The new Doctor (Peter Davison)
840-842
(3-4 years before Caves of Androzanie)
Castrovalva: The Doctor regenerates for the fourth time. He wears spectacles
because he claims he is short sighted in his right eye but infact he thinks
they make him look clever. He is allergic to certain gases in the Praxsis
range of the spectrum
and occationally suffers from a bad back.
He views celery as a sign of civilization and takes to wearing a piece to
alert him to gases in the Praxis range.
By this point the fifth doctor has forgotten large chunks of his life from
before his first regeneration and is never entirely certain about his life
during previous incarnations. Those who know the Doctor's future claim that
this in one of his early coporeal incarnations
(strongly implying that he has many more incarnations that some of
them will be non-coporeal).
The Master seems to be growing more and more insane since he acquired his
lastest body. The Doctor shows no regret or sadness of the apparent death of
the Master.
He gives up drinking for Cricket.He begins carrying a cricket ball that is
specially adapted, vacuum-resistant and propulsion-powered.

840-842
(3 days after the Doctor regenerates)
Cold Fusion: The Doctor meets his future self on Salomon. They also
discover Patience. She regenerates for the first time. By this point the
Doctor has forgetten if he ever had sex and in fact can't remember much of
his life before his second regeneration.
840-842?
(5th doc)The Doctor looses his spare
Mark 2
Sonic Screwdriver under the TARDIS console.
840-842
(no more then a few weeks before Time Flight)
Kinda: The Doctor seems quite fond (and even slightly awkward) around
Todd.
840-842
(centuries before Alien Bodies)
The Visitation: the
Mark One
Sonic Screwdriver is destroyed.
840-842
The Doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adric celebrate Christmas with Iris in her
bus/TARDIS.
840-842
Divided Loyalties: the Doctor's friend the Time Lord Rallon dies at the
end of his 13th regeneration.
840-842
Earthshock: The Doctor doesn't hesitate to use weapons against the Cybermen.
For the first time
one of the Doctor's long time traveling companions is killed. The Doctor's
reaction to Adric's death appears to be bewilderment and disbelief.
Adric's death causes the Doctor to make some major re-evaluations of how
he lives his life. He stops seeing his travels as a great adventure.
840-842
Time-Flight: The dynomorphic generators on the Master's TARDIS need
replacement.
?
The Master aquires the
block transfer
robot Kamelion on the planet Xeriphas.
Kamelion might be able to radicaly control his own reality
quotient, which would make him very effective at altering
history.
He uses Kamelion on a number of different worlds.
841-843
The Doctor travels with Nyssa for some time.
Probably 2 years from Tegan's point of veiw.
Its possible that during their travels the Doctor took a 2 year
side trip. This could explain the age of the Doctor in Ultimate
Treasure.
841-843
(after Timeflight / before Primeval)
Empire of Death: By this point the Doctor has a walnut
paneledroom in his TARDIS known as theplace of remembrance. This is
where he keeps momentoes of his former companions. Susan's momento is a
copy of The French Revolution.
840-842
(a few weeks after Kinda)
Primeval: The Doctor visits Traken in the distant past. He becomes the
first Keeper of Traken (but only for a short time). The Kwundaar "marks" the
Doctor. This allows higher powers to track his movements. The Doctor could
build his own Source Manipulator but it would take him a century.
The Master is apparently unable to complete such a task.
840-842
(shortly before Circular Time)
Prydonian Cardinal Zero is one of the Council of the Great Mother and a
specialist in the politics of regeneration. Zero is well on his way to
achiving a seat on the High Council when he leaves Gallifrey to live on a
planet inhabited by sentient bird creatures. He disguises his TARDIS as
lake. Temporal projectionists on Gallifrey discover that Zero will vastly
accellerate the creatures' technological development.
840-842
(While traveling with just Nyssa)
Circular Time: The Time Lords send the Doctor to convince former Time Lord
Cardinal Zero not to damage the timestream and return to Gallifrey. Zero
tricks the Doctor manipulates the Doctor into forcing him to regenerate into
the avian people's messiah. The Doctor is forced to flee with his mission
incomplete. By this point everyone on Gallifrey knows that the Doctor is
used by the High Council for various missions. He is seen by some as their
token reble.
850~ (probably during Circular Time)
Tides of Time: Melanicus gains control of theEvent Synthesizer and
fires a mantric bomb at Gallifrey.The Doctor prevents Melanicus from keeping
control of the Event Synthesizer. The Prime Mover uses the Event Synthesizer
to prevent this story from ever happening. By this point the Doctor is
planning to retire back to Gallifrey someday (in the distant
future).
Whedol Ertikus (who is researching Omega actions in Amsterdam) accidently
takes him to Alkonol where he meets and falls in love with Sentia. Because
of the stolen biodata Omega is sharing his body with a replica of the
Doctor's conciousness.
Leela and Andred are still alive and doing well at this point.
843~
(while traveling with Tegan and Nyssa)
Blood Invocation: The Doctor is summoned to Gallifrey to track down
the followers of the the Cult of Rassilon the Vampire. A vampire Time Lords
is destroyed by sunlight.
843~
(pushing 900/ Right after Arc of Infinity)
Omega: Omega returns to the universe of anti-matter. By this point the
Doctor has already sent several messages to himself (probably breaking the
Laws of Time). The Doctor meets the Celestial Preseveration Society from his
own future. She's trying to prevent enemies of the Time Lords from learning
that the Doctor destroyed the Sentillons.They take the actor Daland to the
interactive museaum in the center of the Capitol to play the Doctor.
843~
(between Snakedance and Mawdryn Undead)
Goth Opera: The Doctor defeats the Vampire Messiah.
??
(Probably after
Separation Anzxiety/
Before Synthespians / after Sirens of Time)
Sevansellostophossius (aka Vansell) become Coordinator and First Speaker
of the CIA.
843~
(At least 2+5 years before Planet of Fire)
Mawdryn Undead:
The Black Gaurdian tracks the Doctor down due to Kwundaar's marking
of him.
He enlists Turlough to kill the Doctor. The Black Guardian gives him
acommunications crystal. Mawdryn and his fellow Kastrons finally die to the
shorting out the time differential of the two Brigandiers.
843~
(2 years after Logopolis from Nyssa POV / 3482 AD)
Terminus : The Doctor discovers that the Terminus timestation is responsible
for creating the entire Universe.
Just like in the previous Universe
one of the Guardians (in this case the Black Guardian) tries to destroy this
Universe by creating an instability in one of the timestation's reactors.
Fortunately the Doctor is on hand to stop it.
843~
Enlightenment:
The gift of enlightenment is made of the same crystal as the Key to
Time, the Crystal of Chronos and the guardian communicators.
844~
The Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough celebrate Christmas with Iris.

(6200 AD / 3 years after Logopolis from Tegan POV)
The Crystal Bucephalus (Part 1): the Doctor is stranded on the planet
Pella Satyrnis.
848-893~
(IIRC 3 years before Synthespians[TM] from Matheson's POV)
The Nestene Consciousness develops a form of time travel that uses
super-heated plumes from the substrate within the vortex. This causes major
disruptions in the Vortex and the CIA begins using Type 70 Military TARDISes
to blockade the Nestene Consciousness' homeworld, Polymos.Type 70s are very
well designed (with more capabilites, better telepathic circuits than the
Type 40 and weapons) and are still considered "new" at this point.The
Nestene's begin to die.
849~
(right before The Five Doctors)
Borusa comes to belive that he is the Time Lord from the prophecy
who will find the Scrolls of Rassilon and lead his people out of
darkness.
Borusa regenerates again
(possibly because of his investigations into the secrets of the Old
Time.)
849~
(right before The Five Doctors)
Coordinator of the Matrix Jelpax locates several objects from the Dark
Time for Borusa. Probably including the Harp of Rassilon.
849~
(6205 AD)

restaurant Tempus Fugit for 5 years. The TARDIS Control Room is
destroyed.

849~
(possibly 150 years before Flavia's re-inaguration in Blood
Harvest)
The Five Doctors: The Master is asked to rescue the Doctor in return for a
new cycle of regenerations. The Doctor meets versions of his previous selves
who appear older then they should be.
The Doctor later decides that they were ghosts,
but it was probably more likely that the shorting out of the time
differential caused the ageing.
Borusa is imprisoned by Rassilon. The Castellan iskilled.
The Cybermen returned by Rassilon might carry knowledge of
Gallifrey to the Cyber-Race.
The Doctor becomes
the 409th
President of Gallifrey. The Doctor could have aquired a Type 57 but decides
to stick with his Type 40. Despite having tried his best to save the Doctor
the Master is not given a new cycle of Regenerations. Rassilon releases the
Master, stating that he will eventuall suffer for his sins. The Doctor goes
on the run from the Time Lords again
and now considers himself an excile.
NOTE: It would appear that something in the Last Great Time War alterned
history so that Sarah-Jane did not travel to the Death Zone on
Gallifrey.
849~
(right after The Five Doctors)
Jelpax is demoted from Co-Ordinator of the Matrix to Traffic
Controller.Engin probably replaces him.

849??
(shortly after the Five Docs / before Trial of a Time Lord)
Spandrell is made Castallan again.
849~
(shortly before the Legacy of Gallifrey is written)

850~
Warriors of the Deep: The Doctor regrets not aquiring a Type 57 TARDIS while
still on Gallifrey.
850~
The Awakening.

Excelis Dawns: Iris insists that the Doctor has proposed to her several
times by this point. When asked if he loves Iris the Doctor dodges the
question.
850 (less then a year before Fixing a Hole)
Resurrection of the Daleks: The Dalek's plot to send duplicates of the
Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough to Gallifrey to assassinate the High Council of
the Time Lords is thawarted by the Doctor. This plan was enacted to give the
Daleks increased freedom to use time travel and to show the Universe that
the Daleks can threaten even the Time Lords.
This might also be an act of revenge for the events of Genisis of
the Daleks incident.
The Time Lords decide that the Dalek Duplication process doesn't
threaten them but the Supream Council begins to take a direct interest in
Dalek activities.

The Doctor and The Savant
850(While traveling with only Turlough / the Doctor is 850)
Zeitgeist: The Doctor encounters The Savant, a version of himself that
never left Gallifrey. The Savant is created by temporal reflection and is
probably destroyed in the creation of a Time Rift. The Time Rift registers
as 8+ on Gallifrey.
850 (while traveling with Turlough)
Singularity: the minds of the last Post-Humans try to escape by
transfering their minds into the bodies of people in 21st century Earth. The
Doctor's TARDIS is caught in a massive temporal explosion that takes it 100
years to recover from. The Doctor stops them and witnesses the death of the
last human (a man named Xen) on the planet Ember. By this point the Doctor
knows that there will be someone to watch over the last humans after they
die.
850(centuries before Storm Warning)
Imperial Moon: The Doctor stops the TARDIS in the vortex for the last time
for centuries.
?? (before Planet of Fire)

850 (2 years after Mawdryn Undead from Turlough's POV)
Planet of Fire: The Doctor deliberatly tries to kill the Master despite his
desperate pleading.
The Master's body is left hidiously burned at the end of this story. By
this point Turlough knows enough about TARDIS operation to slip it forward 6
months in time.
It is possible that the numismaton gas allows the Master to grow a
second heart in his trakenite body.
850(Right after Planet of Fire)
The Earthlink Dilemma: Turlough creates the first ARTEMIS (Artificial
Rotation Through Energetic Muons In Series). The Magician observes this.

TARDIS)
Superior Beings: Doctor carries a golden TARDIS key. The TARDIS Temporal
Grace Circuits still aren't working. The TARDIS occationaly leaves Peri
welcome aboard gifts. The TARDIS doesn't give the Doctor such gifts anymore.
The Doctor believes that the Khorlthochloi's acheivements outweigh even
Rassilon's.
850(the Doctor is about 850)
The Ultimate Treasure: By this point the TARDIS has regeneratated most of
the missing mass that was jettisoned in Castrovalva.
By now the Doctor IS counting the 30 years from Heart of TARDIS as
part of his age.
850 (after Planet of Fire)
Urban Myths: The Doctor cures the CIA agents Inquisitor Auron, Commander
Edge, Commander Harom, and Ketto, who have been infected with the Tule-Oz
virus. By this point (to insure the existance of back up copies) and top
secret message sent from Gallifrey is routed through the TARDIS closest to
the receiver.

that will allow the Time Lords to secretly steer the TARDIS to various
trouble spots. Because of this device a Rovie Mouse that's lose in the
TARDIS mutates into a hyper intelligent temporal monster. The Time Lords
predict it could threaten all of space time and send Shayde to deal with it.
The Mouse is taken back to Gallifrey to reformed, and the Remote Operation
Module is removed.

of his actions are not interferences with history but part of
history.
?? (probably shortly before Axis of Insanity)
The Time Lord Protok is dispatched to the planetPangorum to prevent Jarra
To's temporal experiments from damaging the Web of Time. Protok is killed
and (as is standard procedure when a Time Lord is captured or killed) the
Time Lords remove that version of Pangorum's history and place it in the
Axis.
85

(shortly after Erimem joins the TARDIS crew)
Axis of Insanity: Jarra To escapes from her looped timeline and takes over
the Axis. The Doctor arrives and defeates her.
85
1
(after Erimem joins the TARDIS crew)
Nekromantia: The Doctor is killed by beheading but his life essence is
trapped in a time loop inside a pocket of eternity. The creator of this
pocket, a being named Shara, creates a new body for the Doctor and transfers
the Doctor's essence into that body.
85
1
(before The Key 2 Time)
Due to the Doctor's attempt to use a false segment, the Segments to the
Key to Time are decaying and their powers are warping space and creating
holes in time. As the segments get closer to imploding they form a gravity
well that can create a singularity.Time itself is disappearing and all the
dimensions are collapsing.Because of this the stabilized CVE will not be
enough to save the universe.The decay of theKey to Timewill eventually
collapse the Universe.In response to this The Grace builds and dispatches
two agents to find the six Segments to the Key to Time again. By this point
Dimensions 1-5 is all that the Guardians can access. This causes their
powers to fade drastically.
85
1
(after Erimem has left the TARDIS)
The Key 2 Time:With the help of the Doctor, the two tracers, created by
the Grace, finish tracking down the segments to the Key to Time at the Chaos
Pool. The Chaos Pool can be found on the Chaos Planet which exists in a fold
in Time between the end of the Universe and the beginning.When the Grace
manifests with in the segments to oversee the assembly the Doctor (horrified
at the Grace's callous behavior) throws the first 5 segments into the Chaos
Pool. This disperses the Key throughout the cosmos and destroys the Grace.
One of the Tracers, Amy, joins Romana on her return to Gallifrey. Roman
hopes to reduce Gallifrey's parochial attitudes by opening the Time Academy
up to non-Gallifreyans.Amy plans to attend the Time Academy and become a
Time Lady.
