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’s a shame to end Class Week on a rather negative note, but with the show resigned solely to online (for now…), it’s interesting to see its viewing figures. These haven’t actually been revealed, but we can at least infer them from the Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board’s (BARB) TV Player Report, which takes into account the weeks in which For Tonight We Might Die and The Coach with the…

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…

Students, students! Settle down! Yes, you in the back. I see you. Alright, who’s the wise guy who wrote “K9 and Company” on the board? Anyway, welcome to “Night Class”, where we’ll be analysing each episode of BBC Three’s Doctor Who spin-off, Class, and its reception. Tonight’s episode is For Tonight We Might Die, written by Patrick Ness, who also wrote this whole season as well as the Fifth…

Imagine you work for OFSTED. Instead of grabbing a pencil, shaking your head whenever someone swears, and scribbling in a notepad, why not tell us your thoughts? Not just on anything, however. We want to know what you think of the second episode of Doctor Who spin-off, Class. You’ve had around 72 hours to watch the double-bill that kick-started Class on BBC Three, and following For Tonight We…

Following the premiere of the first two episodes of Class on BBC Three, the BBC has released the synopsis for the fourth episode of the Doctor Who spin-off. There are minor spoilers, so if you’re averse to them, avoid this article, at least until you’ve seen the show’s premise being set up! While the third episode, Nightvisiting, seems to focus on Vivian Oparah’s Tanya, the fourth –…

Let it be said, Class may be derivative but boy is it fun. Caring not a jot and happily pointing out just how knowing it is, when it’s firing on all cylinders, Class is an energetic, charming and witty ride: it’s not perfect but it’s off to a great start. Judging the show based on the first episode seems a little premature – this is probably the one time where launching with a double bill isn’t…

It’s been a long time coming, but Class is finally here. The first two episodes are available right now on BBC Three. (Check out how you can watch it, if you haven’t already!) Written by Patrick Ness (A Monster Calls) and directed by Ed Bazalgette (The Girl Who Died), For Tonight We Might Die introduced us to Charlie (Greg Austin), April (Sophie Hopkins), Tanya (Vivian Oparah), Ram (Fady…

We’ve been rubbing our hands together in anticipation for the new Doctor Who spin-off, Class – but it premieres on BBC Three, which, earlier this year, moved online. So how do you watch it? Most obviously, you can watch the channel on the internet. Hence the word “online”. Clever, eh? You do this by watching any streaming programme on the iPlayer website; the digital channel has its own section,…

Does The Mail on Sunday know something we don’t, or is it a simple error? In yesterday’s supplement, the newspaper chose Class as this Saturday’s “Pick of the Day” – which bodes well, but further raises questions about exactly how many episodes the Twelfth Doctor will appear in… Now, we already know Peter Capaldi’s incarnation of the Time Lord is in the first episodes, For Tonight We Might Die,…

Unbelievably, it’s less than a week until Class debuts on BBCThree, with two episodes airing on Saturday 22nd October. Now, the BBC has released the synopsis for Episode Three, Nightvisiting – and it sounds pretty spooky! (Naturally, minor spoilers follow.) The story appears to focus mainly around Vivian Oparah’s character, Tanya, but the other lead cast are naturally soon drawn into the action:…

We really are being spoiled this weekend, aren’t we? Not only do we get a brief look at this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, but we also get a Class trailer featuring the Twelfth Doctor. No, wait, hang on – make that two trailers for Class! Oh yes, we have a second look at this spin-off set at Coal Hill School Academy. While the Doctor took up much of the first…

Details about the upcoming Doctor Who spin-off are creeping out, and frankly, it’s about time! The BBC has released the synopses for the first two episodes of Class, and they’re certainly intriguing: 1. For Tonight We Might Die It’s a new term at Coal Hill Academy, and students are preparing for their Autumn Prom. But when the school comes under attack from the monstrous Shadow Kin, four…

Peter Capaldi will be in the first episode of Doctor Who spin-off, Class – which debuts on Saturday 22nd October! The Doctor will crop up in For Tonight We Might Die, enlisting the help of four alienated students and their teacher at Coal Hill Academy, Charlie (Greg Austin), April (Sophie Hopkins), Ram (Fady Elsayed), Tanya (Vivian Oparah), and Physics tutor, Miss Quill (Katherine Kelly). The…
