I thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes. It has a really strong and capable cast. The premise of the show has an inexhaustable amount of ideas to go through it. Capaldi was great as per usual. As for the adultness of the show...well I think trying to be more adult when your 16 is an actual thing. You do try to be older than you actually are. But in terms of the show's adultness I think Class' was handled a lot better(?)/differently(?) than Torchwood's adultness.

I thought it was a mixed bag... I liked some of the characters and the concept is neat, but Katherine Kelly got on my nerves a lot, and the dialogue was really poor at times. Once again, modern teenagers are made to look unlikable and disrespectful, when that's not really the case.

But when the team came together, so did the episode, and Peter Capaldi's cameo was superb. I'm really looking forward to The Return Of Doctor Mysterio now.

I take it eps. 3-4 will come online on Saturday?

No, after Episodes 1 and 2 the other 6 episodes will be released on consecutive Saturdays.

So unless things change, the Class schedule for BBC Three currently looks like this:

1. [*=1]Episode 3: 29th October
   [*=1]Episode 4: 5th November
   [*=1]Episode 5: 12th November
   [*=1]Episode 6: 19th November
   [*=1]Episode 7: 26th November
   [*=1]Episode 8: 3rd December

Pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed both episodes. Some minor annoyances/queries, but happy overall. Not as tweenage as I was expecting. Definitely some depth to it, and the Doctor's role was very, very nice.

My biggest grumble is... where the heck is UNIT? They should be crawling all over this stuff...

Miss Quill, Charlie and co. are managing to keep the situations they encounter contained to Coal Hill Academy just as Torchwood 3 and Sarah Jane Smith and co. did in their neck of the woods. I think that if any future alien incursions were in danger of spilling out beyond what the various teams could handle then UNIT would be called in as a last resort to help deal with them.

Contained, maybe... but given how UNIT now appear to have a knack for picking up on abnormal readings as they're occurring... (The Power of Three)...I find it hard to believe that UNIT haven't descended on the school in either full force or with a couple of operatives performing a recce to check out what was going on... I would have certainly expected some UNIT involvement at the end of episode one... that was a big event!

I also question the wisdom of the Doctor entrusting dealing with the rifts to a bunch of teenagers, talented as they may be... I mean, honestly, even he isn't that dense. All he needs to do is phone UNIT and get them to install one of their more irritating junior officers as the new school caretaker...

Fair enough, thanks.

I kind of assumed that UNIT is keeping a discreet eye on things.

[rushy]

The Doctor probably called Kate about it.

[Alan]

Fair enough, thanks.

You're welcome.

I agree. The Doctor's the string-pulling kind so I think we can assume he talked to Kate, made her aware of it and just told her to keep UNIT at a distance. And as Charlie and Miss Quill are alien nomads like the Zygons perhaps he's helped her include them in the negotiated deal UNIT made with the Zygons?

Or maybe in a future episode we'll find out more and see if UNIT figure into things at Coal Hill School in some capacity. They have been mentioned already...maybe they'll appear at some point as they did in Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures?

[BruTak]

I kind of figure UNIT has a list of places the Doctor has been spotted in the past, and is likely to turn up again.
