    I noticed Scratchman has been placed after Harry had left the TARDIS crew. But it must come before Terror of the Zygons, Harry’s last adventure in the TARDIS.

        I’ve read/heard ‘Scratchman’ and actually it takes place after ‘Terror of the Zygons’ and ‘The Android Invasion’. It mentions the Doctor, Sarah Jane and Harry having done those two stories. Eyespider says the same thing too as well as The Divergent Universe forum.

      Hi Dakota.

      I think you mean ‘Shadow of the Sun’. ‘Prisoner of the Sun’ is an Eighth Doctor audio.

      I’ve placed ‘Shadow of the Sun’ in-between ‘Underworld’ and ‘The Invasion of Time’ for the Fourth Doctor, Leela and K-9’s timelines.

      Many thanks.

      Tim. 🙂

    I’m interested to know why you have the stories featuring the Fourth Doctor, Ann, and K9 in the order you have them listed. You have them in the following order: The Sinistran Kills, The Enchantress of Numbers, Planet of the Drashigs, The False Guardian/Time’s Assassin, Fever Island, The Perfect Prisoners.

    According to the Big Finish website and also the Tardis Fandom website, “Planet of the Drashigs” is set “immediately after The Sinistran Kill”. These two are followed by “The Enchantress of Numbers”.

    Is there a reason why you have “The Enchantress of Numbers” as the second story in this set or is this a mistake here?

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts,

    Matt

      Hi Matthew.

      Thanks for your message.

      That was a mistake. Apologies for that. I’ve reset the stories in the order they should be in with ‘Planet of the Drashigs’ in-between ‘The Sinistran Kill’ and ‘The Enchantress of Numbers’.

      Again, apologies for the confusion. I’ve not heard ‘The Syndicate’s Master Plan’ audios yet, though with the upcoming ‘Dalek Universe’ audios on the way, that’s likely to change and I might hear them sooner than later.

      Many thanks,

      Tim. 🙂

    I noticed that you had the volume 10 stories set during Season 15 with K-9. However, in the official Big Finish press release, it says, “Producer David Richardson said: “We’re going back to that gap between Seasons 14 and 15: back to the wooden console room, back to the Fourth Doctor and his eager-to-learn savage companion.”” Thought I would point this out. Love your timelines. They’re the ones I use to order my collection. Keep up the amazing work!

      Hi Raymond.

      Thanks for letting me know this. Usually I wait after a story(s) has come out to put in an actual placement for it in the timeline or I would put in a temporary placement until the time comes to actually confirm if its placement is valid. I’ve repositioned the FDA Series 10 audio stories accordingly and have updated the Fourth Doctor and Leela’s timelines.

      Many thanks. Glad you continue to enjoy using my ‘Doctor Who’ timelines.

      Tim. 🙂

    This list was a godsend when I finally got around to binging the audio dramas.

    One nitpick — you seem to have the ninth series of audio dramas (“Purgatory 12” through “The Quest of the Engineer”) mislabeled as BFAB instead of BFAD. Slightly confusing, but I figured it out.

    All in all a masterful work of continuity, thanks so much for assembling this.

      Hi Mortimus.

      Very pleased you like how I’ve done the Fourth Doctor’s timeline. Thank you for your kind words.

      Apologies for the oversight. Thanks for pointing it out. I’ve amended the Series 9 stories as BFAD instead of BFAB for the Fourth Doctor, Romana, Adric, K-9 and the E-Space timelines accordingly.

      Many thanks and kind regards,

      Tim. 🙂

    I really enjoy your work and I have combined your timeline with Eyespider’s … but I don’t understand what Knitworld: A Fourth Doctor story set in the Missing Companion Series set somewhere between the Third and Fifth Doctors’ (PT2) is … what is PT2? I have Googled this and other titles and can’t find anything.
    Thanks in advance!

      Hi Regenade Time Lord.

      Glad you’re enjoying my ‘Doctor Who’ timelines. The (PT) and (PT2) abbreivations are references to the ‘Perfect Timing’ and ‘Perfect Timing’ anthology, which Joel mentioned in his comment on the First Doctor’s timeline. Apologies for not making that clearer. I’ll amend the timelines with the (PT) and (PT2) anthology stories on them later on.

      Hope this helps.

      Tim 🙂

    Blood of the Time Lords seems to pick up almost immediately after The Deadly Assassin, so I would put it just after Out of Time. He’s also wearing his costume from The Deadly Assassin on the cover of that and The Ravencliff Witch.

      Hi MeddlingMonk,

      Thanks for sharing this with me. I’ll place the ‘Solo’ stories after ‘The Deadly Assassin’ and ‘Out of Time’ like you suggest.

    Hello

    I have noticed that the short story ‘Anything You Can Do’ from the book ‘Twelve Angels Weeping’ is not on the timeline and I was wondering if it was a story you could maybe add to the timeline?

    Hope you have a good day.

    Kind Regards
    Lloyd
