Rudyard Kipling (born 30 December 1865) (AUDIO: Assassin in the Limelight [+]Loading...["Assassin in the Limelight (audio story)"]) was a British author during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He was Sarah Jane Smith's favourite author. She asked the Fourth Doctor to take her to meet him. He did, but in 1880, while Kipling was still a teenager. (PROSE: Evolution [+]Loading...["Evolution (novel)"])

He wrote a poem that contained the line:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run

The Fourteenth Doctor remembered this poem, before commending him, and his cakes. (PROSE: Destination: Skaro [+]Loading...["Destination: Skaro (novelisation)"])

Kipling was played by David Haig in the play and later telefilm My Boy Jack.
