I absolutely do. I don't believe for a second that BF would create an alternate universe David Warner Doctor--which they have already done in more than one past release--simply to turn around and say 'we know it's the same actor and he's also the Doctor and we're also calling this release 'The UNBOUND Universe,' but they're not the same Doctor.' For whatever my 2¢ are worth, I think that would be absurd beyond belief. Besides, isn't there also a part in this set where the Doctor's memories are 'swirling' and we hear bits and pieces from previous Warner/Doctor releases? (I smell a re-listen already  ) See your thinking is backwards from mine. I would think they're all the same Doctor and that none of them are in the canonical universe. Not the canonical universe, but the canonical multiverse. Same as the Inferno universe, Pete's World and the Turn Left alternate universe. |

Same as the Inferno universe, Pete's World and the Turn Left alternate universe. But the Unbound universe is not considered part of the canonical multiverse. "Doctor Who - Unbound poses the question: What if...? A fascinating view of how the series and the character of the Doctor might have developed in eight different scenarios." I don't think Big Finish intended these stories to be part of a canonical multiverse. At least, that's not the impression I've gotten from everything I've read about them. |

I don't think Big Finish intended these stories to be part of a canonical multiverse. At least, that's not the impression I've gotten from everything I've read about them. Absolutely correct, but The Company of Friends shows us a universe filled with comic and novel adventures that seem to contravene Zagreus's theory that each medium exists in its own separate timeline. It wasn't initially intended to fit into a great multiversal patchwork, but because of this most recent Benny story probably now does. The Unbound universe may be more accurately represented as eight different parallel universes with the Void running in between them than one great cosmos of alternate Doctors. These things didn't happen in our universe but did indeed occur in other alternate existences. In terms of realities, they're not as outlandish as say... Doc Gallifrey playing sheriff in Vortex City, Lord Quiquaequod battling Darcouli, Joe Smith about to unload his six-shooter into a Cybergoon or even the Neutron Knights home dimension where a future incarnation (or two) play(s) Merlin. If our universe is the centre of an enormous axis that pushes out towards these elseworlds and other dimensions, then the Unbound Doctors are a series of universes far closer to something like the fascist England we saw in Inferno or the disturbing perversion of Revolutionary France witnessed in The Man in the Velvet Mask. Close enough for the fundamental laws of their universes not to have radically altered (so not Steam Wars vs. Star Wars), yet far enough away for the changes to make a radical enough impact (e.g. A Storm of Angels occurring roughly when The Sensorites should). |

I know...but it's about as specific as "sometime between his third and fifth regenerations," so I was hoping one of our DU experts would be clearer  |

Ever After Happy - For young Benny its one of the earliest stories, and you can usually figure out the order that young Benny stories go in by her age. For the older Benny, she’s with Peter and claims to be on an expedition for the Braxiatel Collection. The Grel Invasion of Earth - Benny is on Dellah so it’s set during Series 1. Braxiatel in Love - Between Death and the Daleks, and The Grel Escape Every Dark Thought - I think it’s meant to go at some point during Series 9. Empress of the Drahvins - At some point during the Road Trip Boxset The Angel of History - After The True Saviour of the Universe |

Empress of the Drahvins - At some point during the Road Trip Boxset If you want to get specific, I think it pretty much has to be between Brand Management and Bad Habits (probably after The Weather on Versimmon but I've not read the book), as there's a pretty straight line between Habits and their arrival on Legion. |
