History Series / Class2016

** The Rhodia (or at least most of them) saw nothing wrong with making people who broke their laws their slavess, with death as a result of disobedience. Miss Quill argues that it was unfair to her people.
** Miss Quill is seen as a slave by Tanya, yet the Doctor, who knows about her situation, leaves the Arn inside her head (he says this is for her tricking someone into dying to save her).

** Charlie seems to consider [[spoiler:committing genocide on the Shadow Kin to bring other Rhodians to life]].

** There's a wall dedicated to the missing staff and students of Coal Hill. Although Clara and Danny's are the only ones focused on, you can find references to former companions and characters. See more in the FreezeFrameBonus below. The Doctor reacts to seeing Clara's name, a reference to the ending of Series 9.

And one of them is an alien and also is their teacher.

After the Shadow Kin exterminate the whole Rhodian and Quill races, [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]] rescues the Rhodian prince and his captured-enemy-turned-slave and sends them to live in secret at [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E1AnUnearthlyChild Coal Hill Academy]] as student "Charlie Smith" and teacher Miss Quill, keeping their identity's secret to their classmates.

Until the Shadow Kin invade their sixth term prom.

It turns out that the Doctor traveling through time again and again made the walls of space and time stretch thin around Coal Hill, to the point where they are about to burst. As such, who knows [[MonsterOfTheWeek what]] might take the opportunity to slip through next...

The show sat out to become a "British [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]]", albeit with a sci-fi twist on the formula. But alas, things ultimately would not turn out that way. In June 2017, after the completion of the first series, Patrick Ness announced that he was quitting the show, citing disappointment with how the BBC was handling it. And in September the same year, after a prolonged period of radio silence, the BBC would quietly announce what many viewers had already suspected, namely that the show was cancelled after just one series.

* SorryImGay: Since he lacks social skills, Charlie neglects to say this to April when she asks him out to the prom and he briskly declines, making it look like he's just being snooty. She figures it out later when he tells he'll ask out Matteusz.

* SorryImGay: Charlie to April, when she asks him out to the prom.

* ButNotTooGay: Averted. Charlie and Matteusz are openly affectionate and the show doesn't shy away from showing the natural progression of their relationship from dating to sex. They get as much attention as the other major straight couple on the show: [[spoiler:April and Ram]].

* FinalSolution: It's stressed quite often by Miss Quill that this is the only way of stopping the Shadow Kin, by using the Cabinet of Souls. [[spoiler:She ends up being right when the Shadowkin attack Earth in search of April, and both Ram and Tanya agree after having loved ones murdered in front of them (Ram later changes his mind, but Tanya teams up with Quill). And having read Corakinus's mind, April realizes that they will kill everyone on Earth no matter what anyone does, so there really is no other choice. This results in Charlie shooting her to kill Corakinus, taking over briefly as the new leader of the Shadowkin and using the Cabinet. The Cabinet blows up their home planet and kills the entire Shadow Kin race, except for April in Corakinus's body.]]

* RewatchBonus: If the first and the second episode are watched again, seeds of later storylines and plots are planted. During the dance, April is watching Ram and Rachel with an envious look, and Ram is the one who saves her from Corakinus. [[spoiler: Thus, it's no real surprise that they end up together later on.]] Meanwhile, Tanya was already making snide remarks about her "white" friends not having the same types of problems as her and Ram both behind their backs and to their faces. [[spoiler: So, the later conflict in "Detained" did not come out of nowhere after all.]]

* NonHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Quill conceives a child after sleeping with Ballon, who is a Lorr]].

* BloodierAndGorier: Like ''Series/Torchwood'' and unlike ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''Class'' does ''not'' utilize a GoryDiscretionShot after a monster attacks.

* ParentsWalkInAtTheWorstTime: [[spoiler:April]]'s mum enters [[spoiler:her]] room to find [[spoiler:April and Ram [[TheirFirstTime in bed. Naked]]]].
** This leads to her having [[TheTalk a sex talk]] with [[spoiler:April and Ram]].

* DevelopmentGag: One early conception of Susan[[note]]At the time, her name was planned to be Suzanne[[/note]] in ''Doctor Who'' was that she'd be an exiled alien princess. ''Class'' gives Charlie a similar background.
