Taking advantage of the fact that Rory spent 2000 years guarding the Pandorica, Big Finish decided to use that to tell somewhat wacky and humorous misadventures Rory had throughout history.
----
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: The audios reveal that he was the basis for [[Literature/SirGawainAndTheGreenKnight Gawain]] during his time in Camelot which makes him even more of a LivingLegend. Ironically in the myths Gawain is associated with locations in Scotland and had a son with a fey, which brings to mind River who is a child of the TARDIS and part-Time Lord.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He fights '''Myth/{{Merlin}}''' of all people and wins, though admittedly Merlin simply abandoned the fight since Rory's actions had made it impossible for him to become the new king of Camelot.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Granted he's trying to keep his identity a secret, but Rory seems to often forget he has a gun in his hand which he could use to scare away his enemies.
* HitmanWithAHeart: He briefly became the personal asassin of the empress of Rome. As you can guess, he was terrible at the job and ended up bribing his targets to fake their deaths.
* ImmortalityHurts: The audios establish early on that while his body does apparently heal from damage despite the Doctor's warnings that damage was permanant, including fire as his hand was melted when he grabs a torch and it looks fine by the time of ''The Big Bang'', he still feels pain.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Even if it's justified as he is immortal, he still ends up with an insane list of job titles. Back in Leadworth he was a nurse and still calls himself that when trying to help someone with a medical issue, but so far he has been: a gladiator, an assassin, an emperor, a physcian's apprentice which he mentions is still basically a nurse, and a knight. The only job he actually wanted was to be an apprentice as the rest were forced on him by other people.
* PinballProtagonist: He is this as no matter how hard he tries he can't seem to avoid dangerous situations and ofen people are manipulating events either to get the Pandorica or to control him better. If he had his way he would stay under the radar and keep watch over the Pandorica without getting invovled with anyone.
* RefusalOfTheCall: Well, he tries to avoid crazy adventures at least which makes him a little better than the Doctor who often goes looking for them. Everytime he tries to say no however it's often to someone with more political and social power than him who could have him executed, so he has to go and do what they want the best he can.
* ReluctantRuler: He briefly becomes the new Caeser before abdicating due the problems it caused.
* ReluctantWarrior: Like on the show he does everything he can to avoid fighting, but is ready to do so if he has no choice and to defend the few friends he has.
* RoleReprise: Arthur Darvill comes back as Rory nine years since he left the role.
* TrueCompanions: Becomes this with Lancelot despite the latter's crush on Rory.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: “[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoTEAS3E2TheFifthTraveller The Crash of the UK-201]]” sees Vicki become essentially unstuck in time, allowing her to go back to the crash that killed her father with the goal of saving his life. She succeeds in this goal and goes on to marry and have children, but [[spoiler:when she jumps back in time to change her history after one or the other of her children die in a war, she causes so many changes that she doesn’t even give birth to the same children as she had before]].
* SpannerInTheWorks: Vicki is a particular problem to the plans of the villain in “[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoTEAS3E2TheFifthTraveller The Fifth Traveller]]”; [[spoiler:Jospa has been able to manipulate the desires of the Doctor, Ian and Barbara to go along with his plans, but Vicki just wants to keep travelling, so she has nothing Jospa could compel her to want more so that he can control her]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The episode "The Reaping" loves this trope. Peri returns home, years later from her perspective, and four months later in her mother's normal timeline. Things go ''very, very wrong''.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Several episodes have her dealing with the realization that she will [[YouCantGoHomeAgain never see]] her family again due to them thinking she's dead. She does, eventually, in "The Fall of the House of Pollard"; though her father is happy to see her, her mother gives her a well played WhatTheHellHero moment and Charley takes a moment to remunerate on the fallout her "death" left behind. It goes FromBadToWorse.

* ContinuitySnarl: Good luck working out if there's one, two or more Aces, and just where one begins and the other ends. Early on, Big Finish considered themselves in continuity with the Literature/VirginNewAdventures and Literature/PastDoctorAdventures (and specifically, Ace's history with Benny). Then they decided to politely ignore them. Now, with their more holistic approach to continuity, Ace can share new adventures with Franchise/BerniceSummerfield and there's adaptations of old ones, but it's difficult to say whether they come before or after her adventures with Hex[[note]]Not helped by the fact that [[DependingOnTheWriter different writers had different ideas about whether they were writing post-Survival young Ace or post-Deceit soldier Ace]], often in consecutive episodes[[/note]]. Her appearances in ''AudioPlay/{{Gallifrey}}'' and ''Series/Class2016'' mean her history through the Time War and up to the new series is actually quite simple, but what exactly happened to her between [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E4Survival "Survival"]] and then is much more complicated. Numerous stories have attempted to straighten it out:

* TheBusCameBack: In Dalek Universe Two,[[spoiler: The Lost, an alien entity, imitates Ann to taunt the Tenth Doctor about her "death."]]
* DeathOfPersonality: [[spoiler: Anya's remanifestation effectively kills Ann's personality, and there is no way of getting Ann back.]]
* FlatCharacter: As a way of playing on the way the Doctor has companions, Ann is fairly basic, with a few hidden depths but not many. [[spoiler: but of course, this in a way was foreshadowing for Anya's reveal. It makes sense for Ann to be a sort of basic personality.]]

Secret Agent Anya Kingdom returns in Dalek Universe, investigating a downed spaceship crash, and encounters the Doctor once more, wearing a new face.

* WalkingSpoiler: She's the biggest twist in the Fourth Doctor Adventures, but that doesn't stop her from showing up in Dalek Universe without any warning.

Susan's son and the Doctor's great-grandson. Seems to have taken the whole "Surprise! You're half-alien!" thing quite well after the initial shock, considering Earth was pretty xenophobic while he was growing up.
