This is a work of non-fiction.

Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.

A History of the Universe is a speculative history of the Doctor Who universe as shown in multiple media. Its main text is an in-universe perspective on this history from the point of view of a fictional version of the author and several Doctor Who characters with copious out-of-universe annotations explaining the reasoning behind the fictional perspectives. It was later expanded and updated, in the form of AHistory, also by Parkin.

Publisher's summary[]

At last, the complete timeline of the Doctor Who universe, from Event One to its final destruction tens of billion years in the future.

This essential reference work reveals the full story of the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the Time Lords. It also includes a comprehensive history of Earth, charting the rise of humanity from a primitive tribe on the African plains to a race of galaxy-spanning conquerors.

Every recorded event mentioned in the Doctor Who television series and the New and Missing Adventures is woven into this fascinating chronicle — with different typefaces used to distinguish the source information. Dates range from the obvious (the Battle of Hastings) to the obscure (the year in which Galactic Salvage and Insurance went bust) while extensive notes explain the author's reasoning and research.

Containing a wealth of behind-the-scenes information, much of it revealed here for the first time. A History of the Universe is an indispensable guide to the worlds Doctor Who.
