Time Reaver is another example of the effort Big Finish puts into reproducing the era of a particular Doctor. Time Reaver would have sat very comfortably in the Tennant canon of televised Doctor Who and could very easily have been filmed. It is on a par with stories like Planet of the Dead and New Earth. The Doctor and companion arrive on a planet for mundane reasons (needing a spare available only from a scrap yard) and behind the scenes on the planet something nasty is cooking away. The Doctor steps in, takes charge, defeats a blobby baddy, and the powers that be have to change their ways. In between there are some funny bits, with Donna really winding up the Doctor's know-it-all pomposity, and some emotional bits, with more of Donna's growing maturity. There are no surprises, but it is quite a bit of fun.

This was a fantastic example of Big Finish's take on the 10th Doctor and Donna. The characterizations are a bit exaggerated during some moments, but in this story, it doesn't happen all that often. The story and setting are both classic Big Finish, but with David Tennant and Catherine Tate playing Doctor and Companion.
I will say, however, the last 10-15 minutes is a bit of a mess, but the rest of the audio flows really well from one idea to the next. Easily the best of the box set.
