History Franchise / Whoniverse

* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' (2006-2011)[[note]]The BBC has technically not cancelled ''Torchwood'', but no new seasons have been commissioned since 2011 and as of 2014 none are planned.[[/note]]

** Creator/ChrisBoucher's Fourth Doctor novel ''Corpse Marker'' and "Robots of Death" spinoff audio series ''Kaldor City'' both accept that ''Doctor Who'' and ''[[Series/BlakesSeven Blake's 7]]'' share a universe, through the presence of a ''Blake's 7'' supporting character [[spoiler: and quite possibly [[SignificantMonogram a series lead too.]]]]

The ''Whoniverse'' is TheVerse inhabited by [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]] and by Series/{{Torchwood}}. It is a large and unwieldy beast full of internal contradictions. Fortunately, it's a really, ''really'' big universe encompassing, er, all of space and a history stretching, oh, from the Big Bang to 100 trillion years in the future (plus an alternate universe or five).

** Michael Moorcock's Eleventh Doctor spin-off novel ''The Coming of the Terraphiles'' is a full-on IntercontinuityCrossover with Moorcock's "Second Ether" novels, which means that the Whoniverse is also linked to Moorcock's multiverse, and the Doctor is an incarnation of his Eternal Champion.

Due to the nature of the show, any timeline described here can be overwritten, split, or contradicted -- both by its own canon and by the countless spin-off media of the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse. In turn, the core canon can contradict or overwrite the expanded universe, but can also canonise bits of it at times. This flexibility is thanks (per various different WordOfGod sources such as series writer Paul Cornell) to the fact that other than a general rule that says no one should have to purchase merchandise to understand the TV series itself, Creator/TheBBC has never put in a hard and fast rule as to what is "canon", which contrasts with the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' franchise where its owners (Creator/{{Paramount}}) and creator (Creator/GeneRoddenberry) put in a longstanding rule that only what appears on screen counted.
