ApathyMonger October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 Short interview with Ness: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/08/doctor-who-spinoff-class-patrick-ness “I want to show the world new stuff,” he says. “I want to have new things that maybe we haven’t seen before. That’s my goal. That’s what I’m aiming for — shock you with something new. Something like the Weeping Angels, which I think are great, are brand new. Steven Moffat invented them a couple seasons ago. There’s not going to be any weeping angels on , but I’m just saying that they’re something new to the universe that are just awesome, and I would like to do that.” Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32552-social-studies-class-in-the-media/#findComment-1585926

ApathyMonger January 9, 2016 Share January 9, 2016 A bunch of Tweets from Patrick Ness on what to expect from Class: https://twitter.com/Patrick_Ness So we're all on the same page about Class after yesterday's BBC America announcement... Class 1) is set in Coal Hill School with aliens & terror & emotions & shit2) will air on BBC3, then BBC1, with new ep then up on BBC33) will premiere on BBC3 & BBC1 this Autumn4) and VERY soon thereafter on BBC America, who are co-producing...5) is eight episodes long, written by yours truly (I'm working hard!)6) executive produced by Brian Minchin, Steven Moffat & me...7) a YA series but I'm aiming for what all the best YA does: stories for everyone and8) something I'm very excited about! Class aims for all that I love about YA: fearlessness of genre, fearlessness towards darkness, complex heroes & heroines and plots that move. Other than all that, why spoil everything now? There's cool stuff a-coming... 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32552-social-studies-class-in-the-media/#findComment-1856612

ApathyMonger April 4, 2016 Share April 4, 2016 “Time has looked at your faces now. And time never forgets…” What if your planet was massacred and you were the sole survivor? What if a legendary figure out of space and time found you a place to hide? But what if the things that want to kill you have tracked you down? And worst of all, what if you haven't studied for your A-Levels…? So, it sounds like one of the main characters is an alien refugee?

Torchwood annoyed me, but if you go by The Sarah Jane Adventures, the bar is actually set quite high on spinoff series. Okay, we can ignore K9 & Company, right? Hee.

darkestboy September 24, 2016 Share September 24, 2016 New cast photo ..... - The characters are Miss Quill (Katherine Kelly), a physics teacher with maybe an evil streak, the hapless leader and gay Charlie (Greg Austin), the passionate and caring Ram (Fady Elsayed), wise and mentally strong, April (Sophie Hopkins) and child prodigy Tanya (Vivian Oparah). - The characters are charged by the Doctor to take care of a great responsibility against some alien creatures. - Expect a gay sex scene in the third episode and also expect this show to be quite bloody in parts. - The first two episodes will drop on BBC3 from October 22nd. They are titled For Tonight We Might Die and The Coach With The Dragon Tattoo. - BBCAmerica however will not air the series until 2017 as they are pairing it with the tenth series of Doctor Who. Canada however plan to air it to coincide with UK transmission. - Peter Capaldi will be appearing in the first episode as the Doctor. - Other cast members include Jordan Renzo, Pooky Quesnel, Nigel Betts, Anna Schaffer, Paul Marc Davies and Shannon Murray. - Lucky people can see the first episode from October 20th at Class World Premiere in Shoreditch, London.
