What did You Think of Class Episode 1?
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 alienated students must form an unlikely alliance to defeat them.
Charlie, April, Ram and Tanya, assisted by their physics teacher Miss Quill, are now charged with a great responsibility by the mysterious alien known as ‘The Doctor’: to guard against the creatures of nightmare, who want nothing more than to find a way through to Earth and take it for their own.
And this incursion is only the beginning…
Class is available to order on DVD or blu-ray from www.amazon.co.uk

Doctor Stu
October 23rd, 2016 - 12:53amI wish it was darker and gorier too but it’s not likely to happen unless it shifts really steadily like the trend of swear words slipping into soaps like coronation street and eastenders if anyone gets what I’m trying to say. It would be like that but with doctor who getting slightly darker as each series passes by
Doctor Stu
October 23rd, 2016 - 12:51amDoctor who used to have lots of dark themes and death (not gore as you said it’s a family show) in series 1-4 and the specials (basically everything Russell T Davies) but now it seems as if it’s gotten more for younger kids. It’s gone the opposite of Harry Potter as the films got darker and became more for teens doctor who was dark and is now more for kids

October 23rd, 2016 - 12:47amIt wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be

October 23rd, 2016 - 12:36amThe governors.. That brings up an interesting topic.. Ian was/is Chairman of the governors… And Mr armhatige said not to upset the governors… What if the governors are the doctors secret army that watch over the school..? Or, coal hill has been infiltrated by robot assassins that are hunting the doctor..? But why would the Ofsted inspector of wanted ‘miss quill’ if they were after the doctor? Maybe they are some sort of new intergalactic police making sure there isn’t another zygon incident and they want Charlie and miss quill since they’re not from earth?

October 23rd, 2016 - 12:30amUnless they actually wore school uniforms and that was charley remembering
Doctor Stu
October 23rd, 2016 - 12:23amI thought it was really good I’d read all the negative reviews but tbh it was better than some of the episodes in series 9 of Doctor who. Rams leg tho and I think Charlie is my new favourite character

October 22nd, 2016 - 11:49pmEpisode 2 looks a tad gory, but then, Ram being covered in his girlfriend’s blood was, well, brought back happy nightmares about Torchwood

October 22nd, 2016 - 11:48pmExcellent. I only sort of saw the negative reviews but physically watching it was fab. Ram’s having a time of it, April’s having a time of it and, well, Capaldi… those are the three standouts. Oh and Prince Private School guy (name escapes me…)
Only criticism is that the camera work doing all that jump cut zooming on April got a little irritating. I know it was like a heartbeat but still, what? Title sequence is cool though…

October 22nd, 2016 - 8:22pmIs it just me who thought it was genius how when April was imagining Rhodia, because he said they were nerdy intellectuals, she imagined them wearing school uniforms?

October 22nd, 2016 - 7:10pmI actually quite liked it. I think itll get better as it goes, but as first episodes go it was pretty strong. I like all the characters and it wasn’t cringy at all.

October 22nd, 2016 - 3:39pmis anyone else just extremely annoyed William Russell was not in it? Even for a scene or two! So annoying, he could have met the doctor again. Missed opportunity.

October 22nd, 2016 - 3:33pmI want to know what happened to Ian, his name was on the board in the 50th anniversary Ep as headmaster.

October 22nd, 2016 - 3:19pmI’m actually surprised at how much I liked Class. I was so underwhelmed when I heard about the Coal Hill School spin off, I thought it would be just more annoying kids that couldn’t act. I’m happy to say I was wrong.
I think this is proof that Doctor Who should move with the times and get a bit more ‘adult’ too, I want to see blood and gore and more terror in Doctor who. Why should it be only allowed in spin offs? Most of the best shows on tv (game of thrones, walking dead) have adult content and are so much better for it. Yes I know it’s always been a family show but I’m willing to bet 3 quarters of the people that watch dr who are teens/adults anyway.

The Surgeon
October 22nd, 2016 - 11:53amVery very good I thought

October 22nd, 2016 - 11:53amHas a lot of potential but wasn’t the greatest of starts. Certainly better than the star

October 22nd, 2016 - 11:45amBeyond brilliant! It seems so weird to see such gory scenes in a show that the Doctor is involved in. Love it!
