Elderly professor with unknown long-term tenure at the fictional St. Cedd's college in Cambridge, with a time machine in his rooms. Those are the chief similarities based on the small amount I watched of the Dr. Who arc Gat had linked.
Lots of stuff about '80s Macintosh software, ancient ghosts, electric monks, and Dodos in the rest of the book.
