Admission: I really enjoyed the first series of Class when it was on air way back in 2016, and felt the same about the first Big Finish release from the franchise two years later.

The jointly released third and fourth audio volumes are set within the timeline of the television series, and range from the very beginning of the character relationships through to where they were, ahem, abandoned…

Composer, Blair Mowat has teased it for some months, but now we’ve finally got a taste of the Class soundtrack, to be issued on CD and limited edition vinyl… and we’re very impressed!

Fandom has remained fairly split about the 2016 Doctor Who spin-off, Class, but the cover art (above) for the vinyl soundtrack is a thing of beauty. Viewers may recall that the scores for the series were great too,…

So the cat is, if not quite out of the bag, at the very least poking a paw through the zip with the news, unconfirmed by the BBC, that Doctor Who looks likely to have a 2018 Christmas special after all.

In one of those probably unintentional revelations that the programme is subject to from time to time, an entry on the online CV of editor, Edel McDonnell indicated he will be working the episode,…

Less than a year after it first concluded on BBC1, Doctor Who Series 10 is coming to Netflix UK next month… accompanied by divisive spin-off, Class.

In fact, viewers with access to the streaming service will get to enjoy Class before Series 10 (which seems fitting, seeing as the spin-off was available before the final series of the core show). Class is added on 3rd June, while Doctor WhoSeries 10…

It should come as no surprise to anyone who’s seen Exremis that the synopsis for The Lie of the Land reveals Michelle Gomez’s return as Missy! Extremis kicked off a three-part arc that carries on into next week’s The Pyramid at the End of the World, written by Peter Harness and Steven Moffat, and concludes with Toby Whithouse’s The Lie of the Land. This triptych features those pesky Truth Monks,…

There’s a notorious Big Finish story called Scherzo. It is a two-hander starring the Eighth Doctor and Charley. It is by turns brilliant and maddeningly infuriating – the distinctive, score-free atmosphere and surreal, ominous narrative rather let down by a rather tedious sub-plot, and in particular some lengthy conversations about Charley’s partially reciprocated feelings for her travelling…

I approached Brave-Ish Heart with some considerable trepidation. I wasn’t immediately enamoured with the Shadow Kin in For Tonight We Might Die, and thought it best if they were left until the series finale. Saying that, I really like April (Sophie Hopkins), and more time exploring her situation with Corakinus (Paul Marc Davis) could be interesting. Similarly, I had mixed feelings about Co-Owner…

That’s it: you’ve had nearly a whole week to enjoy The Metaphysical Engine, Or What Quill Did, a companion piece to Detained, just as Class is a sort of companion piece to Doctor Who, despite not actually featuring any of the Doctor’s companions. Phew. This is getting unnecessarily complicated. So what did you think of the episode? Was it unnecessarily complicated? Was it a masterpiece? Was it…

Here we are again: it’s Friday – the first of Advent 2016, no less – and that’s when we take an almost-weekly look at the wonders of Twitter, or more specifically, who Doctor Who fans should follow on the social network. As it’s Class Week at the DWC, and the finale’s less than 24 hours’ away, today’s #FollowFriday is the wonderful Patrick Ness! I’ve been a fan of Ness for a while now, having…

Following the news that Daniel Nettheim and Charles Palmer are returning to direct Doctor Who, it now seems that Class director, Wayne Yip will be working on Series 10 of the main show. Yip recently helmed the double-banked episodes, Detained and The Metaphysical Engine, Or What Quill Did, which saw the students trapped in a classroom (itself separated from space-time, seemingly by a comet),…

You’ve had nearly a week to watch Detained, the sixth episode of Doctor Who spin-off, Class, so now we want to know what you thought of it! This was a more experimental episode than previous storylines, seemingly ripping apart the unity of Charlie (Greg Austin), Matteusz (Jordan Renzo), Tanya (Vivian Oparah), Ram (Fedy Elsayed), and April (Sophie Hopkins) – and just as we were getting to know the…

We’re now more than halfway through Doctor Who spin-off, Class – its first series at least, and no, a second run hasn’t been confirmed, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed! In Brave-Ish Heart, April (Sophie Hopkins) faced up against the Shadow Kin, and her own dad, with Ram (Fady Elsayed) in tow. Meanwhile, Miss Quill (Katherine Kelly) discovered Charlie’s (Greg Austin) little secret – and both…

Fancy attending a special Class event in Cardiff next week? On Tuesday, November 15th BAFTA Cymru will host the event at the Cineworld Cardiff from 7:30pm where there will be a screening of episode 6: Detained and a special Q&A with cast members Sophie Hopkins, Vivian Oparah and Jordan Renzo. Joining them will be the show’s creator Patrick Ness. Hosted by Matt Lissack of Capital FM, Patrick Ness…
