The majority of the stories in the long-running television series Doctor Who and its spin-offs include an element of time travel, with the settings taking place on dates across a wide span of time in the fictional universe of Doctor Who – the "Whoniverse". To date, 11 actors have portrayed the Doctor, with each receiving an ordinal number (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.). This list encompasses the adventures of all 11 Doctors and the spin-off series Torchwood (TW), The Sarah Jane Adventures (SJA) and K-9. It also includes the singular pilot episode of K-9 and Company. It does not cover audio dramas, such as those by Big Finish Productions, or novels.
Dating
[edit]Not all of these stories can have a possible date attributed to them. Some have none; some have more than one, and some have contradictory dating. For example, most of the adventures in Doctor Who featuring the fictional UNIT organisation contain information that would attribute various, often contradictory dates between the 1960s to the 1980s to them. Over the long period of production, different writers have suggested different dates on which the stories are set, resulting in some noted controversy regarding these stories. Other stories take place on the timeless fictional planet of Gallifrey; stories set there can be attributed to a distinct chronological order but cannot be attributed to any specific date.
Many stories and episodes depict or refer to events similar to historical events in real life, or involve characters identifiable as real-life historic individuals. Many dates or periods of time are given without specifying the calendar or units of time; they may be in the Gregorian calendar and the units of time are those in common, everyday usage in the real world.

Vague or unspecified dates
[edit]Undated stories and episodes
[edit]Many of the stories do not give sufficient information to determine possible dates at which they might be set, though they can often be seen to be set in a contemporary period or at some future time.
Inside the TARDIS
[edit]The TARDIS's nature as a time machine makes it impossible to place adventures set solely in the ship to a specific date and locale. However, most of the adventures occur while the ship is in transit between two specifically mentioned locations.

Reinette's portrait on the ship gives the year of her birth as 1721. She states her age as 7 in what she tells the Doctor is the year 1727, though she would be six full years and some months. Rose told Reinette the clockwork droids would come for her in five years; they came for her when she was 37. The King says Reinette was 43 when she died. Consistent with the years stated on her portrait in the story, and the actual dates of her birth (29 Dec 1721) and death (15 Apr 1764), she was 42 years, 3 months, and 2.5 weeks old, in her 43rd year when she died.

- ^ This Story is set a few months after the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbra leave London in the TARDIS; the meta-reference in episode 2, "This is BBC television, the time is quarter past five and Saturday viewing continues with an adventure in the new science fiction series Do..." provides the date of 23 November 1963.

This is consistent with the Doctor saying that Rose is 19 in "The Unquiet Dead", set wihin a few days of the events of "Rose" in Rose's personal timeline (Rose tells Mickey in "Aliens of London" that the events of that episode are only a few days for her after leaving him at the end of "Rose"), if the attributable date of 5–6 March 2005 for "Rose" is correct (the Doctor also gives her age as 19 in "Dalek"). However, the Doctor says in "Rise of the Cybermen" that Rose was 6 months old when her father died – on 7 November 1987 in "Father's Day", when she is depicted as a baby.

They are shown living in the US in The Mark of the Berserker (TMotB) when Rani meets them for the first time (over a webcam). Rani and her family make their first appearances in The Day of the Clown (TDotC). In Enemy of the Bane (EotB), Sarah Jane recognises Commander Kaagh who himself refers to the events of TLS. In TLS Alan refers to the events of The Lost Boy (TLB) and Maria refers to the Xylok. Also, Professor Rivers of the Pharos Institute refers to "that business with Nathan Goss" (the child Slitheen in TLB) in TDotC. In Prisoner of the Judoon Rani refers to the events of EotB. In The Mad Woman in the Attic, present day Rani has flashbacks to TDotC, TMotB and The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith (TToSJS); Luke has a flashback to TLS, and Sarah Jane has flashbacks to TDotC and TToSJS.

Jack (referring to the events of 1965) says that "the only consolation I had was that the deal seemed to work", to which Rhys responded "it worked for 44 years".
- ^ The events of The Stolen Earth and Journey's End are mentioned, which took place the previous year.

- ^ Based on the attributable date for "Voyage of the Damned", whose events are paralleled. Also, Sylvia says the second day was Christmas Day.

He is apparently still in this state whilst imprisoned in Resurrection of the Daleks. Speaking to Lytton, Davros explains that his cryogenic sentence lasted for "90 years of mind-numbing boredom." In Revelation of the Daleks, Davros relates how he escaped the space station in Resurrection by escape pod, ending up on Necros.
