6) First Trailer For Doctor Who Spinoff Class
In lieu of new Doctor Who this year, we’re instead getting a brand new spinoff. Aimed at the young adult audience in particular, Class will see the kids of Coal Hill High School in London (a major setting in recent Peter Capaldi seasons) fighting aliens and monsters in the Doctor’s absence.
Fans had little idea what to expect from the show before last weekend, but we finally got our first look at Class at NYCC. The first trailer introduced us to four teens (one of them’s an alien) played by newcomers Greg Austin, Sophie Hopkins, Fady Elsayed and Vivian Oparah, as well as a welcome appearance by the Doctor himself.
By the looks of it, the series has a similar pace, humour and tone to its parent show, but with a definite stronger teen flavour. The trailer also makes clear a big influence on the show, as the characters reference Buffy the Vampire Slayer at one point.
