Torchwood Timeline

I’m currently working on a timeline of all torchwood stories, there’s some contradictary details, but will try to include headcanon where canon doesn’t quite make sense

So far I’ve got all the way from Tooth and Claw to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (though season 2 is where the real problems start, and even what I’ve got is missing some things like flashbacks and such)

Pre-Victoria

Excellent work - love a timeline (but am so behind in listening to a lot of this that I couldn’t help you out with any errors! Sorry!)

Nicely done. I’d love to get my hands on this spreadsheet when it’s done.

Yeah of course, I’ll share the link here!

Awesome. I useful resource might be this viewing order guide by @Tigfore on twitter

I record my own views and reviews in a spreadsheet like this.

Ooooo interesting

Looking it over I’m not sure I agree with some of the placements, but I can see why they’re where they are
