Tropes used:
- Acting for Two: This is done with David Tennant's Doctor in Episode 4, after the TV series confirmed his deferred regeneration in "Journey's End" was an official regeneration.
- Keith Hodiak's performance as the Raston Warrior Robot is also edited to make him play a whole group of robots while, in reality, there was only one.
- Adaptation Expansion: The scene where the Doctors save Gallifrey is much longer here than in the original show, and shows more of the classic Doctors.
- It is also an expansion of a corresponding scene from Babelcolour's Time War Chronicles videos. Also a case of Once More, with Clarity!.
- Alien Geometries: After the First Doctor has beamed Doctors 2-10 aboard his ship, another TARDIS materialises in the console room. It is revealed to contain the interior of every present Doctor's TARDIS, allowing them all to board their separate ships by entering a single police box.
- Aliens in Cardiff: The Sontarans literally try to invade Cardiff while the Doctors happen to be there. Though it's Cardiff in medieval times, so it's a slightly unusual version of this trope.
- Ambiguous Time Period: As a subtle joke about the UNIT dating controversy, the battle against Omega is merely dated as "The 20th Century".
- BBC Quarry: The planet Raston is portrayed with footage of all the various planets from the show that have been shot in these.
- Big Damn Heroes: Happens quite a few times. It is basically the Doctors' role throughout the story. They end up in the middle of ongoing conflicts, defeat the bad guys, and save themselves by saving their earlier incarnations. Some specific examples:
- The Tenth Doctor arriving at the Omega-battle with an anti-Dalek device.
- The First Doctor saving his future incarnations from the Sontarans.
- The Raston Warrior Robots which show up and take out the Daleks and Cybermen just seems like a case of Villainous Rescue at first, but they are eventually revealed to be an example of this trope.
- The Twelfth Doctor and K-9 bringing the other Doctors' TARDISes to the Dark Dimension and immobilising the Evil Doctor.
- And finally the biggest one: the Doctors saving Gallifrey.
- The Cameo: Steven Taylor, Dodo Chaplet, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Sergeant Benton, Jo Grant, Corporal Palmer, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright, and the General (the Time Lord who served at Arcadia when it fell) appear throught the story in small roles.
- Some Ogrons appear during the first Dalek battle. Afterwards, they disappear with no explanation.
- Captain Obvious: Dodo's line "Doctor, you've vanished!" is exclaimed to the Doctor just after he has vanished. Also the Brigadier's line "This could be construed as an invasion" becomes this.
- Cerberus Syndrome: For the most part, the story has a pretty simple action plot, with some dramatic scenes. Once the Doctors enter the Dark Dimension, however, the plot becomes much darker.
- Changed My Jumper: While hiding in Cardiff Castle, the First Doctor and Ian have disguised themselves as a soldier and a knight, respectively. The Eightth Doctor also seems to wear a monk's robe.
- Cliffhanger: All episodes but the last one end with one of these.
- Episode 1: A Dalek enters the battlefield.
- Episode 2: The Doctors are apparently shot dead.
- Episode 3: The Big Bad reveals himself to be the Doctor.
- Create Your Own Villain: The Evil Doctor was accidentally created by the War Doctor when he destroyed Gallifrey.
- Credits Gag: The titles for Episode 1 start out in black-and-white before gaining colour when Jon Pertwee's name shows up.
- Deus ex Machina: The anti-Dalek device and the Sontarans' weapons being non-lethal initially appear to be this. However, the twist ending reveals that there actually is a logical reason for these.
- Enemy Civil War: The fight against Omega becomes this when the Daleks and Ogrons arrive, as they are just as willing to attack the anti-matter monsters as UNIT's soldiers.
- The Doctors later end up in the middle of a three-way shootout between the Daleks, Cybermen, and Raston Worrior Robots. Subverted when it turns out that the Robots are actually on the Doctors' side.
- Evil Twin: The Big Bad is an alternate, evil version of the Doctor. Complete with deep voice and Evil Laugh.
- Evolving Credits: Episode 4 has different opening credits than the rest. They seem to be partially based on the Twelfth Doctor's opening credits.
- Expy: An evil, alternate incarnation of the Doctor who tries to become real by stealing the life force of his other selves. Are we sure we're not talking about the Valeyard? Also, before his identity is revealed he seems very similar to Doctor Claw from Inspector Gadget.
- Flat "What.": The Fourth and Tenth Doctors do this back to back. The Fourth Doctor points out that he is saying this way too often.
- In fact, this trope is pretty much a Running Gag.
- Foreshadowing: An accidental example, but Episodes 1-3 feature connections to all three multi-Doctor adventures of the Classic Series. What does the fourth episode include? Why, a tie-in to the big multi-Doctor adventure of the New Series, of course.
- Hijacked by Ganon: The first rescue mission starts out as a battle against Omega's anti-matter monsters. Once the Daleks enter the battlefield, they take over the role as the primary antagonists.
- Insult Backfire: This exchange."Lord President": It is beyond the comprehension of your puny mind.Fourth Doctor: Yes my pu- Well it may be puny, but it works!
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The first proper line in Episode 4, which came out after a lengthy Schedule Slip.Evil Doctor: Years have passed and I have waited.
- Meanwhile, in the Future...: The Sontaran invasion - which takes place in 1415 - is given the subtitle "Meanwhile". Though it's unclear when exactly the Doctors are at the moment (the "Lord President" only tells them where the First Doctor is), so this might not actually be inaccurate.
- Mr. Exposition: K-9, the Evil Doctor, the Twelth Doctor, and the Tenth Doctor are all this at various points, as they are all portrayed by impressionist Jonathon Carley and Babelcolour himself, not stock audio from the show. (Though Ten still has David Tennant's original voice in some of his scenes.)
- Once an Episode: The Doctors end up in the middle of a battle between two or three other sides, and make it out alive thanks to a solution devised by Eleven (though we don't know that he's involved until the last episode).
- Percussive Maintenance: We get a montage of the Second, Tenth, Fifth, Eighth, Ninth, and Twelfth Doctors all doing this.
- Pinball Protagonist: The various incarnations of the Doctor border on this, as they realise that part of the adventure is Already Done for You. Though this is a unusual example, as the man who went there and did it is their future self. We're just not seeing it from his perspective.
- Also, the Big Bad and his victims are alternate and previous versions of the same man, respectively. This means that aside from K-9, the Doctor is the only character with a major role in the story.
- Running Gag: The jelly babies make an appearance, albeit offered to Four (by Two). not by him.
- Stock Footage: The bulk of the story consists of this, taken from both Who and other sources. Notably, the Evil Doctor is portrayed by Stock Footage of Dr. Totenkopf from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, who was himself portayed by stock footage of Laurence Olivier.
- Talking to Himself: Jonathon Carley's impression of David Tennant (and briefly Paul McGann) was used in Episode 4 to explain Eleven's involvement in the previous episodes. At one point, Seven brings up the Raston Warrior Robots, but Ten interrupts him, stating that the Evil Doctor already got the point of the conversation. Seven's small line about the robots was also done by Carley.
- Unexpected Character: None of the trailers revealed that K-9 would show up.
- Unfazed Everyman: Ian and Barbara just kind of stand around and look bewildered as nine unknown men and another TARDIS (containing nine different TARDISes) suddenly appear in the console room.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Many medieval extras barely seem to react to the invading aliens who land around the castle. Or the teleporting police boxes, for that matter. Maybe they think it's just a trick with mirrors.
- Wham Episode: Episode 4, both for this story and the TV show (though, being a fan-made production, it's not canon). Let's count all the big reveals.
- Eleven contacted the other Doctors before the story began and warned them about the plans of "the Lord President". The entire story was their attempt to rescue their previous two incarnations from him.
- The Third Doctor says that he is thousands of years old, surprising his later incarnations, who are supposed to be younger.
- ...Which later leads to the reveal that the Doctor had ten incarnations before his childhood on Gallifrey - the Morbius Doctors.
- It is revealed what the Medusa Cascade has to do with the Doctor's name.
- We even find out why the Doctor was crying in that barn.
- There is a scene where the Doctor's life is shown in reverse. We see all of the Doctors before landing on the First Doctor who lands at Foreman's Junkyard, travels through the Time Vortex, steals a TARDIS, and has a nightmare as a child. Then it continues, showing footage of a young Doctor running across the fields of Gallifrey. Something that has never been shown in Doctor Who.
- Then there's the climax, where all the Doctors defeat the villain by... freezing Gallifrey. Yes, this story is a fan-made P.O.V. Sequel to "Doctor Who 50th AS "The Day of the Doctor"", meaning that some fans had already seen the story of how the Doctors met before they started asking how it happened. (Though this only applies if you watch it without having seen Babelcolour's Time War Chronicles videos, which revealed the same thing.)
