I dont think the viewing figures themselves are a problem given the time of night, but that theres only been a quarter of a million views of later episodes since Octobers launch has to be really bad.
Then again I really dont know what comparable shows get in terms of tv and online audiences.

I suspect had the BBC intended the BBC1 run to be a success it would:
-Not be shown in double bills
-Not be shown very late at night
-Have some publicity
The numbers are ok for that time slot but hardly where you would put a new show you thought had legs!

To my mind, Class was part of the drive to try and get BBC3 off the ground as an online service last year. I don't think the BBC would really want to push it as a terrestrial show because it detracts from its original purpose. On BBC1 it probably should be just filler, the question is whether it met its viewing targets online.
Doesn't sound like it though!

I honestly dont know if theres a show to compare it too. I don't know what if any successes they've had since BBC3 relaunched. If they have I would like to see how they compare in viewing figures and budget to Class. |

I would say unlikely based on the numbers.
It is odd that DWM has mostly ignored it though! The apathy all round for Class does seem odd compared to how Torchwood and Sarah Jane were pushed. Heck, even the mostly forgotten Totally Doctor Who got more publicity!

Which is strange if they intended it to be something to bring people to BBC3's new incarnation. You would have expected the BBC to have put some muscle behind it. It does seem to have encountered a sort of wall of *meh* somehow. Karl |

The other shows all had involvement from the contemporary Who showrunner. Well RTD in both cases.
If whats his name - current showrunner - had wanted to be involved in a spin off Im certain it would have been more high profile.
Class though, yeah. Why comission it then then seemingly dont back it at all. Unless it really was an experiment to see if any Who linked show with no other advertising was enough to get viewers.

Moffat is credited as an exec producer on it so would have had some involvement.
The whole way it's been handled reeks of internal politics/behind the scenes shenanigans. I look forward to the story coming out in a few years time.
Torchwood was used to push the then not hugely popular BBC3 and got a huge amount of publicity equivalent to if it had been a BBC1 show. The general public would have known it existed! And that was arguably a risky show to launch: an adult orientated spin-off from BBC1's big family show which featured a popular character from it that young kids might have wanted to watch? I bet that caused a few headaches for folks promoting it but they managed it.

Well, we have heard tell that the guy who wrote it was approached to write a Who spin-off and initially said "no", followed by "how about this instead?", so I do agree that there is probably an interesting story here in due course.

Indifference continues in DWM. One page on ratings. Still no reviews or behind the scenes features.

Y'all are forgetting BBCA.
It's only just now started showing here, following DW, and before Graham Norton.
Even if proper BBC isn't interested in a second season, if BBCA feels the ratings are good enough here, they may fund it.
Though I'm not impressed. I like Quill. And I like the black girl and the sihk soccer player. Not really much into the other characters.
If it didn't follow Who, I'd have stopped watching after the second episode. I'd have much preferred The Veiled Detective over this.

Maybe the writing was on the black board (instead of wall & also with the board being in the main series)

Yup. When even DWM barely mentioned the show it was obvious it was doomed from the start.
