Alan Kistler's Eighth Doctor Chronology
Sunday, July 27, 2008 at 01:13AM This is my listing of the Eighth Doctor's adventures in chronological order and is part of my essays and articles concerning the In-Depth History of Doctor Who. This particular article is also a companion piece to my History of the Eighth Doctor.
BBC7 is continuing to produce original audio plays starring the Eighth Doctor and new stories of his occasionally appear in the Big Finish Short Trips anthology books. As such, this list will be constantly updated accordingly.
As I do not believe the BBC novels really work 
with the continuity of the new TV series and since the audio play Zagreus confirmed those adventures took place in an "alternate time line", they are not included here. So this list is just focused on the comic strips from Doctor Who Magazine and the audio plays starring Paul McGann. If you are a completist who doesn't agree with my take, feel free to check out the Doctor Who Reference Guide.
