The Vanishing Point was the third story in the audio anthology Conspiracy of Raven, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Mark Wright and Nicholas Briggs and featured Michael Troughton as the Second Doctor, Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon, Wendy Padbury as Zoe Heriot and Emma Noakes as Raven.

Publisher's summary

Following the threads of a conspiracy twisting throughout all of time and space, the Doctor and his companions head to the Vanishing Point - a mythical place, said to exist somewhere between science and magic. But it is a journey from which they may never return.

Plot

Part one

The time tracks enter gridlock and Raven loses power on Station X45/0. The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe experience pain when they look at the scratch in reality where a Kipper was, but the Doctor is more resistant at touches it, making it disappear. The Kipper, he reasons, was powerless as it was stuck between two timelines by his refusal to do as Raven ordered. The two timelines fade away and the trio leave in the TARDIS, but the controls stop working after the Doctor boosts the ship's power to escape something's pull.

Avoiding the Kippers, Raven hears laughter and enters the station's secure unit where Celestin is attached to apparatus the purpose of which she does not know. She finds a Time Ring in Celestin's case, which she surmises he was given by the High Council, and offers to take him with her to escape. However, Celestin says that he must stay and she leaves without him.

The Doctor heads to the TARDIS library in frustration when he fails to bypass the TARDIS's controls and Jamie and Zoe follow him. Once they find the stolen book he was looking for, they head back to the control room where they see Raven in the Time Vortex trying to break in through the doors to escape the Kippers. The Doctor lets her in and jumpstarts the TARDIS with her Time Ring whilst Jamie and Zoe look through the book and read about the Vanishing Point; as Zoe reads it, tentacles grow out of it and grab her.

Part two

Made of energy, the tentacles cannot be removed from Zoe and they tell her about the Vanishing Point, a mythical observatory founded by the Morai. She receives the coordinates and feeds them into the TARDIS despite Raven's objections, but she and the TARDIS are both apparently killed before being revived by localised time energy. The ship materialises at the Vanishing Point with the help of the Morai Ananke and Aither, who believe that they could help with the strange resonances they have detected using their chronometric monitoring array, but Jamie disappears before the landing.
