* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Each episode.
** "100AD" is a SexComedy, [[SubvertedTrope except the couple in question just want to be left alone]], and the comedy comes from the Doctor and Evelyn's bungling attempts to sex things up while trying to undermine the other's plans.
** "My Own Private Wolfgang" is a high-concept BlackComedy.
** "Bedtime Story" is a [[{{Horror}} horror story]] about a witch's curse [[DoingInTheWizard given a scientific twist]].
** "100 Days Of The Doctor" is a MilestoneCelebration tour through ''Doctor Who'' that [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall leans on the fourth wall so hard it nearly falls over.]]

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: "The 100 Days Of The Doctor" is ''an entire episode'' of this (and the only one of the four to really go all-in on being [[MilestoneCelebration an anniversary episode]]). The Doctor talks about the audience watching, or perhaps listening, to him (the [[SpecialEffectsBeefUp pictures are so much better in audio, after all]]). He's talking, of course, about [[FourthWallPsych the Time Lords who keep an eye on him]]. He says he's [[CharacterDevelopment been given opportunity to grow]], since meeting Evelyn. When he and Evelyn see two Eighth Doctors, Charley, Lucie and C'Rizz, he comments on his life being "short and sweet", but it's turned out unexpectedly rich. (Both Creator/ColinBaker and Creator/PaulMcGann had bad luck in televised ''Who'', but their characters got a whole new lease of life on audio.) Evelyn talks about the sheer number of adventures [[Franchise/BerniceSummerfield Bernice has had]], notes how they only seem to be running into his Fifth-thru-Eighth selves[[note]]The only actors alive and interested at the time - Creator/TomBaker wouldn't join for another few years[[/note]]and [[Audioplay/{{Gallifrey}} how she enjoyed the political intrigue of Gallifrey.]]
** My own Private Mozart as well, especially in the last scene.

* NastyParty: One of the three bodies of the Lustresness of the Vyx sets up the inauguration party the 5th Doctor is attending as a trap, wanting all the power itself. Fortunately the 5th Doctor is able to sort it out.

* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: My own private Mozart starts out with what seems to be a SpecialEditionThemeSong of the Doctor Who theme... Until it abruptly stops, as Mozart is not pleased with his new composition.

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: The Doctor and Evelyn end up getting considered this by Julius and Aurelia, who are planning a romantic evening however 6 and Evelyn keep spoiling it.
* TimeSkip: The 100 days of the Doctor takes some breaks in between.
* TimeStandsStill: The dead in "Bedtime story".

* YouAlreadyChangedThePast: To Mozart's famous legacy and requim.

** "100AD" is a SexComedy, [[SubvertedTrope except the couple in question just want to be left alone]], and the comedy comes from the Doctor and Evelyn' bungling attempts to sex things up while trying to undermine the other's plans.

* BadEnding: "Bedtime Story".
** TheBadGuyWins

* ContinuitySnarl: "The 100 Days Of The Doctor", being a Creator/PaulCornell episode, gleefully creates a whole load of snarl, with the Doctor meeting Benny and seeing Charley long before he's "supposed" to, and both of whom, for plot-related reason, he ''can't'' know about. Don't try to think about it too hard. (If one really has to, keep in mind what Six says to Evelyn about how the adventures they're seeing of "future" Doctors aren't necessarily from the future of ''his'' timeline, as well [[HandWave as the fact the Doctor mentions the virus damaging his memory]]).

** "100AD" is a SexComedy, [[SubvertedTrope except the couple just want to be left alone]], and the Doctor and Evelyn keep bungling the sexy bits or trying to upset the other's plans.
** "My Own Private Wolfgang" is a BlackComedy.

* {{Asexuality}}: When Evelyn sees Peri and Erimem and calls them "Pretty young things." the Doctor replies with "[[ChasteHero Perhaps]]" and how the arm around Erimem is "merely platonical".

The TARDIS interrupts an invitation for a concert by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, so the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn decide to go see it. Evelyn's not exactly a huge fan of Mozart: his early work was alright, but throughout the 20th century, all he's focused on is rap and bad film scores. She doesn't actually believe that he's a real person (after all, no one can live that long), and supposes that Mozart has to be a kind of brand name.

* AlanSmithee: The Doctor and Evelyn discuss that "Mozart" could have been this.

** "100AD" is a SexComedy, [[SubvertedCouple except the couple just want to be left alone]], and the Doctor and Evelyn keep bungling the sexy bits or trying to upset the other's plans.

* BerserkButton: When the Doctor realizes something has happened to Evelyn in "Bedtime story".
* BluffingTheMurderer: The Doctor in 100 days of the Doctor, when he confronts the assassin.

* CallForward: Evelyn mentions Mozart in 100 BC, the first of the four.

* CommonKnowledge: InUniverse Evelyn has the misconception that Julius Caesar was the first person brought into the world through a cesarean section, the first of which was performed in the 19th century.
** [[IdiotBall And her being a history lecturer, she should have known that one]].
* ContinuitySnarl: "The 100 Days Of The Doctor" is the biggest one in all of Creator/BigFinish. Don't try to think about it too hard. (If one really has to, keep in mind what Six says to Evelyn about how the adventures they're seeing of "future" Doctors aren't necessarily from the future of ''his'' timeline, as well [[HandWave as the fact the Doctor mentions the virus damaging his memory]])

* DealWithTheDevil: Mozart is visted on his death bed by someone that gives him an elongated life in trade for a symphony a year.

* DownerEnding: Bedtime story.

* HaveWeMetYet: It turns out the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn first met Aurelia when she was having Julia, rather then when they first met her.

* IdiotBall: "100 B.C." is a (somewhat jarring) example of both the Doctor and Evelyn carrying a big giant IdiotBall.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: "The 100 Days Of The Doctor" is ''an entire episode'' of this. The Doctor talks about the audience (meaning Time Lords), and says he thought his tenure would be short and sweet, but he's been given opportunity to grow. Evelyn talks about the sheer number of adventures Bernice has had. Etc.

* ActingForTwo: John Sessions plays everybody but the Doctor and Evelyn in "My own Private Mozart."

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: The Doctor and Evelyn end up getting considered this by Julius and Aurelia.

* PutRightWhatOnceWentWrong: The Doctor tries to set history back on track, thinking his and Evelyn's intervention has led to Julius Caesar being born a girl. Evelyn thinks it will be better for the world and tries sabotaging his efforts. It turns out, however, they got the dates wrong, and history is on track, all they did was annoy the Caesars.

* NastyParty: One of the three bodies of the Lustresness of the Vyx sets up the inauguration party the 5th Doctor is attending as a trap, wanting all the power itself. Fortunately the 5th Doctor is able to sort t

* DrivenToSuicide: In a way, Jacob.
