Odds did n’t look great for Class , Patrick Ness ’ sinister new grownup show correct in the existence of Doctor Who , when its first time of year debuted to abysmal view bod — and then Ness himself jumped shipa few month ago . But now we officially be intimate that adventures of the gang of Coal Hill students will not be making a issue .
The newsworthiness has been on the rampart for a while now , but was officially reassert by BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh :
No , [ we ’re not bringing it back ] . There was nothing wrong with it – I thought Patrick did a great task , he explore an amazing world .
In satinpod , it just did n’t really shore for us on BBC Three . Things sometimes do n’t , and I ’ve got to make decisions about what we ’re locomote to do from a drama point of view .
There are always time when you do something and you have to decide that it ’s not going to come back . division is just one of those thing .
division was made for BBC Three in the UK , a stripling - focussed BBC Channel that had recently transform into an online - only service before Class premiere , meaning there was piffling fortune for it to gain the same form of interview it could ’ve had in reality broadcasting on TV . When the show was finally aired on BBC One , it was only done so in late - Nox slots as random double bills , make it almost impossible to maintain a decent audience . It was n’t aid that the US program of the series was economise for months and months after it first air in the UK , only premiering when Doctor Who ’s 10th season broadcast on the transmission channel earlier this yr .
It ’s a ignominy , because Class — as weird as its premise was — actually had some promiseonce it got retiring slavishly trying to remind you it was connected to Doctor Who . The further removed it get from its parent show , the bolder it could be , and the fact that wo n’t be able-bodied to get explored further is a little sad . Farewell , Class , we barely knew ye .
