The Time Machine


 * For the Doctor Who BBC Radio Drama see The Time Machine (story). For other uses, see Time Machine (disambiguation).

The Time Machine was a short science fiction novel by H.G. Wells very possibly inspired by Wells' adventure with the Doctor. (DW: Timelash)

Professsor Chronotis settled down to read a paperback copy of this novel. (DW: Shada)

Likewise, the Seventh Doctor relaxed by reading a copy of this book. Following his regeneration, the Eighth Doctor attempted to do the same, though a skipping record interrupted him both times. (DW: Doctor Who: The TV Movie)

Behind the Scenes
Doctor Who owes an obvious debt to The Time Machine, with The Daleks quite possibly inspired in particular by the film version. Worldwide acclaim has made the Doctor's TARDIS probably the most popular fictional time machine in history.
