A '''Time-Space Visualiser''' (also known as a '''Space-Time Visualiser''' or '''Time Television''') was a device that allowed the operator to view any event in history.

The [[Third Doctor]] later used the Visualiser to trace the origin of an alien spaceship fragment to the island of [[Salutua]] in [[1934]], creating a [[time bridge]] to that year in an attempt to escape his exile, but this was only possible due to the unique nature of the [[omicron]] radiation contaminating the fragment, and the time bridge was abandoned after his trip to Salutua nearly had disastrous consequences for history. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eye of the Giant (novel)|The Eye of the Giant]]'') With the Visualiser returned to its original purpose, the Doctor kept it as late as his [[Eleventh Doctor|eleventh incarnation]] where he used it to observe the timeline after he repaired the [[Dalek]]s' alterations using the [[Eye of Time]].

The [[Sixth Doctor]] watched the [[2006]] [[cricket]] Test Match between [[Australia]] and [[South Africa]] shortly after defeating [[Davros]] and the Daleks at the [[Battle of Waterloo]] on [[18 June]] [[1815]]. [[Flip Jackson]] described it as a "manky old thing" and criticised it for being in black and white.

The Visualiser could "tune in" to events all over the [[universe]] in many time eras. The [[First Doctor]] said that the Visualiser converted "[[neutron]]s of light energy into electrical impulses" and that it could only show events in the past. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'') However, [[Faction Paradox]] used a Time-Space Visualiser (presumably a different model) to forecast [[Fitz Kreiner]]'s future, showing him an image of himself as [[Father Kreiner]].

[[Izzy Sinclair]] used the Time-Space Visualiser to play various [[video game]]s, such as ''[[Happy Deathday]]'', which involved the Eighth Doctor and his past incarnations. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Happy Deathday (comic story)|Happy Deathday]]'') | |||
