'''''The Time Machine''''' was a short [[science fiction]] [[novel]] by [[H. G. Wells]]. It may have been inspired by Wells' adventure with the [[Sixth Doctor]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'') and his encounter with the [[Tenth Doctor]] ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Time Machination]]''), or possibly by Wells' friend [[Theophilus Tolliver]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Eternal Present]]'')

Despite this, [[Will Arrowsmith]] was fairly sure that the Victorian-esque [[TARDIS console room]] used by the [[Seventh Doctor]] towards the end of his life was inspired by ''The Time Machine'' — though more likely the [[film]] version than the original novel itself. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'')

The [[First Doctor]]'s companion [[Oliver Harper]] had seen the film adaptation of the novel. He too connected the Doctor's ship with the time machine in the story, and initially thought that [[the TARDIS]] could move in [[time]] but not [[space]]. He expected to see [[Shoreditch]] in the "time of the [[dinosaur]]s" or the [[21st century]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Cold Equations]]'')
