Seventh Doctor

This page chronicles the adventures of the **Seventh Doctor** as played by Sylvester McCoy in the order in which he experienced them. Therefore the following timeline should not be seen as an accurate reading/listening order as some stories may have framing devices which take place later in another character's life.

The timeline is primarily derived from facts from within *Doctor Who* media, however authorial intent is taken into account as well. Occasionally, assumptions or speculations may be made where insufficient information is available, however these will always be marked as such for full transparency.

Most BBC licensed *Doctor Who* content is counted on this timeline, including but not limited to the TV series itself, Big Finish Productions, BBC Books and Virgin Books material. However, intentionally parodic content such as the Dr Men books, various Titan Comics backups and Doctor Whoah! should not be added to this particular chronology. Likewise, fanfiction and charity publications will also be avoided.
