In regards to In Remembrance... {Spoiler} DWM says that Charlie (and presumably Quill too) is transported to 1963 London, so perhaps it takes place during Remembrance of the Daleks?

In addition to that {Spoiler} Their interview with Sophie Aldred mentions she will be playing both a grown-up Ace after her travels, and a 16 year-old Ace during Remembrance of the Daleks

Why do these have the DW logo on them - surely they're a completely separate license?

Torchwood is Definitely a separate licence according to Scott Handcock so we shouldn't expect other DW characters in it (means Yvonne's status could have changed so she's used by permission from RTD as her creator). Class is part of the DW Licence hence the appearance of Ace and the Daleks.

That's how I've understood it - hence BF getting the Torchwood licence separately from the new series Doctor Who one and also why none of the Lives Of Captain Jack were TW stories - and his boxset did have the "From The Worlds..." branding. So he was "Doctor Who's Captain Jack" in that release rather than Torchwood's

Everybody Loves Reagan
That was very good! Reagan was an interesting menace.

I really enjoyed both volumes. Generally very solid stories all the way through, and my favorites were the Roy Gill and Guy Adams stories, so things also started and ended very nicely on high notes for me. I'd be extremely happy to hear more Class releases of comparable quality. Ideally, also comparable in quantity - the total runtime for the both really seemed to facilitate some wonderful focus on individual characters without feeling like it was excluding anyone (it was also quite nice just to spend that much time immersed in the stories), and there must be great potential for more interesting pairings like Tanya and Matteusz, which I really liked. Two more boxsets just like those, please (only with different stories, of course). :-)

I must say, even with all the continuity fest (NAs Hitler reference, A Charitable Earth, the Time War, Time Lord Academy, etc.), In Remembrance was a fantastic story and really enjoyable, probably the best of this volume (thanks to the banter between Quill and Ace, or should I say Dorothy?). Great way to celebrate 30 years of RotD! Wonder if A Charitable Earth (ACE) will play any part in a possible second series of Class, what with the whole heroes of tomorrow thing and all that. Still, a great way to build on Ace's backstory and that quick comment in SJA all those years ago. And speaking of which, hope we see some of the SJA gang working for ACE somewhere down the line. Thinking about all the possibilities have me so terribly excited!

Now You Know... An unexpected combination of characters (I can't remember them really spending much time together in the actual series), which gives an interesting dynamic. Another interesting villain too.
In Remembrance Ace and Quill is a genius combination, they clash spectacularly. Ace is served very well-attacking a Dalek in a ball gown! The hints about A Charitable Earth are a nice touch, I hope we get to hear more of what 'present day' Ace is up to somewhere.
I very much enjoyed Big Finish's take on Class, hope we get some more (there's a certain cliffhanger just begging for a follow-up).

I'll be (pleasantly) surprised if we see more of that in the near future; three different time periods of Ace seems like it might be one too many. Maybe if/when she's no longer part of the Gallifrey cast...
