I think Torchwood style smaller character stories is the best place for Class right now. Detained was the best episode in my opinion so more of that is cool. Looking forward to a Big Finish series 2 though.
I think their heading straight into series two after the August sets. It's a different audience then Torchwood.

According to Scott in the podcast, the reason it's not following up from the season 1 cliffhanger because when the decision to set them during season 1 was made, the show hadn't been cancelled yet. Yeah that's how I heard what they were saying too. That's interesting, had the show been given a second season on TV, I think it might've been the first Big Finish range that was being produced concurrently with its TV counterpart? (I'm not counting Doctor Who here because they've never done the current Doctor at the same time he was on TV).
Eh, I have a feeling the writing was on the wall and Big Finish wanted to provide the show with some afterlife. I'd imagine BBC Audio, if the show had been a success, would have had plans in the wings to do some audiobook releases ahead of Big Finish.

Eh, I loved Detained.
The kids were dealing with some very complicated emotions. It felt very realistic to me and the situation they were in an apt metaphor (trapped out of space and time and plunging into the unknown to get through) - these kids dealing with falling in love, jealousy and finding their place in the world and don't yet have the skills or knowledge to process it all yet. Teenages can really hurt each other, sometimes.

On the ranges page the "From The Worlds Of Doctor Who" logo is as big as the Class one - they're certainly making sure people know it's a spinoff.

I hate Detained my strong advice for anyone watching the TV show and buying the BF series for the 1st time is watch TV Eps 1-5, Listen to the BFs, then brace themselves for it. {Spoiler} It Completely destroyed any Goodwill I had for the young characters except Tanya.
The premiss of the EP is revealing truths so we get:
"We're only a Group through circumstances we're not friends"
"we're only in a relationship because its normal and everything else in our lives is crazy"
"I'm a Gay Alien Prince in love with a Human"
"I'm a Gay (and ultimate example of Politicly Correct European Immigrant) in love with an Alien Prince
"And we all think Tanya is a hanger on"
(Sorry but that's how I felt and it just made me not want anymore of the series)
Regards
mark687 I am in that position so will take your advice

Eh, makes sense given a lot of people didn't see it.

I'm not saying I won't listen. I'm not mad!
And... I'm guessing it's Ace after she was left on earth by.... well listen to galifrey
You know ace would have been in Sarah Jane. So it makes sence.

Yet that's little to do with the price of fish. Even if they didn't see it...surely anyone already on BF's site knows it's a Who spinoff, even a failed one. Even with the BBC1 Class repeats only getting viewers in the hundreds of thousands, that's still more than buy Big Finish. I think a Doctor Who fan already into BF would at least know of Class even if they never watched it.

Class was incredibly badly promoted, I don't think it hurts to advertise it as a spin-off, particularly with less recongition then Jenny or Lady Christina or Jack have. People are being lead to Big Finish through news items, picking up DWM, Titan Comics who don't neccessairly know about Class. Big Finish needs to be inclusive.

I'm interested to see what the main theme's going to be. Big Finish isn't going to use a licensed song... are they?
I wonder if Mowat's going to riff on the Alex Clare song or if it'll be something new entirely.

My guess would be they'll use an instrumental soundalike.

The actual Class theme features over the closing credits (and is indeed featured during the incidentals)...
