      Hi Floyd.

      I’m afraid I don’t have Patreon or Paypal. I don’t know where to start looking for it. If you point me in the right direction, I hope to consider using it.

      Tim. 🙂

    It was easiest to spot here -I’ve been running through your Doctor Timelines over a couple of days; you seem to be missing at least some stories from the BBC Audiobook “Twelve Angels Weeping”, a collection of 12 stories themed around particular monsters. Not all include a Doctor, but for instance in “The Third Wise Man” I’m fairly confident it is the War Doctor featured.

    SPOILERS AHEAD

    I figure as much, if not for Nicholas Briggs voice-mimicry, as it is situated in the Time War and explains the phenomenon “The Nightmare Child” as referenced by the 10th Doctor in The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End. I can discount the 08th Doctor as it is also seen that the Doctor has already built up a particular reputation with the Timelords whom also feature.

    NO MORE SPOILERS

    Furthermore, across these listing, I see the abbreviation ST. I am not quite sure what it stands for, but I have narrowed it down to either Big Finish’s or your own Short Trips. Which is it, so that I am able to clarify in my own notes.

    Kind regards,
    Matthew

      Hi Matthew.

      Apologies for the slow reply. I’ve been sorting out the ‘Twelve Angels Weeping’ anthology stories and putting them into various timelines as best as I can. I’ve included ‘The Third Wise Man’ into the War Doctor’s timeline. Thanks for your insight and suggestions on this matter.

      ST stands for the Big Finish or BBC Short Trips in the official ‘Doctor Who’ cannon. I don’t include my own Short Trips in my timelines at present as they’re unofficial on my blog.

      Many thanks

      Tim. 🙂

    Hi Tim,

    Just wondering about the placement of the third series of War doctor begins – battlegrounds. I know it’s probably directly after series 2 but just wanted to check

    Thanks
