Patrick Ness Coy On Capaldi “Class” Appearance
“I can neither yet confirm nor deny,” the show’s lead writer told the Radio Times. “But I’m a big Peter Capaldi fan, let’s put it that way.”
He adds: “It’s funny – I’m not gonna answer that question. I’ve already started ignoring the sort of baiting, trolling tweets of ‘We’ve heard this!’ and ‘my sources say!’ And I just laugh, I mean like wow, because some of the stuff I’ve seen is so wildly wrong. I think ‘Oh, this could be a fun year.’”
Speaking about the cast: “The main character is someone brand-new. There’s lots and lots and lots of brand new. Because that’s what I want to see. I want to see somebody come up with something new.”
On how far along the show is in the writing process, he said: “The way I write books, is….I know the last line of the book, and I already know the last line in the first season of Class. And I know there are things on the way that I’ve already written, or I can’t wait to write. So I’ve got all the episodes plotted out. I’ve got many many things written – and it’s really exciting! I wish I could tell you details, but it’s too early for details.”
