Terrance Dicks novelized an extraordinary number of _Doctor Who_ television episodes. This does include stories about the third Doctor stranded on twentieth century Earth, so those may not count. Some of that seems to be made in the 1970s and set in the 1980s but that doesn't count as time travelling and I think a lot of it rests on a reference to the British Prime Minister as "Ma'am".
