A New 'Class' for Science Fiction
Hello 'Class'! It's me! the Storyteller! (aka Andrea) So as many Whovians have heard thus far, there's a new spinoff show coming to BBC 3 and BBC America next spring! What's it called you ask? Well I already told you but maybe you didn't catch it in the title or at the start of this article. To those that didn't catch the title, it's called "Class" and will be run and written by Patrick Ness, who is also a YA author, giving us the opportunity to view the Whoniverse on a whole new level. An 8x45 minute series, this new Spinoff will take place at a high school called Coal Hill which most of us Whovians are already familiar with. Coal Hill school is where the original Doctor's companions first started out from. This school has been mentioned several times in the past of NeWho and Classic Who.
"Class" will be based in a YA setting and the characters have already been casted and it has been revealed to us who they are! Greg Austin, Fady Elsayed, Sophie Hopkins and Vivian Oparah will play the students with their odd new teacher Katherine Kelly. The actors chosen are ones that no ones heard of - yet - but I assure you after 'Class' all Whovians will know their names.
I'll update you guys later if any new information comes about that. Also, one last thing on April 14, two beloved Doctors celebrated their special birthdays on this very day so i want to wish a Happy Birthday to Peter Capaldi and Peter Davison. Anyways Storyteller signing out. Don't wander off and keep reading! See you later!
