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
Not yet done

The Victoria Era

The Pre-Soho Era

The Soho Era

Season 1 - Pre-Season 2

Season 3 - Pre-Season 4

If anyone can see any glaring errors or things I’ve missed, please do let me know (will keep this updated)

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!

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

There’s also this on the tardis wiki: https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Theory:Timeline_-_Torchwood (with other timelines for each character).

if you go to THIS IMGUR LINK should be able to see it in more detail and actually read the timeline and notes

At least on my phone, even the IMGUR link is too blurry to read.

When you’ve finished (and when I have some time) I’d be happy to explore ways to add this to TARDIS Guide as a Guide, in an easily readable format (not an image), I could make it so you can interact with it - tick a box to include or remove books, for example.

I’ve been planning a similar thing with a Doctor Who TV timeline than includes spin-offs.

I put it on discord too so might be able to read there?

But yeah no, wold love to add this as a guide (to be fair, may need splitting into multiple sections, but ye)

Not sure what you mean by flipped?

Rotated so it’s a bit more readable on phones lol.

Ah gotcha, not sure about flipped and that, but I’ve put the image on my dropbox so you can download the full size image from there and then do what you want with it
