Doctor Who spin-off Class returning at Big Finish
Doctor Who spin-off Class may have been axed after one series, though fans can now breathe a sigh of relief that it will continue in one form.
The show will be back as six audio adventures for Big Finish, telling the further adventures of the students at Coal Hill Academy.
The news was confirmed in Doctor Who Magazine, and will see the student cross paths with Seventh Doctor companion Ace (Sophie Aldred).
The series will be spread across two volumes, the first comprising of Gifted by Roy Gill, Life Experience by Jenny T Colgan and Tell Me You Love Me by Scott Handcock.
The second will include Everyone Loves Reagan by Tom Foley, Now You Know… by Tim Leng and In Remembrance by Guy Adams.
“We’ve had a great deal of fun reuniting the original cast for the audio series, telling brand-new stories set within the TV run whilst tackling a host of alien menaces,” said director and producer Handcock.
“I couldn’t resist linking up the Doctor Who universe – bringing Ace and the Daleks into the world of Class has been an absolute treat. And for full authenticity, we’re lucky to have series composer Blair Mowat return to the world of Class as well.”
Class: The Audio Adventures will be available from August, and are available for pre-order now. They’re each priced at £23 on CD, and £18 for download on bigfinish.com.
