Big Finish Class Volume 02
Available to order from www.bigfinish.com
Three new adventures for the students of Coal Hill Academy, based on the television series created by Patrick Ness.
2.1 Everybody Loves Reagan by Tim Foley
When Reagan Harper joins Coal Hill Academy, everybody instantly loves her – everybody except for April. Is there really more to Reagan than meets the eye? Or are there other forces at work in Coal Hill?
2.2 Now You Know… by Tim Leng
Following a series of freak attacks on staff and pupils, Tanya and Matteusz find themselves investigating a mystery that dates back to the 1960s. Together, they hope to solve it – even if that means turning on one another to do so…
2.3 In Remembrance by Guy Adams
When an alarm is triggered at Coal Hill Academy, Quill and Charlie encounter a mysterious intruder prowling around school premises. Worse, they also encounter a Dalek. Their only hope of survival lies with the stranger: a woman who calls herself ‘Ace’…

August 11th, 2018 - 2:41pmI’m REALLY looking forward to listening to these audio dramas and I TOTALLY hope that big finish do more volumes and maybe even a series 2 and so on. Big finish, PLEASE read this.

July 4th, 2018 - 10:31pmdo you need to get class volume 1 to understand volume 2

July 4th, 2018 - 10:56pmBig Finish Class is set throughout Series 1 and so therefore the audio adventures happen at different points in time. I don’t think you’d need Volume 1 to understand Volume 2 to be honest with you. I think these adventures are very much standalone stories with the main story ark being what was shown on TV.

June 2nd, 2018 - 9:34amIt was a creative choice to leave the series on a cliff hanger when they didn’t know if a second season was even going to get commissioned. It’s a shame they didn’t just do the season resolve and park the characters ready for more adventures should that happen.
Until now have had no interest in a rewatch as it’s left open and there’s no conclusion coming, and that has probably dented dvd sales too.
Tbh I just don’t think the BBC knew what to do with it. It needed better scheduling, more promotion and clear identity. Even the name Class seemed completely disconnected with the whole Who brand.
I hope Big Finish get to put their own polish on it and continue the ongoing story, by maybe getting Benny in as a new teacher. It needed some more ongoing connection to Who, and I mean something other than Capaldi’s show stealing appearance in the first episode.

June 1st, 2018 - 1:17pmWell it hasn’t even been three years yet, only half of that.

May 31st, 2018 - 9:50pmThe fact that they haven’t opted to cover what happens after THAT cliffhanger to me kind of indicates that there is a chance there could be a second televised series.

May 31st, 2018 - 10:03pmIt is coming on Netflix this Sunday and I think this will be our final hope as they are probably doing this because most young people only watch Netflix.

June 1st, 2018 - 2:32amWell it’s not being done by Patrick Ness as he’s said he’s done with Class, also this isn’t America
No show is gonna come back 3 years after it aired also it would have to do beyond extremely well on Netflix
The Outcast
June 1st, 2018 - 1:30pmIt isn’t coming back to TV. If it was, they would have announced it by now. Big Finish is the best you are going to get. Even when it gets on Netflix, I highly, highly doubt it’ll actually get popular. That might just be my bias though, as I disliked the Series and didn’t watch more after episode 1, but then again, it seems many people agreed with me and thought it wasn’t very good.
Let us not forget, Big Finish’s Torchwood range also was set within the time of the TV series to test the waters before they went ahead and did Series 5. I’d guess they are doing something similar here.

June 1st, 2018 - 2:51pmI think its a shame Patrick Ness always said he would resolve the cliff hanger even via a book if the show was cancelled and then walked away for whatever reason

June 1st, 2018 - 2:47pmIt could be that they are waiting for Patrick Ness to become available to take part in the creative process (we know he didn’t want to do another TV series, but perhaps as an audio series lovingly made by Big Finish’s talents he wants to be involved, at least in a similar capacity to how RTD influences the path of the Torchwood series)?
booboo
June 1st, 2018 - 2:52pmi think he said he would never write for class again on twitter
The Outcast
June 1st, 2018 - 2:56pmMaybe he has a plot outline for it, but wants to ensure the future of Class is in safe hands first?
booboo
June 1st, 2018 - 3:02pmhe is off twitter now but this what he said
I decided awhile back that, with unbelievable regret, I won’t be writing any more Class, even if a season 2 moves ahead

May 31st, 2018 - 11:41amI really hope they have The Weeping Angels in a future box set so they can resolve the cliffhanger at the end of the tv series

May 31st, 2018 - 9:59am500 copies. Very apt considering the amount of people who actually watched the show
