Class is a British science fiction drama programme, and a spin-off of the long-running programme Doctor Who. It is created and written by Patrick Ness, who also produces alongside Doctor Who showrunner and lead writer Steven Moffat, and Brian Minchin, who acted as producer on Doctor Who and two of its previous spin-offs, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. The first series of eight episodes premiered on BBC Three on 22 October 2016, and concluded on 3 December 2016. The story focuses on five of the students and staff at Coal Hill Academy, a longtime recurrent location of Doctor Who, who are tasked by the Doctor to deal with alien threats while trying to deal with their personal lives.
The debut of the programme received a positive reception from television critics including writers for The Guardian, Den of Geek, WalesOnline, and Brisbane Times. WalesOnline gave it a rating of five stars out of five, and Brisbane Times gave it three and a half stars out of four.
The programme is set in Coal Hill Academy, a fictional school that has been featured in Doctor Who since its original 1963 serial, and focuses on six of its students and staff members
The sixth formers of Coal Hill Academy all have their own secrets and desires. They have to deal with the stresses of everyday life, including friends, parents, school work, sex, and sorrow, but also the horrors that come from time travel. The Doctor and his time-travelling have made the walls of space and time stretch thin, and monsters beyond imagination are planning to break through and wreak havoc upon the Earth.
