Is this the first time Big Finish has recast a living actor (apart from the First Doctor Adventures, which feel like a different case)? The most noticeable BF recast of a living actor that I can think of is Yasmin Bannerman replacing Josette Simon as Dayna in Blake's 7. As far as I am aware Josette simply declined a return to the role. I get the impression Josette was asked a few times and then after appearing in a Doctor Who audio made the point that she was happy to work for Big Finish again but still ruled out playing Dayna, and that was when they decided to recast. As for Katherine Kelly I must be on another planet to everyone else. I thought she was absolutely ghastly in Class, and possibly one of the main reasons I still have episodes left to watch let alone listen to!!

Clearly I'm not in tune with what's popular about these sets - i.e. people want stories about the characters whoever they are played by, whereas I am quite happy to hear new characters developed by new actors, but not so keen on recasting. So as a waverer (I only bought one of the previous box sets) and as a Dervla Kirwan fan, I could have been sold on the basis of her joining the cast in a new role even if Quill had been absent, but I'm definitely not buying if Quill is played by anyone other than Kelly, Kirwan included... Molly from Dark Eyes got recast in series 4 Rejoice from Only the Monstrous got recast in... Only the Monstrous.

Yes, but my point is that there was a reason she didn’t sound the same. It wasn’t just “Here’s the new Molly.” (I don’t have an issue with recasting if the actors aren’t available, BTW. I just thought it was interesting that this isn’t typical of Big Finish.)

Quite enjoyed these sets, but the Quill recast took some time to get used to. My favourites were probably The Soers' Ditch, Catfish, and Queen of Rhodia. One question though, Quill seems to be attacked by the Creeper at the end of the Creeper, is this a cliffhanger leading into something? Also, I really hope the ending of Queen of Rhodia isn't an in-universe way of saying that Big Finish won't be doing Class series 2 because I've really enjoyed the Class stories and think Big Finish could do a lot continuing the events of the TV series. EDIT: {Spoiler (The Creeper)} Relistened to the end of The Creeper and I think I misherd it the first time. I think that at the end the Creeper teleports away but I orignally thought it was Quill who got teleported away by the Creeper

From the BTS bit of Queen of Rhodia, it does sound like that was pretty much all on Blair Mowat. It seemed to be his choice to place it in that gap rather than anything Scott Handcock or anyone else asked for, although I could be wrong. I think it works well in a meta way (which is apt really) as a finale to Class if we never hear from it again.

Yeah I think it works good as a finale if we never get a series 2 {Spoiler} basically saying to the audience "the cliffhanger is annoying but they got out of it and will continue to have adventures" but I still hope that we get a series 2 if possible.

Looks like this is it for Class...
I was hoping we'd get a continuation of the cliffhanger at the end of Series 1, but oh well - at least we managed to get twelve more stories with the cast/characters, rather than just the eight we got on TV. Scott says it wasn't to do with sales, it was because the license was only ever for twelve stories.
