Jules Verne

Jules Verne was a writer of science fiction.

Jules Verne once had an adventure with the Doctor in which they encountered Silurians and a giant squid. This inspired Verne to write 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, although the Doctor convinced Jules to remove the Silurians from the story. (NSA: Peacemaker) On an earlier occasion, the Doctor claimed to have worked alongside Verne for many years. (ST: 64 Carlysle Street)

Ian Chesterton had read Jules Verne and H.G. Wells as a child. (PDA: The Eleventh Tiger)

When the Doctor discovered Richard Haliwell's journal and read from it, Turlough said that it sounded like something H.G. Wells or Jules Verne had written. (PDA: Imperial Moon)

The TARDIS' console room was compared to something out of Jules Verne by several people, including Sam Jones (EDA: Seeing I, Vanderdeken's Children, The Scarlet Empress), Fitz Kreiner (EDA: The Blue Angel), and Nina Kellow. (TN: Rip Tide)
