Time Reaver was the second story in the Tenth Doctor Adventures Big Finish audio series.
Publisher's summary
Calibris. The spaceport planet where anything goes. Where anyone who doesn't want to be found can be lost, and where everything has its price. Where betentacled gangster Gully holds sway at the smugglers' tavern, Vagabond's Reach.
The alien Vacintians are trying to impose some order on the chaos. Soon the Doctor and Donna discover why. An illegal weapon is loose on the streets. A weapon that destroys lives… Slowly and agonisingly.
The Time Reaver.

References
Food and Drink
- Donna wonders whether there's a coffee shop on Calibris. To the Doctor's surprise, the head office has been decorated to resemble one and also serves scones.
Planets
- Vactinia, the home of the Vactinians, is in its final days. The sun that it orbits is now a red giant.
- Calibris is a spaceport planet used as a crossover point by billions of people every day.
Popular Culture
- It is suggested by the Doctor that he had at least once made a habit of visiting the nightclub Sugar Hut.
Species
- The Vactinians are a race of people who like to keep order. They are also known for their paperwork and regulations.
- Despite facing almost certain death on their homeworld, Vactinians prefer to live their final moments together as a single race of people.
The TARDIS
- Donna notes that there is a very limited range of women's clothing in the TARDIS wardrobe.
Weapons
- Time Reaver guns can turn seconds into much longer time periods. The victim/user will experience their final emotion all the way through this experience.
- Time Reavers were outlawed in most major galaxies.
- A Time Reaver Bomb had the same effect as a Time Reaver, however it was made to explode and affect more than one person at a time.
Notes
to be added
Continuity
- The Doctor requires a new fluid link for his TARDIS. (TV: The Daleks, The Web Planet et al)
- Donna Noble borrows a "wench" style outfit from the TARDIS wardrobe. (TV: Pyramids of Mars, The Twin Dilemma, AUDIO: No Place Like Home)
- When Donna is greeted by the maitre d', he notices the Time Reaver Bomb strapped to her back and uses the line "there is something on your back". This foreshadows the events of TV: Turn Left.
- Mere seconds before Donna thinks she is going to die, Donna says to the Doctor that she "wouldn't have missed it for the world". This mirrors the interaction between Rose Tyler and the Ninth Doctor during TV: Dalek.
- Shortly after the death of Cora's father, Donna tries to comfort her by revealing her own father's last words. (TV: The Runaway Bride, The End of Time)
- After spending decades trapped in his comatose state, the Doctor states that he missed reading. He then decides that their next trip would be to a library. The Doctor would one day take Donna to the Library. (TV: Silence in the Library)
