'''''Radio Times''''' is a weekly magazine that publishes radio and television programme listings. Once owned in-house by the [[BBC]] through [[BBC Magazines]], its owners since 2011 are [[Immediate Media Company London Limited]].
 
It also sporadically published original ''Doctor Who'' fiction, beginning in [[1964 (releases)|1964]] with the Christmas short story ''[[Barbara in Wonderland (short story)|Barbara in Wonderland]]'' (which, contrary to expectations, did not star [[Barbara Wright]], but did however feature the [[First Doctor]] and two [[Dalek]]s). Other notable ''Radio Times'' DWU-related works included the first [[crossover]] between ''Doctor Who'' and another series (in the form of the [[1965 (releases)|1965]] comic strip ''[[Pugwash Ahoy! (comic story)|Pugwash Ahoy!]]''), the special [[Dalek]] short story ''[[We are the Daleks!]]'' in [[1973 (releases)|1973]], and the 20th anniversary short story ''[[Birth of a Renegade]]'' ([[1983 (releases)|1983]]). In the 1990s it even published a reasonably long-running serialised [[Eighth Doctor]] [[Radio Times comic strips|comic strip]].

* Besides giving cast and broadcast details for broadcast material on both TV and radio, the ''Radio Times'' is also significant in terms of ''Doctor Who'' for including related articles and features. The number of cover issues reflects its popularity and standing with the BBC and has never been stronger since the new ''Doctor Who'' launch in 2005, with the series on a few occasions featured multiple times over the course of only a few weeks (for example near the end of 2009).

You may be looking for the in-universe magazine.

Radio Times is a weekly magazine that publishes radio and television programme listings. Once owned in-house by the BBC through BBC Magazines, its owners since 2011 are Immediate Media Company London Limited.

It also sporadically published original Doctor Who fiction, beginning in 1964 with the Christmas short story Barbara in Wonderland (which, contrary to expectations, did not star Barbara Wright, but did however feature the First Doctor and two Daleks). Other notable Radio Times DWU-related works included the first crossover between Doctor Who and another series (in the form of the 1965 comic strip Pugwash Ahoy!), the special Dalek short story We are the Daleks! in 1973, and the 20th anniversary short story Birth of a Renegade (1983). In the 1990s it even published a reasonably long-running serialised Eighth Doctor comic strip.

For a breakdown of Radio Times extensive coverage of the series (including covers, articles, features and offers):
