A small request for help

[aenariasbookshelf]

Just a wee bit of information needed, if anyone passes by it on their friends list and sees it and can help!

*hopeful look* I'll make you cookies. And I'll write fic (a special one just at your request plus the one that I need this question answered for)! :)

Basically, I just need to know if we have an exact date stamp or a general time as to when 'Last of the Time Lords' took place. I know that DW isn't exactly the best as for coming up with linear dates or even dates that just plain old make sense, but I need to know because when LotTL ends is when the story starts, and the ending of it has to take place at a certain time of year...so yeah. Any thoughts you guys have would definitely be appreciated!

i think that LotTL ends mid 2008. Here's my reasoning (I have no idea if it's right):
Rose meets the Doctor in mid-2005, just assuming that the story starts the year New Who came out; also that the clothes Rose and Mickey were wearing in "Rose" were spring/summer clothes - mid-year, anyway.
Then, the Doctor being destinationally-challenged, Rose misses a year, so in absolute time it would become mid-2006.
When the Doctor regenerates, he lands on what would be the next Christmas for Rose, or Christmas 2006.
Then the Doctor and Rose travel (happily for a long, long time!) in the TARDIS and we don't actually know how much time goes by, but I'm guessing Jackie's timeline is sort of the base here, and I assume it would be tied to the, er, real world. So, early-mid 2007.
Christmas 2007 can't have passed yet, because I'm pretty sure the Doctor would take Rose home for that, and that would have to be a Christmas special, or something....(I didn't say it made sense....)
But we do get a Christmas special, after Doomsday (moment of denial)... So then, in absolute time, we've moved to Christmas 2007.
When the Doctor meets Martha, judging quickly from the clothes I'm guessing the season's supposed to be mid-late spring.
We know, by LotTL, only a few days (week at most) have passed absolutely from the day the Doctor meets Martha. And that the election of a new Prime Minister occurred during those days. So - I guess there's no set time for elections in the UK as there is in the US (as wikipedia tells me), but my guess would have been early summer 2008?

(Hope that's at all helpful...)

*points you at my friend's timeline* According to this (http://nnwest.livejournal.com/tag/dw-verse+timeline), I'd say that Last of the Time Lords occurred around July or August of '08. Hope that helps you :)

(Yes, I'm being nosy and popped in when I saw you'd replied to my review ;))
