A Time Scoop (alternatively spelled Timescoop) was a device which could be targeted at individuals or objects to move them from one point in time and space to another.
The Fifth Doctor described a Time Scoop as a pandimensional triangle, three points of anti-time. (AUDIO: The Auton Infinity) One of the elements needed to make a Time Lord Time Scoop was taranium from Pazithi Gallifreya. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible)
Borusa used the Time Scoop to transport people and items to the Death Zone on Gallifrey, restarting the Game of Rassilon. The Time Scoop transported several of the Doctor's incarnations there, and also transported enemies of his, including a Dalek, a squad of Cybermen, a Yeti, and a Raston Warrior Robot. (TV: The Five Doctors) Renegade Time Lord Ryoth attempted to use the Time Scoop against the Fifth and Eighth Doctors, but they were able to turn it against him by setting up a Temporal Reverse Feedback Field that sent the Drashig he attempted to unleash against them to the Time Scoop itself, the Drashig destroying the Time Scoop and eating Ryoth before the other Time Lords sent it to the Death Zone via transmat — where they hoped it would eat up all the other horrors there. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors)
The Second Doctor encountered many villains, including a Raston Warrior Robot and a vampire, that were brought to Earth via time scoop as part of a renegade Time Lord's alliance with the Countess. (PROSE: World Game)
The Sixth Doctor was once ensnared by a Time Scoop created by the Daleks. They hoped to recruit him to stop Davros from creating the Juggernauts. (AUDIO: The Juggernauts)
Another Time Scoop was created by Whitaker to transport dinosaurs from prehistory to the 1970s in order to force an evacuation of London as a precursor to Operation Golden Age. He planned to use the device to create a stable field around a specific area of London, while the rest of the planet would be returned to a time when it was purer and hadn't been almost destroyed by the creations of man, allowing him to create the impression that his chosen few had travelled through space to arrive on a new world. His plan was foiled when the Doctor stopped the machine, but when he attempted to reactivate it, the Doctor's reprogramming of the device caused it to send Whitaker along with his colleague and financial backer Charles Grover back to an unknown time. (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs)
A Time Scoop was used by Handrel to gather various ancient creatures in an attempt to solve the problem of limited regeneration. (PROSE: The Time Lord's Story)
The Monk created a makeshift Time Scoop to capture a TARDIS in order to fix his own. (AUDIO: The Book of Kells)
The Eighth Doctor and Lucie Miller initially avoided a time scoop sent by the Time Lords to recall all renegade Time Lords, before being caught later on when attempting to cross the Doctor's own streams. (AUDIO: Sisters of the Flame, The Vengeance of Morbius)
Time scoops were also components on space-time vessels, such as Glom's. Rose Tyler, protected from the time winds by a temporal inhibitor, was sucked into Glom's time scoops after Rose was blown into the Time Vortex. This nearly ripped out the ship's injector system. (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction)
In an aborted timeline, the Saxon Master used a time scoop to summon several of his past incarnations, and Jo Grant by accident, to the remains of Kiamet. Missy used it to scatter her past selves across the history of Kiamet and later to reunite with three of them after they failed to contain the entropy creature. (AUDIO: Masterful)
When a Time Lord author attempted to make sense of his species' history, his research led him to believe that the Time Scoop, given its mundane name, had pre-dated Rassilon while noting that the Founding Father's refusal to outright dismantle it could be viewed as an early sign of his megalomania. When the Last Great Time War broke out, the Time Scoop was used to quickly erect a fleet of bowships, Black Hole Carriers and N-Forms from Gallifrey's past. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords) Later in the conflict, the Time Lords time scooped several reptilian predators from Gallifrey's prehistory for use as weapons. (PROSE: Engines of War)

A Time Scoop was present on Doctor Doctor's STARSHED. AIEIO said it was only to be used in "absolute emergencies". Doctor Doctor and AIEIO used it when Doctor Doctor's illusion anti-gravity ball got too close to the earth and the anti-gravity field increased too far. This meant that they could not go to the European finals, as to get in Doctor Doctor was masquerading as the intergalactic football champion. AIEIO and the Doctor first Time Scooped two gladiators, Sabre and Apollo, to assist in the retrieval of the ball, but when the plan backfired and the ball received a puncture, AIEIO attempted to Time Scoop a ball. However, he inputted the incorrect number, and so 111 balls were Time Scooped to the STARSHED. (TV: Gladiators Keepy Uppy [+]Loading...["Gladiators Keepy Uppy (TV story)"])
