The Doctor's Every Journey

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the amy-pond-is-on-my-list dept.

jc79 writes "David McCandless of InformationIsBeautiful.net has created a crowdsourced dataset of every time travel journey the Doctor made in every episode of the series since 1963. Who wants to visualise it?" Previous efforts have resulted in this amazing visualization of time travel intersecting Bill & Ted, Back to the Future, Time Bandits, Buck Rogers, Planet of the Apes and many more.

  1. Missing episodes by schon · · Score: 4, Informative

    I noticed that on the master sheet, he went from "Day of the Dinosaurs" to "Ark in Space" - missing the Jon Pertwee stories "Death to the Daleks", "The Monster of Peladon", "Planet of the Spiders", and the Tom Baker story "Robot"

    I know he says that the master sheet only contains those which have time travel, but this is clearly false - "The Monster of Peladon" takes place a century after "The Curse of Peladon", which is also missing. Also, in "Planet of the Spiders", takes place both in the 1970s, and far in the future (he speaks with a civilization made up of the descendents of a wrecked Earth space ship.)

    It does seem miss some instances of time travel in the middle of a story. For instance, near the end of Smith and Jones, he goes back to the beginning of the day to take his tie off at Martha, and during Vincent and the Doctor, there were two round trips from 2010 to 1890, of which only the first leg is reported here.

    OK, I may be over-nerding here even on a nerd topic.
