#doctor who chronology

[carbohydratechild]

how to watch the 2005 reboot of doctor who in the correct order (more or less)

i couldn't find a good enough list for my friend, so i made my own using everything i could find! i put all of the sources i used at the end of the doc.

many articles skip certain mini-episodes and specials. lists that show up on google can be intimidating and confusing, or lackluster, so i tried to make it comprehensive and pretty!

i also took the time to find the best links for everything not on bbc iplayer!

it could save beginner viewers so much frustration and ensure that they actually get to see these wonderful mini-episodes!

i didn't include classic who or anything outside the realm of official/official-adjacent video because i'm not really qualified to and it's outside the scope of this particular list.

some of the decisions for the order and for what was included/excluded are my own informed opinions, but feel free to disagree and i'll change things if i'm convinced! it's not technically chronological or even perfectly by release, but that goes out the window with a time travel show on this scale! this is the order that makes the most sense. also, i didn't add the release years of things because it would've been too confusing with the sheer amount of stuff.

please feel free to take full use of it and spread it around as much as you want! i think it's SO GOOD and i had to share it with the world!

I sometimes think its weird that everyone must have a 'favourite doctor'. I get the appeal, but how its so wide spread baffles me.

Theyre all one person, in the end, with each regeneration being all that came before and more, and a little different due to the experiences they had and the people theyve met, just how I am different from when I was 15 years old, but still the same.

I have a favourite doctor for conveniency reasons, mostly, 12- but even then, whats a 'favourite doctor'. My favourite performance? My favourite to have a fun time with? My favourite to make me aspire to be better? My favourite to laugh, my favourite to cry for? Theyre all different. I love 12 as much as I love 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. Maybe I have incarnations I dont feel as strongly for, but thats usually out of unfamiliarity with all they went through and by such an inability to truly grasp who the doctor was when they wore that face (e.g. my only experience with 8 being the tv movie) or because they amplify parts of the doctor Im less fond of (e.g. six being a little mean).

But in the end, theyre all of it anyway? All of the Doctor is mean, whether its the first doctor or the sixth or the tenth, all doctors are kind, whether its the second or fourth or 12th or 14th, all of the doctor has experienced grief, all of them is strong willed, brave, afraid.

I like the idea of having a 'favourite'. To me its a little like your favourite actors role, I love david tennants hamlet more than I like his alec hardy, but I still love his acting, period.

But this obsession of needing a favourite doctor, of needing to love one part of this beautiful, incredible character more than others, often it feels unfair to who they are. This grand person being reduced to a few years of their endlessly long life. To a single face.

Maybe that's what feels so real about thoschei. Companions tend to get attached to a face. To this one part. To the master the current doctor's body is secondary.

"Doesn't matter which face he was wearing, they're all the Doctor to me."

And they are, in fact, all the Doctor.

okay, last poll unless I forgot something. While for almost all of Gallifrey, release and chronological order are the same, the Short Trips collection from last November chronologically fits all over the Gallifrey timeline, giving us two options for listening. Option 1 is to do the whole set after War Room 2, when it was released. Option 2 is to put them into their chronological places, which are:

Damned if You Do in Series 2, between Pandora and Insurgency

The Questing Beast in Series 4, between Disassembled and Annihilation

In Search of Lost Time in Time War 1, between Soldier Obscura and The Devil You Know

Damned if You Don't after War Room 2, so it'd be the last story in this relisten after Ambition's Debt

Must a Doctor Who episode make sense? Isn't it enough for it to be camp AF and kind of hit you over the head with a political message of "we should be nice to one another"?

What order to listen to the 8th Doctor Big Finish Audio Drama

So I've seen lots of people asking what order to listen to the 8th Doctor audio dramas produced by Big Finish. There are some really good listening guides out there, but they're out of date.

So I present to you the 2024 8th Doctor Episode Chronology!

If you love the 8th Doctor or want to explore his stories but have no idea where to start, this is the list for you!

This is a living document. I haven't listened to everything yet, so some bits may need editing. It follows 8's personal timeline from his travels with Charley Pollard to his experiences in the Time War.

Comments are welcome and please share this link around :D

Earthshock had me yelling "No!" at the screen despite already knowing the ending and that's how you know it's good.

Tears in my eyes as I admit that I really like Timelash and I would have given it a 9/10 if Peri wasn’t treated quite awfully for the second part of the episode (it’s a 7/10 but I consider this high since I’m not super into Classic tbh)

@dhabibi sent: ❛   i don’t want to let go. i’m not ready to say goodbye yet.  ❜  (ratio, 'what a plot twist you were' verse)

They stand close, not hugging, but holding on to each other, both their body language making it clear that neither wants to let go, neither wants to step away. Veritas has never been one to lament goodbyes; he's rarely met someone he was sad to part with, and usually, there's been a certainty they'll meet again one day or another.

This time is different. This time he doesn’t want to leave Kakavasha, actively wishes he didn't have to, and if he had any other choice he wouldn’t. And though he may hope, he doesn’t know if they’ll ever see each other again after this moment. He’d like to promise otherwise - for both their sakes - but he can’t, not in good conscience. They might not get another chance for a long time.

Or at all.

He's trapped between wanting to find a different way and knowing that this is the best thing they can do to keep the IPC off of Kakavasha's trail. If he stayed with him, the IPC would stop at nothing, and before long they’d find out what became of Aventurine. --And if he doesn’t make sure he’s safe, then what was all of this for?

"I won’t be more ready to let you go in a day or a year or a decade from now," Veritas admits. "It is out of our hands." They’ve talked about this at length, debated heatedly, searching for another way. But in the end, they agreed (both reluctantly) that separating is the only real option. He knows Kakavasha isn’t going back on their decision or having doubts, not really - not more than the very human doubt that he, too, feels in his heart when faced with the inevitable - he's simply more direct in expressing how he feels, just like he's always been.

Ratio leans in, presses a kiss to his forehead, then finally wraps his arms around him, fully aware that the others are watching. Some politely turn away, offering what little privacy they can, but it doesn’t matter either way. He's not embarrassed; if anything, he predicts this moment underlines to everyone present just how much Kakavasha means to him, how much he wants him to be out of the IPC’s reach. ---Even if that is several worlds away from, at the far end of the cosmos.

"We will see each other again." Someday, somehow, somewhere, they will make it work. Or they will live out their lives holding on to that hope.
