BBC Confirms Doctor Who Spin-Off Class Axed

In the least surprising news of the year, the BBC confirmed today that Doctor Who spin-off Class has been cancelled.

If the muted reception to the show, low viewing figures and exit of its lead writer wasn’t enough to spell its demise, BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh has now put the last nail in the coffin.

Speaking at today’s Broadcasting Press Guild event, Kavanagh said (via DS): “In honesty, it just didn’t really land for us on BBC Three. Things sometimes don’t, and I’ve got to make decisions about what we’re going to do from a drama point of view.

“There’s always times when you do something and you have to decide that it’s not going to come back. Class is just one of those things.”
