!!Recorded Time

The Doctor and Peri end up in medieval England, in the court of Henry the VIII. It seems they were summoned, the Doctor to save the people... And Peri ''to marry the king''.

* BlessedWithSuck: The Scrivener. Can warp reality itself, but everything he does costs bits of his life, and his father died and bestowed the curse upon him, and he's already an old man beyond his years.
* CallForward: For the Doctor's personal timeline, he'd later [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho006TheMarianConspiracy indeed meet Queen Anne's daughter]], and [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor marry the other]].
* CastFromLifespan: How the use of the quill of the Temporal Phoenix works.
* DarkAgeEurope
* DeaderThanDead: The quill of the Temporal Phoenix cannot bring back someone from the dead who has already passed away before it came into posession of the Scrivener.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Scrivener.
* GeniusLoci: The castle quite literally opens itself up to the Doctor and Peri, creating a pathway for them to follow. Turns out this is the fault of the Scrivener.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[Main/HenryVIII Henry the VIII]].
* IronicEcho:
--> '''The Doctor''': It was written...
* LampshadeHanging
--> '''The Doctor''': England! I wasn't expecting that!
* [[MistakenForServant Mistaken For Jester]]: The Doctor, because of his [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim very obvious garb]], gets mistaken for a fool.
* MusicOfNote: Peri performs "Green sleeves" with a little dance.

* RealityWarper: The Scrivener, whatever he writes, will be, because of the quill of a Temporal Phoenix.
** RewritingReality
* RedRightHand: Henry has the Scrivener give Queen Anne an extra finger, to "prove" she's a witch.
* {{Seers}}: The Scrivener in Henry's castle writes about present events as well as the future. [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble But considers it all history]].
* ToiletHumor: Henry VIII asks the Doctor (thinking he's a court jester) if he has any good "Bottom" jokes. (Jokes pertaining to the bottom.)
* YouCantFightFate: Queen Anne stays behind and suffers the fate the Scrivener wrote for her, as opposed to try and get the Doctor to rescue her.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: The Scrivener.

!!Paradoxicide
The Doctor is working on the TARDIS when it receives a message from the legendary lost planet of Sendos. And the originator of the message is ''Peri''. She and the Doctor investigate.

* AdvancedAncientAcropolis: Sendos.
* AmazonBrigade: The Volsci are a race of these.
* BadassBoast: See also CallBack.
* BFG: The particle cannons can blow up huge caves guarded by blast walls.
* CallBack: When asked why he would make a good guide, the Doctor [[BadassBoast boasts]] he's been to the [[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors Dark Tower in the Death Zone]], the city of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E3DeathToTheDaleks Excillon]] and and the Tombs of the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E1TheTombOfTheCybermen Cybermen on Telos]].
* ComputerVoice: "Ship".
* DeadlyGas
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Volsci die by triggering the traps they were so careless to ignore, despite the Doctor warning them.
* MenActWomenAre: Though this is described as a ''weakness'' for men, that women are more analytical.
* ThePlague: Is what wiped out the people on Sendos.
* {{Pun}}: When Peri asks the Doctor "What's the racket", he asks back why she's concerned with tennis.
** Later another one "Su-Perri-or" alerts Perri to what she could do to save the Doctor.
** The end has the Doctor go into the deep end and unleashes his full PungeonMaster onto Peri. Peri-lous.
* RagnarokProofing: The traps in the vault are still active. Though it's unsure how much time has passed since it was abandoned.
* StableTimeLoop: Of course Peri recorded the message that lured the Doctor in, during the course of this story.
* TimeCrash

!! A most excellent match:

Peri is to be wed, as is expected of a lady of her standing, but which one of her suitors shall be her choice of wedlock? Will it be the handsome Mr. Darcy, or the enigmatic ... Doctor?

Hang on [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness what exactly is going on here?]]

* ArtificialIntelligence: There is one in every story as one of the characters. In this case it's Tilly Brown, Peri's InUniverse "Sister".
* BaitAndSwitchComparison: Early on we encounter the Doctor writing a sonnet. Later when Peri receives one, she mentions how standoffish and arrogant the writer first seemed, and that he was quite tall (Which she finds attractive), but that this [[JerkassWithAHeartOfGold shines him in a different light]]. Turns out it was written by Mr. Darcy.
* CallForward: The Doctor is a big fan of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E3TheUnquietDead Charles Dickens]].

* LotusEaterMachine: Where the Pride and Prejudice plot takes place.

* JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: Mr. Darcy, and the Doctor shows a more tender side he doesn't show often.
* RedHerring: When the Mindsmith fails to take over Peri's body, it says there are other more ''interesting'' candidates. When the Doctor's legs stop working you think he's having a go for him, but instead he's going for the AI first.
* WholePlotReference: To ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice''.
