{So The Red List is complicated} There are plenty of references to 'wearing masks' and 'two weeks of quarantine when you go abroad', so maybe this is set in 2021?
Well..... Colchester also says the 'Dalek invasion' was 10 years ago. So maybe this is set in 2019?
And James Goss has explicitly said on Twitter that it's set in 2022, post-Covid.
{Spoiler} I've not finished it yet so haven't heard the Dalek line but my best bet is 2022, post-covid which is very optimistic from BF. They aren't isolated in the hotel for covid, but it's similar restrictions for another illness because (paraphrasing here) "countries have grown accustomed to quarantining travellers," and Colchester is annoyed at people who didn't wear makes, not people who aren't wearing masks. I either missed the dalek reference or I haven't heard it yet but I'm just going to assume Colchester was just rounding down.

Is there a possibility that The Grey Mare could be set during Out of Time? Ianto not knowing if Jack has feelings for him or not makes me feel like it should be set pre-series 2.

That’s very possible. From memory Out of Time finishes daytime Christmas Eve and Ianto is barely in it. I think he might literally only appear in the shopping scenes.

We have Jack dealing with John, Gwen with Emma, and Owen with Diane. Tosh and Ianto don't get a look in.

{Cadoc Point} Sooo, Andy mentions at the end how he used to know a team of people who would sort out 'this kind of thing', and that they 'made too much noise and got shut down'. So this is either in the Miracle Day - Forgotten Lives gap, or post-series 6.

I haven't listened to the extras yet.

Sonny
Rhys is working with Torchwood and mentions that Gwen suggested this mission specifically, so prior to Herald of the Dawn. Brenda seems very familiar with Torchwood so likely after Visiting Hours. I’d hazard a guess maybe somewhere during Aliens Among Us?

The Black Knight{Spoiler} Norton uses the hard-light projector that he previously used in Ghost Mission and Goodbye Piccadilly. Nothing else really to pin this down Torchwood-wise.
Although I just googled a few of the real-world space missions that I could recall getting referenced in this story and they do narrow it down a bit. Sputnik was 1957, Pioneer 4 in 1959 and Luna 1 in 1959. So if we assume those dates are true Torchwood universe too, that puts this in 1959.

Spoilers for God Among Us 2 {Spoiler} I don't think that can work as Norton is stuck on flight 405 in a time loop from 1957 to 2018.

I don’t recall God Among Us actually giving a specific date for that event (part of the problem with Story Continues and timelines is it’s refusal to date anything beyond vague number of week descriptions). In any case, this is just based off references to real space. You can always head canon that it’s just different in the Who universe (which usually plays fast and loose with the Space Race anyway).

After some googling I found out that the Suez Canal Crisis was an actual thing that happened beginning with an event in late 1956 that led to a fuel shortage in the UK during early 1957. Which lines up with the nonspecific dating in the story that places it somewhere roughly between April and August.
So I kinda think that maybe Madam I’m and Torchwood Soho fall after his appearance in God Among Us.

So Infidel Places is set during the vote for women to be able to receive degrees, so I assume it takes place in 1897.
Fortitude - 1893 Infidel Places - 1897 Save Our Souls - 1898 The Crown - 18?? The Victorian Age - 1899

The Victorian Age - 1899 Yeah it’s actually mentioned in the BF news piece specifically that it’s 1897. It’s annoying that we don’t have any inclination of where The Crown goes.

{War Chest} This one is difficult. Someone says that Toshiko has been working at Torchwood for a year, which would place this in late 2005. However, it's also supposed to be set after Torchwood One's fall, which would make it 2007.
I'm going to stick it with The Vigil and Iceberg in the pre-series 1 stories for now.

Dead Plates doesn’t feature Torchwood itself, and being a Bilis story is kinda ambiguous as to where it occurs relative to his other stories cos Bilis doesn’t really have a timeline (as he just hops from time period to time period at a whim).
Its set in 1978 though, so if you wanted a specific placement that’s where it goes.
