Time travelling over the years has caused the very walls of space and time to become thin. There's something pressing in on the other side, something waiting for its chance to kill everyone and everything, to bring us all into Shadow. Panel includes stars Greg Austin, Fady Elsayed, Sophie Hopkins and Vivian Oparah along with Patrick Ness and Brian Minchin. Class is a BBC Studios Wales production, co-produced with BBC AMERICA and BBC Worldwide. Class will premiere alongside Doctor Who in Spring 2017 on BBC AMERICA.
