* YouAreNotReady: Specifically stated by the First Doctor in ''The Sorcerer's Apprentice''; they have encountered a nanite network that allows those who access it to essentially wield magic, but this power could be used to terrifying extent.

* CliffHanger: ''The Well-Mannered War'' ends the novel line with one, as, through an evil plot by the Black Guardian, the Fourth Doctor and Romana are trapped in the TARDIS and unable to leave without causing a time paradox. We assume they got out of it.

** ''Evolution'' features Creator/ArthurConanDoyle and Creator/RudyardKipling.

* OriginsEpisode / StartOfDarkness: ''The Dark Path'', for the Master.

** ''The Plotters'' revolves around the Gunpowder Plot (Guy Fawkes, etc.).

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Similar to his method of "casting" [[Series/HouseOfCardsUK Ian Richardson]] in pretty much all of his Series/DoctorWho novels, Lance Parkin goes even further in ''Cold Fusion''. The characters Provost-General Tertullian Medford and Chief Scientist Whitfield are meant to be "played" by Terry Scott and June Whitfield, stars of 1980s sitcom ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_and_June Terry and June]]''!

* CrossOver: With the [[Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures New Adventures]] in ''Cold Fusion''. It featured the Fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan, along with the then current New Adventures team of the Seventh Doctor, Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej.

* GenteelInterbellumSetting: ''The English Way of Death''

* TwoRightsMakeAWrong: In ''Cold Fusion'', the Doctor does this to himself. There are some galaxy shattering grenades that can be disarmed by reversing the polarity of the neutron flow, which he does so he can fake out the villain by pretending that they've won when they send the duds to the target. Then his past self finds the grenades and re-reverses the polarity, thinking he's the one disarming them. Which means the bombs are live when sent to their target.
* WaxingLyrical: In the Fifth/Seventh team-up ''Cold Fusion'', Chris Cwej is posing as an Australian, and describes living in a close-knit community in a sunny suburb, where everyone pops in and out of each others' houses, before concluding "With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend and that's when good neighbours become good friends". Real Australian Tegan doesn't get the reference, having come from a time before ''{{Series/Neighbours}}'' began, but does spot he's talking nonsense.

* StockUnsolvedMysteries: The Lost Colony of Roanoke in ''Empire of Glass''.

* CaptainErsatz: Dave Stone, a regular writer for JudgeDredd comics, wanted to do an IntercontinuityCrossOver by Dredd. After his denial by Dredd's copyright holders, he went ahead and wrote ''Burning Heart'', in which the Sixth Doctor joins forces with a super-strict future cop with a face-concealing helmet on a futuristic motorcycle who goes by the nickname Stoneface. He even looks like Dredd in the cover painting. Conveniently, the Guild of Adjudicators established in the New Adventures was ''already'' pretty much the Mega-City One Justice Department.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Similar to his method of "casting" [[HouseOfCards Ian Richardson]] in pretty much all of his Series/DoctorWho novels, Lance Parkin goes even further in ''Cold Fusion''.

Since the line was intended to provide adventures that more-or-less easily slotted into gaps in previous television eras, the Missing Adventures generally tended to be less experimental in nature than the New Adventures, but they still often adopted the more adult and DarkerAndEdgier nature of the other novel range.
