Just a little question … you have “Catch A Falling Star” listed as Twelve’s Story but it’s a Ten story in the 2018 FCBD or is there another “Catch A Falling Star” that I don’t know of. Thanks for putting together an awesome compilation.

Hi Daniel.
Thanks for dropping a line.
You are right of course. I’ve checked the tardis.wiki page for it and ‘Catch a Falling Star’ is listed as a Ten story rather than a Twelve story. I don’t know how I made that mistake there.
Apparently according to tardis.wiki, the story is part of the ‘Doctor Who: Tenth Doctor’ comic series, but Ten only appeared in flashbacks. So I suppose it would’ve been easy for me to mistake it as a Twelve story instead of a Ten story.
Thanks for pointing this out. Glad you enjoyed the timeline.
Tim. 🙂

I think The Instruments of War is set too early, there’s a reference to Clara carrying the Doctor in her handbag “last week”, which makes me think it’s set not long after Flatline. Other than that though, excellent timeline!

Hi Indra,
I see that the ‘Missy’ Titan comics form a four-part story called ‘The Master Plan’. I hope to add this to the Master/Missy timeline, the Twelfth Doctor’s timeline and all relevant timelines as soon as possible.
Many thanks,
Tim 🙂
