Worldbuilding

• Quill is familiar with the Daleks, Gallifrey and the Time Lords.
• Charlie is not familiar with the Dalek, mistaking it for a robot.
• Identifying as a Dalek drone, the temporally displaced Dalek attempts to report to the Imperial Dalek mothership.
• Ace carries cans of homemade explosives.
• Ace calls the Dalek a racist.
• Quill mentions a Mr. Harris, the chemistry teacher.
• The Daleks mistake Quill and Charlie for humans.
• Quill jokes that she is suicidal on Monday mornings, with the school week ahead of her.
• Quill likens the Kaled mutant to a squid.
• From how she speaks of him, Ace deduces that Quill is familiar with a different regeneration of the Doctor than hers.

Shoreditch Incident

• Charlie realises that he is in the past when he learns that H. Parson is the headmaster of Coal Hill School.
• Though he has his mobile phone on his person, Charlie acknowledges that his contacts are not alive yet.
• The Dalek drone learns of their defeat in the Shoreditch Incident by accessing UNIT files via on the internet.
• The Dalek intends to return to 1963 and provide the information it has found to the Dalek battle computer, which will allow its faction of Daleks to learn and prevail in the Shoreditch Incident, changing the course of history.
• Briefly making contact with its colleagues in 1963, the drone tells them its information must be brought to the Emperor Dalek.
• Ace recalls the events of the Shoreditch Incident to Quill.
• Ace notes that she and the Seventh Doctor came to Shoreditch to deal with the Hand of Omega.
• As manipulated by the Doctor, the Imperial Daleks and Renegade Daleks fought each other for the Hand.
• The Doctor used the Hand of Omega to augment a baseball bat which Ace used to destroy several Daleks.
• The army helped to fight the Daleks with anti-tank rockets.
• The Doctor destroyed Skaro using the Hand of Omega. Quill recalls that this led to the Last Great Time War.
• Following the incident, the Doctor and Ace left to the TARDIS where the Doctor picked up signs of temporal abnormality in 2016, as well as a possible Dalek lifesign. However, before he and Ace could attend to it, they were distracted as the TARDIS was attacked.
• Ace fails to remember who attacked the TARDIS. She first suggests Fenric, but quickly remembers that was "later", she next suggests it was a Bandril timeship.

Notes

• This story ends with the previously unused "The End (Unused Alternative Ep8 Credits)", originally created for use for the credits of TV: The Lost.
• One of the first ideas or the first idea Scott Handcock had for Class: The Audio Adventures, when approached about doing the series and knew it would be happening, was linking and crossing Class over with the established, wider Doctor Who universe. The Daleks were the foremost idea to do this, and given the setting of Coal Hill and the tears, the decision was made to cross Class with Remembrance of the Daleks.
• This was Katherine Kelly's and Greg Austin's first Big Finish recording; in fact, their first day.
• Within this story, Sophie Aldred played both the older and younger versions of Ace, in 2016 and 1963 scenes respectively.
• Outside of Doctor Who, this is the first - and currently only - major appearance of the Daleks in media related to another TV series (not counting original audio series such as Dalek Empire and Dalek Wars).
• An excerpt of this story was initially made available to Big Finish newsletters subscribers. It was later made publicly available as a free download.
• According to Scott Handcock, there's an outtake of Quill proposing to the Dalek. Indeed, in her interview on the Big Finish Podcast, Katherine Kelly said that Quill and the Dalek had chemistry.
