  1. 2. There are only 4 main characters in the 1st 1963 episode: the Dr, his granddaughter Susan, and Barbara and Ian - who are both ...
  2. 4. A Beeb foreign subsidiary showed how, with consistent scheduling (straight after the main Dr Who!) and marketing, Class could have been a success!
  3. 8. Though she is in many ways a teen stereotype, Susan is also a '...' of both age and gender with her interest in reading and advanced maths theory!
  4. 12. As the rebooted Dr Who regularly got audiences of over ..., we can argue the 0.3m average of Class was partly down to mishandling by the BBC, and specific issues with BBC3 and scheduling
  5. 14. Before satellite, cable, digital and eventually web-based 'broadcasting' made the range of channels available expand ever more, the limits on how much data could be squeezed through the airwaves meant there were only 3 UK TV channels until 1982!
  6. 16. Until quite recently the BBC were self-regulated, but by the time Class was released they were regulated by '...', just like the commercial channels
  7. 17. Whereas I Daniel Blake is a clear single genre, Doctor Strange and Class mix in action (+ horror + romance for Class) so are ... genre
  8. 18. The youth primary target audience of Class are seen as using catch-up services mainly, ignoring schedules, which the BBC used to justify putting BBC3 online only. The collapse in viewing figures suggests this is an inaccurate stereotype.
  9. 21. The Class CSP episode (3) title is 'Co-Owner of a ...'
  10. 22. The 50th anniversary episode of Dr Who aired in '...' countries as a simulcast, a clear demonstration of the global power of this BBC brand. Why did the Beeb do such a miserable job then marketing Class?!
  11. 24. A type of narrative Class uses, following multiple characters and their story arcs, so a conflict will play out over a series or more, not just a single episode
  12. 25. The TV regulator has arguably doomed the terrestrial TV companies by initially blocking this joint BBC/ITV online service, allowing Netflix time to become dominant in the UK
Down
  1. 1. '...values', the legendary 3-part mission statement laid down a century ago by the BBC's 1st chief executive: inform, educate, and entertain.
  2. 3. Anyone who watches TV in the UK must pay this, even if they don't watch the BBC (which it funds). The Tory government are hostile to both the BBC and its funding.
  3. 5. Pierre Bourdieu would argue that the minority who recognised Class' Coal Hill as the school from the original 1963 Dr Who gain a form of wealth or status from this
  4. 6. While Coranikus is clearly signified as the 'villain' (or antagonist), the '...' of the hero/protagonist is arguably split between multiple characters, though in ep3 April is highlighted
  5. 7. Class can be contrasted for its positive range of representations, including multi-ethnic cast and non-sensationalised gay and disabled characters, but feminists might argue that the Miss Quill character reflects the '...'
  6. 9. '...broadcasting' describes radio/TV output which isn't ad-funded or 'made-for-profit', but serves a social purpose (BBC and C4 are the main 'PSBs' in UK)
  7. 10. Campbell's argument, that all narratives centre on the 'hero's journey' is aka the '...'. In ep3 we clearly see April evolving as a character
  8. 11. The 1963 CSP episode title is An '...'
  9. 13. Time and relative dimensions in space... The interior mise-en-scene of the spacecraft, and the cross-dissolve/layering plus then-innovative synth-based sound FX that accompanied it were key anchors of the sci-fi genre. The soundtrack especially became globally influential.
  10. 15. The 1963 Dr Who is extremely lacking in shot variety by today's standards, a reflection of the large, heavy cameras they had then. Zooms/reverse zooms are often used to fake a sense of variety, and flashbacks often use the '...' shot
  11. 19. For all its sexual and ehtnic diversity, and use of single-parent families, by setting the show in London, the BBC arguably make Class a contributor to the ... representation of Britain
  12. 20. As BBC2 didn't launch until 1964, when Dr Who 1st aired in 1963 there was only 'BBC TV' (rebranded BBC1 in 1964) and '...', the commercial, ad-funded network
  13. 23. One of the ways Susan was stereotyped as a teenager is by her dancing to pop music on a transistor (small, portable) '...'
