Check Out The Official Class Trailer, Featuring Peter Capaldi!

We really are being spoiled this weekend, aren’t we? Not only do we get a brief look at this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, but we also get a Class trailer featuring the Twelfth Doctor.
No, wait, hang on – make that two trailers for Class! Oh yes, we have a second look at this spin-off set at Coal Hill School Academy. While the Doctor took up much of the first teaser, this time, we get a better look at its main characters, Charlie (Greg Austin), Tanya (Vivian Oparah), April (Sophie Hopkins), Ram (Fady Elsayed), and Miss Quill (Katherine Kelly). The latter in particular has some very interesting lines… Keep watching until after the Class logo!

“And I am war itself”, eh? Miss Quill certainly did seem au fait with the TARDIS, didn’t she? Very interesting.
Okay, so what does everyone think? Honestly, I think this looks very very promising. It’s certainly directed beautifully from what we’ve seen, and there are a lot of great visuals there.
We shall see. When? Saturday 22nd October actually! That’s when the first two episodes – For Tonight We Might Die and The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo, written by Patrick Ness – airs on BBCThree.
