When the [[Ninth Doctor]] brought [[Rose Tyler]] to [[1987]], she saved her father [[Peter Tyler]] when he was supposed to die in a car crash. She missed the attempt during her first visit, so the Doctor took her back again. He warned her not to interact with their other selves, but she ignored this warning when she saved her father; a wound in time was created by her intervention, and thus the Reapers were able to enter the universe, and begin "sterilising the wound" by feeding on [[human]]s. The Doctor and a handful of survivors managed to take refuge in an old [[church]], where he planned to bring [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] to them. Unfortunately, Rose touched her infant self, allowing a Reaper to enter the church, devour the Doctor and disrupt the TARDIS. The Reapers were expelled from the universe again when Peter restored the timeline by jumping in front of the car which should have killed him.

When the [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]], [[Eleventh Doctor|Eleventh]], and [[Twelfth Doctor]]s all arrived [[Paris]] [[1923]] at the same Cafe, a fight broke out between them, and two of them accidentally crossed fingers. This created a blast of temporal energy, known as the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]], which alerted the Reapers to the paradox. The Reapers entered the Cafe from the [[Vortex]] and began attacking the three and their companions. The Reapers took a strong interest in the Eleventh Doctor over the others, and began chasing after him as the cafe collapsed. Running through the square, he lead them past a comic stand which he had visited earlier and to one of the TARDISes parked in the city, which had already been disconnected from its interior by the beasts. Using the Blinovitch Effect once more, the three Doctors were able to connect the TARDIS shell to the [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s [[TARDIS control room]]. The Reapers were able to break into the TARDIS, however, and the Doctors began leading the Reaper inbetween the different TARDIS console rooms, dematerializing the ship once they were all inside. This moved them into the Vortex again, meaning that they would either have to leave or die.

* The name "Reaper" never actually appears on-screen. The script to ''[[Father's Day (TV story)|Father's Day]]'' described the Reapers as appearing as multiple [[Grim Reaper]]s who cut their victims down with their scythe. The idea of a more alien look for the Reapers came out of production team discussions. However, the comic ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'' does use the name to identify the creatures.
