You may be looking for the in-universe magazine.

Radio Times is a weekly magazine that publishes radio and television programme listing. 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):

Notes

A pretend Radio Times article promoting Daughter of the Gods, published in VOR 128.
  • No television series have had more covers than Doctor Who.
  • Each of Jon Pertwee's seasons as the Third Doctor were heralded by a Radio Times cover.
  • Tom Baker never had a Radio Times cover during his era, although he did later appear on a retrospective cover.
  • Radio Times offered to feature the Cybermen in a front cover and accompanying article to mark the start of Earthshock, but producer John Nathan-Turner turned this down as he was keen to preserve the surprise of their reappearance.
  • Vortex magazine #128 featured a pretend render of a Radio Times article celebrating "Five years of Doctor Who". This was done by Big Finish Productions to promote the release of Daughter of the Gods, which was envisioned as a "five-year anniversary special", the Radio Times image adding to the feeling of authenticity.

Radio Times Covers Party

Radio Times holds its own annual Radio Times Covers Party, a prestigious event where cover stars are awarded framed covers, since the 2005 relaunch the Doctor Who team have been the recipients of more covers than any other series on TV.
