I haven't posted here in a while. I can't speak for everybody since
I'm just a friend, passing through :)

But ... I've read some very detailed timelines of Who-dom. The events
leading to the Doctor's birth and the biggest details of his homeworld's
politics, etc have been changed by past adventures - so much that, for
example, his granddaughter Susan may only be a rhetorical or genetic
relation due to the Doctor maybe-possibly having been born by looming
and not by the natural birthing of the Gallifreyan nobility.
Who-history has it both ways, depending on which instance of history is
in effect for your game.

Continuity seems to be the vital enemy of all Who writers.

My Who game takes place in a universe where Earth was destroyed by the
daleks in the late 21st century - in order to give me maximum creative
license. It helps me escape both reality and canon for my homeworld's
flavoring. You might consider something like that, it allows you to use
what material exists, and ignore what doesn't.
