Doctor Who is an
incredibly long running and very popular British sci-fi TV show. It started in the ‘60s, running more or
less consecutively till the late ‘80s when the show went on a decade long
permanent hiatus. There was a
brief attempt to revive the series in the ‘90s that failed very hard. Then, in 2005 the show returned to
British television to massive success and, more recently, the show has found a
major following in American audiences as the perfect confluence of 21st
centuries trends of globalism and increasing nerd culture dominance. In that 50 year history Doctor Who has produced a number of
spin-off materials, some of which I’ve already talked about at length. Now, it’s been announced that a new
spin-off is coming in 2016 called Class.
