Apologies, I wasn't aiming to sound frustrated or angry.

This thread feels like it's going to be closed soon, so I felt the need to raise the - in my opinion quite important - point. It's something that just hasn't been mentioned much in this thread.

When it comes to the 2017 business, Tardis:In-universe perspective clearly says that all narratives have equal weight. In FftF the Doctor says he has to go back to 2017, in TP the Doctor says that he thought he had to go back to the Vault. Not all episodes of Class specify themselves to be set in 2016, but the fact that some of them do is enough to say that all of them do. Similarily, one story indicating Bill's native era to be 2017 should be enough to say that all stories set in Bill's native era are set in 2017 (unless, you know, there's something to indicate otherwise).

As far as I'm aware, the only technicality that overrules Tardis:In-universe perspective is the one for adaptations, and if anything's an adaptation in this situation, it's The Pilot.
