I do wish that the Doctor Who trailer were an actual trailer. Like, wedging in a few clips amongst the behind-the-scenes stuff is a bit frustrating for those of us who try to avoid the behind-the-scenes stuff. Of course they've only just finished filming so it's fair enough, and it's nly a minor complaint... it looks like it could be good.

The second Class trailer is very different to the first. Looking awesome though, and I love that they likened it to both Buffy and Once Upon a Time directly. The show already seems quite self-aware which is a good thing, and the Doctor's speechless response to the likenesses was priceless!

My main concern with Class is that it's going to be tryhard, edgy-for-the-sake-of-it nonsense.

Neither trailer does anything to alleviate those fears. I also don't think it's a good idea for The Doctor to be there at all, RTD got it right when he kept him as far away from Torchwood as possible.

It's like the BBC don't actually know who these shows are made for anymore.

What the hell is this?
It's a genuine leak of a page of the script!

Or me being silly.

You decide.

(It was me being silly. Sorry about that, Billy.)

Hang on, a Classic Series writer??

Torchwood was an entirely different scenario with the institution itself set up by Queen Vic and Jack having all that experience with the Doctor. It seems obvious that the Doctor has to be the catalyst for Class if it's not to look a tad disconnected.

If it was already uploaded, I apologise; I haven't seen it here yet. :P

I enjoyed the Class trailer to be honest. Definitely looking forward to the premiere in a few weeks. Things are shaping up good.

I agree. I thought it looked terrible, lots of middle-class, good looking teenagers acting scared and then being heroes and saving the day.

Shame on the show giving the characters a transition period and development...

Yep,Sarah Dollard (who is writing for Series 10) is said to be very excited at who it is. Current speculation is Ben Aaronovitch (Remembrance of the Daleks, Battlefield), Rona Munro (Survival), Steven Gallagher (Warriors Gate, Terminus) or Christopher Bailey (Kinda, Snakedance)

A Class & Christmas Special teaser in the same day (and a Grand Tour trailer ). Happy Friday!

A classic series writer is also returning to pen an episode.
Seriously??? Ooooh, now that's exciting news!
I would LOVE this to be Uncle Terrance, but i suspect it isn't as the wonderful Mr Dicks is in his 80s now.
Oh, I know, it's Graeme Curry's long awaited Happiness Patrol sequel, isn't it?

Isn't there a monster from the Happiness Patrol returning though? It must be him.

'Resurrection of the Kandyman'? 'Return to the Kandy Kitchen'? 'Hello Sweetie'?

Bring it on!!!

I'd be pleased with any of the names mentioned. I love the Mara stories, so Chris Bailey would be my first choice, mind. But I'll go for Rona Munro as most likely out of those being suggested.

eta Only say that because 'Survival' has a sort of C21 Who vibe to it. Then again, as a big fan of the era, maybe SM has got a Davison era writer on board for his swansong series? Rather exciting!

Well it was a rumour for the return of Stigorax, with that rumour and a classic writer. It must be true.

I'm actually looking forward to this special. The superhero idea might actually work and the Class trailer was pretty good too.

“We have got some new writers,” Moffat began with a crooked smile. “We’re not rolling them all out now. Oh, I could do one fun thing. We’ve got Mike Bartlett coming in. He’s just done ‘The Haunted Hub,’ a brilliant script

I'm looking forward to it as well. Haven't looked forward so much to a Christmas special since The End Of Time. Which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I thought the last two Christmas specials were both great. I will be impressed if Moffat can make a Christmas special greatness hat trick.

I definitely enjoy his writing more when he's writing a one off, as opposed to when he's writing an arc.

"Dr Who Christmas Special to be whimsical, uplifting and utterly terrible".

Hmmm. How do you know that they are all middle-class?

Hell yes.

Loved Survival and having her back for a story for Series 10 would be great.
