An issue of The Times from September 2009. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Two)

The Times was a British newspaper. It was printed from the Victorian era through to the early 21st century.

In London during the 1890s, both the newly regenerated Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald were led to the Half-Face Man's base at Mancini's Family Restaurant through a hint in an issue of The Times newspaper that was left by an unknown individual which they deduced to be intent on keeping the two of them together. This newspaper was delivered by Paternoster Gang butler, Strax, who threw it through Madame Vastra's window, with the paper comically landing on Clara's head. (TV: Deep Breath)

On arriving at Heathrow Airport, the Fifth Doctor checked the latest cricket scores in The Times. (TV: Time-Flight)

The Fifth Doctor found and read a September 1901 edition of The Times, the front page of which announced the launch of the first British submarine, in the crew room aboard the Shadow. (TV: Enlightenment)

When the Second Doctor arrived to meet the Brigadier at a UNIT reunion, he said he was here for his speech as guest of honour, revealing that he heard of it in The Times. Colonel Crichton pointed out that this was impossible as the reporter was still there. The Doctor explained that he heard it from "tomorrow's Times". (TV: The Five Doctors)

In September 2009, The Times reported on the children's message to the world: "We are coming". Ianto Jones read a copy he picked up from a delivery point. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Two)

In 1994, when Ben Jackson and Polly Wright were visiting W H Smith, Polly saw The Times and read the society notices. When she looked at the obituaries, she realised that no-one was mentioned there that she knew. (PROSE: Invasion of the Cat-People)
