a bit separate from the Time War albeit much closer to his end than his beginning

        No worries, Matthew.

        I appreciate your feedback. It helps me to rethink the initial placements I made for certain stories in each of my ‘Doctor Who’ timelines.

        Best wishes,

        Tim 🙂

    Hi, this list is great and so so helpful! I often come back here to decide which eighth doctor content to get into next 🙂 I just had a couple of questions.

    Firstly, I’ve noticed that both DS Al Fine and You Had Me at Verify Username and Password appear twice on this timeline and I was wondering if there was a reason for that or if it was a mistake?

    Secondly I just wanted to ask if you know of somewhere I can watch more obscure content – namely Scream of the Shalka and Season 26b – as I’ve been looking for them for ages with little luck!

    Thanks so much 🙂

      Hi Tristan,

      Glad you find my Eighth Doctor timeline useful. I’m in the process of updating it as well as Liv, Helen and Tania’s timelines concerning the ‘Doom Coalition’, ‘Ravenous’ and ‘Stranded’ box sets, which is a slow work at the moment. 😀

      I don’t know why I got those two Short Trip stories featured twice in the timeline. That was probably a mistake. I’ve removed the duplicates and kept in one of each those two titles. ‘Scream of the Shalka’ is available on DVD, which you can purchase on Amazon – https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Scream-Shalka-DVD/dp/B00DP26RPM. I haven’t seen Season 26b yet, but you can find some of the stories on DailyMotion via this link here if that helps – https://www.dailymotion.com/Steeviii

      Many thanks for your comments.

      Tim 🙂

        Hi Tim,

        Thanks for getting back to me, I really appreciate it 🙂 That’s extremely helpful, thank you so much.

        I’m also excited to start on eight’s graphic novels as this has been a great guide as to where I should start! Although I’ve been having trouble finding a copy of Endgame that’s not upwards of £100 – hopefully I’ll be able to find it soon for a more reasonable price at some point 🙂

        Thanks again,

        Tristan
