Arthur Dent and his travelling companion Zaphod Beeblebrox were among many imprisoned in the Time Lord prison Shada. (WC: Shada)
The Tenth Doctor knew Arthur, recalling that Arthur was a "nice man", upon the occasion where he felt that wearing pyjamas made him feel "very Arthur Dent". (TV: The Christmas Invasion) This compliment would've surprised Arthur, as on the occasions that the Doctor had encountered Dent, he remained uninterested in killing Vogons and often beat Dent at Scrabble while making long and boring conversation with Ford about their wild time together in college. (PROSE: The Christmas Invasion)
