BBV: Time Travellers' time placement
« Thread Started on Aug 10, 2009, 5:50pm »
I've just recently completed a set of Time Travellers CDs from BBV, starring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. Having listened to them all I think they should be considered effectively adventures of the Seventh Doctor and Ace, but where they would sit in chronology I'm not sure.

I haven't read the Timewyrm series yet (it's on the pile to read though), but as far as I understand that's the start of the 'maturing' of Ace into a much harder, more bitter character. So I figure that the Time Travellers series (with the possible exception of Punchline) fits into the space between Survival and Timewyrm. Punchline is more difficult as it doesn't have a companion so it could just as easily fit near Lungbarrow, or at numerous other points where the Seventh Doctor is between companions.

Any ideas? Placement of a single story, or perhaps the whole group as one block?

Thanks to Dan Tessier on Gallifrey Base (go sign up if you haven't!), who I quote below:
"I had read a theory that they occurred just before the New Adventures. The Doctor and Ace were forced to change their names in an attempt to avoid an enemy, who eventually succeeded in capturing and 'fictionalising' them - thus leading to the crisis of identity in 'Punchline.' They escape and defeat the enemy, but at the price of losing their recent memories... leading into 'Timewyrm: Genesys,' at the beginning of which they discover their memories have been tampered with."
That's quite neat I think.
