An Eloquence of Time and Space: An Unauthorised Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Poem Book was a fanzine-esque publication released in 2013 in the U.S.A. to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. An "episode guide with a twist," it primarily contained a series of poems, each serving as the "entry" for an episode of televised Doctor Who.

Although having no legal tie to the BBC, the book was notable for obtaining a commercial license for the use of K9's likeness on the back cover.

The book also contained bonus content in the form of a Doctor Who pastiche with no direct narrative or legal connections to the DWU, Never Go On Walks by James Wylder. This story debuted the characters of Lady Aesculapius, Graelyn Scythes and Archimedes Von Ahnerabe, soon to become main characters in an original, non-DW-related science fiction series, 10,000 Dawns. Ironically, the characters would later acquire a much more tangible link to the actual DWU through licensed crossovers between 10,000 Dawns and the Doctor Who expanded universe.
