Jules Verne

Jules Verne was a writer of science fiction.

Jules Verne once had an adventure with the Doctor in which they encountered Silurians and a giant squid. This inspired Verne to write 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, although the Doctor convinced Jules to remove the Silurians from the story. (NSA: Peacemaker) On an earlier occasion, the First Doctor claimed to have worked alongside Verne for many years. (ST: 64 Carlysle Street)

When the Fifth Doctor discovered Richard Haliwell's journal and read from it, Turlough said that it sounded like something H.G. Wells or Jules Verne had written. (PDA: Imperial Moon)
