Dec 1, 2015 at 12:49 comment added Paul D. Waite “Are there some canonical rules or explanation about how time operates in Doctor Who” — thankfully not. The Doctor laughs in the face of continuity, meaning that the show can tell stories for fifty-odd years without getting bogged down in the minutiae of made-up rules.

Aug 16, 2013 at 3:31 comment added Mark Rogers As far as I can tell the writers first made time unchangeable (with the doom of the Aztecs) and then they made it change-able but no one would remember the old timeline (with the Meddling Monk creating Stone Henge). It seems like it changes to fit the story, but what we remember as history is largely the result of history after the doctor's adventure of the week.
