      Hi Travis.

      I don’t usually add upcoming releases of Big Finish audios of ‘Doctor Who’ before they’re released because I don’t know at what point they’re supposed to be placed, unless the Doctor in question happens to be with a certain companion.

      With ‘The Lure of the Nomad’, ‘Iron Bright’ and ‘The Hour of the Cybermen’, the Sixth Doctor seems to be alone, so I don’t have much to go on here as to where these stories take place in his timeline. The same goes for ‘Jago & Litefoot Forever’ as that can happen anywhere in the Sixth Doctor’s timeline.

      For now, I’ve given these stories temporary placements in the Sixth Doctor’s timeline. The same goes for ‘The Darkened Earth’ with Constance Clarke. I’ve also added these stories to Jago & Litefoot’s timeline, Leela’s timeline and Constance’s timeline respectively.

      Hope this helps. Glad you enjoy using my timelines.

      Tim. 🙂

    Hello, thanks for your hard work. Do you by any chance know where the audio drama Diary of River Song might fit in? In “World and Time Enough” with River he’s in his blue suit and black necktie, but in “The Eye of the Storm” with both River and Seven he’s back in his patchwork quilt.

      Hi Lainey

      Apologies for my late reply.

      I placed the two Sixth Doctor audios from ‘The Diary of River Song’ at the end of ‘The Sixth Doctor Alone (2)’ section, directly after ‘Judoon In Chains’.

      Hope this helps.

      Tim. 🙂

        No worries, thank you for replying. I had just gotten into Big Finish with “Urgent Calls” and I’m happy to hear that those other stories are in the same section. 🙂

      I’m so glad to see another person that discovered their love for big finish due to the Masterpiece that is Urgent Calls. Honestly, I think it is one of the most underrated stories in the big finish line up. This story was one of the first 6th Doctor stories I ever listened to, and was the one that got me to fall in love with the 6th doctor, when I was even Seasons behind him while catching up on Classic Who. And, not to mention, this was back when I still thought he was supposed to be a terrible person. Of course, I heard rumblings that he was better over at Big finish, but was never really interested in that expanded media. And then, I found Urgent Calls on SoundCloud, and instantly fell in love with him, and Insulin begin to question why you were so hated. You seem like the most kind and charming doctor of all of them. Which, was especially proven once I began to listen to more of his stories once I caught up to him. It’s one of the main reasons I’m binging every episode of his versus any other doctor. Even now, after listening to almost all of his audios, Urgent Calls is still probably my favorite, for the sixth doctor, and for big finish in general. Just behind 1963: A Space Race, of course.

    Hey, Bradley! I have a question. So, I have been binging the 6th doctor for the past year or so now, based on this timeline you have made. So far it has worked out tremendously! Better-than-expected, in fact! Currently, I am in the Charlie era, and I’ve reached The Red House from The Last Adventure box set. I’ve noticed that further into the timeline, The Last Adventure stories have been sort of scattered with the next one being the second to last episode in the set, but next on the timeline, and such. I was wondering if this was safe? For the past year I have been trying my damnedest to NOT get the 6th doctor’s regeneration spoiled for me. I want his cause of death, and the events leading up to it to be a complete and utter surprise for me. So far, I have done a really harrowing job through this, but thankfully I have managed it. If I listen to The Last Adventure stories throughout the timeline, in their respected order, with the brink of death being the end of everything for me, do I have to worry about anything getting spoiled for me? Like, how Stage Fright, the second-to-last in the box set, is next in the timeline, yet, nowhere near the end of the timeline. Do I have to worry about it spoiling anything about his regeneration to me, too early? Thank you and I can’t wait to see your reply! 🙂

      Hi Mikhael.

      Thanks for your message.

      Yeah this is a tricky one, isn’t it? I would’ve preferred the four stories in ‘The Last Adventure’ to be in chronological order in the Sixth Doctor’s timeline. But the timeline I’ve created for Sixy seems to have them scattered with ‘The Red House’ first; then ‘Stage Fright’; then ‘The End of the Line’; then ‘The Brink of Death’ rather than the order Big Finish have put them them. The eyespider timeline for Sixy seems to have done the same as I have.

      I don’t want to give too much way in terms of spoilers. But as I discovered from listening to ‘The Last Adventure’, the order Big Finish have put these four stories in seems to be taken from the Valeyard’s perspective rather than the Sixth Doctor’s. Again, I’d rather have it from Sixy’s perspective instead of the Valeyard’s. But that’s how Big Finish have constructed this four-part adventure.

      In terms of listening to this adventure, I don’t think there’s a reason to not listen to it out of order in the way it seems to be in Sixy’s timeline. Mind you, it’s been a while since I last heard it. If you want to avoid spoilers, I’d suggest saving ‘The Last Adventure’ for the very end of the listening order with Sixy. You can listen to it again in Sixy’s order should you do another Sixth Doctor binge experience again. But again it’s your choice. Do it however you want. If you want to know more on my thoughts of ‘The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure’, click the link for my review on the adventure on my timeline

      Very pleased you’ve been using my Sixth Doctor’s timeline to help you enjoy Sixy’s stories from beginning to end. Sounds like a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy the rest of Sixy’s journey in the stories you go through.

      I hope my suggestions have helped you.

      Many thanks.

      Tim. 🙂

    Hi,

    Was just wondering if you have any idea when The Sixth Doctor and Peri Volume 1 adventures place in the overall timeline? I’m hoping it’s after Peri’s return to the TARDIS in The Widow’s Assassin and it’s following audios, but a part of me reckons it’ll end up being set after Blood on Santa’s Claw.

      Hi Connor.

      I believe these stories are meant to take place post-‘Trial of a Time Lord’. So that means after ‘The Widow’s Assassin’. I’ll investigate further and add the stories to the Sixth Doctor and Peri’s timelines later on today.

      Tim. 🙂

      Hi Chaz,

      I’ve added the stories featuring the Sixth Doctor, Mel and Hebe included in ‘Water Worlds’ to the Sixth Doctor and Mel’s timelines.

    I know it just came out recently but was wondering where the big finish “Trials of a timelord” would be. I haven’t listened yet and wanted to place it in my own notes before tackling it. I was assuming it was at the end of his life or near trial of a timelord (TV) but I could be wrong. Thanks 🙂

      Hi Connor,

      I’ve added placements for ‘The Quin Dilemma’ on the Sixth Doctor, Peri, Mel, Constance, Flip and the Sontarans’ timelines. And I’ve added temporary placements for ‘The Trials of a Time Lord’ on the Sixth Doctor, Peri, Mel, Davros, the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Master’s timelines.

      Thanks,

      Tim 🙂

    Hallo, Tim,

    I can shed some light on the Find Your Fate books placed not long before The Shape-Shifter. They’re a mix of stories featuring the Doctor on his own, and the Doctor accompanied by Peri and others.

    =

    Search For The Doctor (Book) – FYF*

    The Doctor is travelling solo, but he does reach out to the High Council of the Time Lords. Indicating a friendlier relationship than, perhaps, we’d see post-Trial of a Time Lord.

    The pseudo-companion, the reader, for this story is named Dinah. Sarah Jane Smith was a family friend of theirs and liked the family enough to gift K9 to them. It’s implied that Dinah is returned to 2056 at the end of the novella.

    Crisis in Space (Book) – FYF*

    The oddest of the bunch. The Doctor is travelling with Chris (the reader), Peri and Turlough. There’s no explanation for Turlough’s presence as part of the crew. Only that he and the dreaded Garth Hadeez, the novel’s villain, have crossed swords before.

    Chris is already known to the Doctor and Peri, which implies that they’ve come from another adventure. They’re invited aboard the TARDIS for what feels like a one-off trip.

    The Garden of Evil (Book) – FYF*

    The Doctor is on his own and, it’s implied, acting on behalf of the High Council. The Time Lords decide to bring in refugees to Gallifrey from a galactic famine. Quite a radical idea for them.

    In retrospect, it sounds like one of President Romana’s initiatives. She does open up the Academy to non-Gallifreyans in the Gallifrey series. It’s probably post-The Apocalypse Element.

    One of the pseudo-companions is nicknamed Wings, an initiate of the Academy, taken from Earth (who scores higher than the Doctor does). They’re returned to their family at the story’s conclusion

    Mission to Venus (Book) – FYF*

    It’s the Doctor, Peri and an unknown companion, this time. We have no introduction to this companion. Other than it seems they also come from Earth.

    Invasion of the Ormazoids (Book) – FYF*

    Another standalone story. We get an introduction to the companion, this time. They get caught in one of the Doctor’s efforts to repel an invasion to Earth from the Ormazoids (naturally). A young man picked up and put back at the end of the adventure.

    The Doctor visits the planet Tokl, which is later mentioned in Mindwarp.

    Race Against Time (Book) – FYF*

    We’re back with the Doctor, Peri and another reader companion. Again, we get another introduction. This time, they are caught in the same time trap as the TARDIS.

    They’re pulled along on the adventure to Pyro Shika to avoid being frozen on Earth like everyone else. There is an implication, however, that the companion don’t necessarily go straight back home.

    The Doctor later mentions Pyro Shika to Mel in Terror of the Vervoids.

    =

    If I were take a guess at what chronology fits the best, I’d go with:

    With Peri (and others)

    Race Against Time (Pre-Trial)

    Mission to Venus (Pre-Trial)

    Crisis in Space (Pre-Trial)

    Alone

    Search for the Doctor (Pre-Trial)

    Invasion of the Ormazoids (Pre-Trial?)

    The Garden of Evil (Post-Trial)

      Hi Wolfie,

      Many thanks for your help and insight regarding the ‘Find Your Fate’ books featuring the Sixth Doctor. I’ve updated the Sixth Doctor and Peri’s timelines accordingly. I’ve found out that I didn’t include ‘Mission to Venus’ on Peri’s timeline, so it’s there now. And I’ve doube-checked that ‘Crisis In Space’ is there for Turlough’s timeline.

      Best wishes,

      Tim 🙂

        Hi Lewis,

        Thanks for letting me know about ‘The Flight of the Sun God’. I’ll add it to the Sixth Doctor and Peri’s timelines respectively.

        Best wishes,

        Tim 🙂
