Special thanks to Cedric Whiting of Nexus for kicking this off.
Sources: Some of the Doctor Who dates are absolute, i.e. the year is mentioned in the show/book. The others have been extrapolated from "evidence" by Lance Parkin in his book A History of the Universe were he trys (and succeeds) to put all Doctor Who stories into one unified history.
Other dates are sourced from Roger Fulton's excellent tome The Encyclopedia of TV Science Fiction.
