BBC Three announces Doctor Who Spin-off
---------------------------------------
BBC Three today announces Class - a new 8 x 45 minute
Doctor Who spin off from the acclaimed YA author,
Patrick Ness. Class is a YA series set in contemporary
London. Incredible dangers are breaking through the
walls of time and space, and with darkness coming,
London is unprotected. With all the action, heart and
adrenalin of the best YA fiction (Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, The Hunger Games), this is Coal Hill School
and Doctor Who like you've never seen them before.

Steven Moffat says, "No one has documented the dark
and exhilarating world of the teenager like Patrick
Ness, and now we're bringing his brilliant story-telling
into Doctor Who. This is growing up in modern Britain -
but with monsters!"

On his first television series, writer Patrick Ness says,
"I'm astounded and thrilled to be entering the Doctor Who
universe, which is as vast as time and space itself.
There's so much room there for all kinds of amazing
stories, and to work with Steven Moffat and Brian Minchin
to find a place to tell one of my own has been an
absolute joy. I can't wait for people to meet the heroes
of Class, to meet the all-new villains and aliens, to
remember that the horrors of the darkest corners of
existence are just about on par with having to pass your
A-Levels."

Damian Kavanagh, Controller BBC Three adds, "We're
excited to give Patrick Ness this opportunity to work
with us at BBC Three and the Doctor Who family. Patrick
understands young audiences and I'm delighted he will use
his incredible skills as a storyteller to delight
audiences on BBC Three. BBC Three will always innovate
and offer opportunities for brilliant new talent."

Polly Hill, Controller BBC Drama Commissioning, adds,
"I am thrilled that Patrick Ness is writing his first
drama series for BBC Three. The combination of Patrick
and Steven Moffat, is an exciting partnership that has
created a brilliant Doctor Who spin off for our BBC Three
audience."

Class is executive produced by Steven Moffatt, Patrick
Ness and Brian Minchin. It was commissioned by Damian
Kavanagh, Controller BBC Three and Polly Hill, Controller
BBC Drama Commissioning.

An 8 x 45 minute series produced by BBC Cymru Wales in
association with BBC Worldwide for BBC Three.

The series will film in and around Wales from Spring, 2016
and be on air next year.
