Season Twenty-Four

Code	Title	Type	Rating	Notes
7D	Time and the Rani	4 episodes	5	The Doctor regenerates immediately before this story. The Doctor is 953 years old.
NA46	Just War	Flashback	3	This features the seventh Doctor and Mel. Mel comments that she's not been to the past before. The Doctor's (non-question-mark) umbrella indicates that it's before Delta and the Bannermen.
7E	Paradise Towers	4 episodes	5
ST2	Special Weapons	More Short Trips	3	Features the Seventh Doctor and Mel. There's a reference to Paradise Towers.
BF39	Bang-Bang-a-Boom!	Big Finish Audio	5

Season Twenty-Five

Code	Title	Type	Rating	Notes
7H	Remembrance of the Daleks	4 episodes	5
7L	The Happiness Patrol	3 episodes	5
7J	The Greatest Show in the Galaxy	4 episodes	5
7K	Silver Nemesis	3 episodes	3	Silver Nemesis was broadcast before The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. However, in Silver Nemesis, Ace is wearing a badge she acquires in Greatest Show. As Silver Nemesis was originally intended to be the fourth story in the season, I have placed it accordingly.
ST2	uPVC	More Short Trips	3	Ace is familiar with the TARDIS. She still thinks there are no secrets between her and the Doctor, so it has to be before The Curse of Fenric, and is probably before Ghost Light.

Season Twenty-Six (The Ace Arc)

Code	Title	Type	Rating	Notes
7N	Battlefield	4 episodes	5	The Brigadier appears.
PD49	Relative Dementias	BBC Novel	3	Ace refers to events in Battlefield as if they are quite recent. She thinks there are no secrets between her and the Doctor (so it's before The Curse of Fenric). She can't remember the smells of Perivale (so it's probably before Ghost Light).
7Q	Ghost Light	3 episodes	5
7M	The Curse of Fenric	4 episodes	5
ST1	Ace of Hearts	Short Trips	3	Ace is still a teenager, so it's before Love and War. The Doctor is apologising for hurting her in Ghost Light and The Curse of Fenric, so it's probably before any later hurts (e.g. Nightshade).
PD10	The Hollow Men	BBC Novel	5
7P	Survival	3 episodes	5
TE02	Citadel of Dreams	Telos Novella	3	Features the Seventh Doctor and Ace. The author intended it to be after Survival.
