[Kinsei]

So I guess DW will go back to summer for series 10 now that we have a spin-off in the fall?

Coal Hill School? Well, it does seem to be a place the Doctor keeps gravitating to...

 

[Joqu]

Oh...

 

[Slowdive]

8 45 minute episodes.

Underwhelming news tbh.

 

[Mariolee]

I....don't care about this that much.

 

[infiniteloop]

christ, big finish news would've been more interesting than that

 

[Hot Coldman]

I was the closest out of anyone

 

[Symphonia]

Well, that sounds shit.

 

[Kathian]

Sounds awful.

 

[odiin]

I think I would have preferred a Torchwood theme park...

 

[M.Bluth]

"Next autumn"?
So, is this how they'll slowly break it to us S10 won't be back next year...?

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Goddammit.

 

[Tansut]

Torchwood High

 

[Quick Mustard]

So, given its BBC Three, it'll be Online only then as the channel shuts next year?

 

[funkystudent]

Well that's disappointing

 

[ClivePwned]

Back to sleep. Ambivalent.

 

[JonathanEx]

I'm cautious, and wow, BBC Three still had a budget big enough.

But, spinoff, yeah, can't argue it's big!

 

[BatDan]

YA spin-off...

Not sure if want..

 

[TheJoRu]

 

[mclem]

Not familiar with Patrick Ness, but he's got a few Carnegie medals, so he at least has a handle on writing for this sort of audience.

This is all I got from this.

Yup.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

So it's kinda like Sarah Jane Adventures MEETS Torchwood, but at Coal Hill.

huh. Well, we were just talking about a spinoff yesterday, weren't we? And now we have one.

Maybe it'll be good!

(Shoulda been Eighth Doctor Adventures, but what are you gonna do)

 

[Ashodin]

With all the action, heart and adrenalin of the best YA fiction (Buffy, Hunger Games),

welp pack it up

This week on Class, Tara engages with a terrible monster stalking the school's halls, and it has a new target: her handsome crush Robert. Will she save him from the monster in time to kiss him? Find out next time!

 

[Razmos]

I mean it might be as good as Sarah Jane Adventures right?
Right?

 

[VegiHam]

So it's a spinoff about who? I mean, is there going to be any particular reason for these A Level students to run into Aliens? Sarah and the Doc hunted them and Torchwood were getting paid but this is a school?

Feeling cautious about this.

 

[M.Bluth]

This is all I got from this.

Yup.

I suppose it's clever to have it on BBC Three, too... It won't be replacing DW on One! So now keep calm before you get punched in the balls

Teen angst + sci fi is all the rage right now

 

[Exterminieren]

Well... it's nice to have a spinoff again.

 

[Hot Coldman]

what kind of name is Class

 

[infiniteloop]

The CW does Doctor Who on a BBC Budget.

 

[Boem]

Could be good, but we don't really know anything yet. Could be Clara, but I kinda doubt she'd sign for a spinoff after leaving Who.

I guess this means we'll finally get our Ian Chesterton cameo now. I think it'll be similar to Sarah Jane Adventures. If more Coal Hill characters are introduced this series they'll probably turn up there as well.

 

[Broken Joystick]

what kind of name is Class

they misprinted

its actually called Clara

she ain't going away anytime soon

 

[Bobby Roberts]

So it's a spinoff about who?

...Susan maybe?

 

[Maddocks]

what kind of name is Class

Consuming Lunch And Simple Socializing.

Show will take place in a cafeteria.

 

[tomtom94]

This could either be really really good or really, REALLY terrible. I'm young enough to still have a soft spot for YA fiction (especially Buffy and Hunger Games) but I'm also old enough to remember that Spooks: Code 9 existed.

Ness' credentials seem reasonable, lack of TV experience aside.

Let's see what happens.

 

[Quick Mustard]

But guys, BBC Three closes around March in 2016, so if its next Autumn, it'll be online only which will suck.

 

[Rimon-hanit]

I know they considered making a teenage Doctor growing up in Gallifrey before they settled on the Sarah Jane Adventures, I hope it's not something like that, probably not that would be ridiculous.

 

[Boem]

...Susan maybe?

Nah, if they're ever bringing her back it'll be a big story in the main show.

Besides, last time we saw her she was chilling with a random sleazy guy in a Dalek-ruined London 100 years in the future (not counting spinoff books/audios). She's not a teacher, she just used to be a student there for a couple of weeks.

 

[Hot Coldman]

can Ace be a teacher

 

[The Elite]

I would not spare a square for this.

Christ Spooks Code 9 that was something wasn't it.


I mean I'm not YAAAAY but people going on like the Facebook and saying "Is it just me or does this not REALLY fit into the category of big doctor who announcement"? What? How is a spinoff not big? You might not like it, but it's not a small thing!

 

[MrBadger]

I'll just wait for when it crosses over with Doctor Who in one of those "everything and the kitchen sink" finales that RTD loved doing

 

[Broken Joystick]

I'm game.

 

[Hot Coldman]

when's the fucking UNIT spinoff anyway

 

[The Elite]

So Doctor Who is for children.
Class for Young Adult.
They need a new adult show.

 

[Exterminieren]

It's the first Doctor Who spin-off we'll have had in five years. Of COURSE it's big news- that we hyped it up as something even bigger is neither here nor there.

Done right, Who-does-Buffy could be a hell of a fun time. I'll be keeping my eye on it.
