I tried watching just the first two eps. Jesus! This show is worse than Torchwood, and that's saying something with a kind hearted intention. If this is the best the BBC can do with Dr Who spin-off's, bar Sarah Jane Adv's, then Lord help us. Once again, I get that feeling that Class may have been more aimed at the American market, but that's just a feeling. I think the BBC will probably want to bury the 'Class Series', and forget all about it. Shocking!

I would say its more aimed at the teen market than the American one. But either way its shit.

I was beginning to think that I better get my DVD copy of K-9 and Company out after being subjected to just how shit this was. I actually wanted to enjoy Class. I just don't know ?why? the BBC even bothered.

When i heard it was political correctness gone wild i pretty much disowned it. The only episode i wouldn't mind seeing is the final one just for the Weeping Angel.

30 seconds, if that!

Thanks, Susan.

From that clip it actually seems a decent show. :lol:

Saw The Sontaran Strategm again last night. Started watching Unicorn and the Wasp but turned it off after ten minutes or so on the grounds that its utter pants. I actually really enjoyed Strategm though. It's unlikely to be anyone's favourite Doctor Who story and is so generic it's practically Who by numbers but for switch your brain off fun it's actually a really good romp. I'm surprised they've never brought Chris Ryan back for a proper Sontaran sequel as he's certainly the best Sontaran since Kevin Lindsay. Same goes for Colonel Mace too actually; as a Brigadier stand-in he's certainly light years ahead of dreary Kate. Very enjoyable. Certainly more fun than the Moffat era has been for a very long time! ;)

It's not a fave of mine i admit but i do think it's quite close to a typical 70's Pertwee story.

I've watched The Sontaran two-parter quite a few times and rather enjoyed the story, though Helen Raynor's other two-parter, The Daleks Take Manhattan leaves a lot to be desired. I also enjoyed Planet of the Ood. The story that I really enjoyed was Midnight. Probably one of the best stories to be written by dear Russ, or not so dear Russ with The End of Time and Voyage of the Damned. Yuck!
