* Ace was strongly implied to be the same [[Ace]] who travelled with the [[Seventh Doctor]], and both characters were played by [[Sophie Aldred]]. Various people involved, including Aldred, felt this was too blatant a copy of ''Doctor Who'' and feared that the BBC would send a legal warning over it. For this reason, she was renamed Alice in the second series of audios; [[Nigel Fairs]] suggested the name for its similarity to "Ace". | * Ace was strongly implied to be the same [[Ace]] who travelled with the [[Seventh Doctor]], and both characters were played by [[Sophie Aldred]].

* In the ''Republica'' novelisation, a cleric refers to Ace as a "myriad" and mentions four personas, including "Dorothy [the original Ace's real name] in the cyclone, Alice down the rabbit hole". The suggestion in ''Republica'' is actually that the framing device at the temple features the "proper" [[Seventh Doctor]] and Ace, as seen in the ''[[Virgin New Adventures]]'', while their identities as the Dominie and Alice for much of the story were a product of time being altered by an unknown party. At the end of the framing device, Ace remembers her mother watching ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'' on the television and loving it, suggesting her name is once again "Dorothy", but is unable to remember her adventure in the Protectorate except insofar as she saw images of it through the temple computer. She additionally assumes that the alterations in time were the fault of a mysterious "him" until the Professor admonishes her that there are others who can "meddle", suggesting the temple incident takes place after the ''Virgin New Adventures'' Doctor and Ace's battle with the [[First Monk|Meddling Monk]]. | * In the ''Republica'' novelisation, a cleric refers to Ace as a "myriad" and mentions four personas, including "Dorothy [the original Ace's real name] in the cyclone, Alice down the rabbit hole".
