Television: Introduction to Science-fiction TV drama



1) How does Class meet the conventions of a TV drama series?
It's a spin off of the doctor who series
2) What conventions of the science-fiction genre can you find in the Class trailer? List as many as you can and use NCIS to help you. Aliens, futuristic places, actions, science fiction, robots, doctor who's, mystery.

3) What other genres are suggested by the trailer (e.g. horror)? Is Class an example of a modern hybrid-genre show?
action and mystery
4) Class is a spin-off from Doctor Who. At what point does the character of the Doctor appear in the trailer?
he appears near the end of the trailer with the light up blue wand.
5) Who do you think the target audience for Class is? Is this a typical target audience for the science-fiction genre? Give reasons for your answer.
I think it could be for people who like science fiction and horror and a mix of a crossover with the doctor who series as it has that things doctor who has even the actor for him, this would go to an age group of teenager, young adults or even adults as it not entirely meant for kids.
Grade 8/9 Extension tasks:

Aside from the appearance of the Doctor, what other references or allusions are made to the Doctor Who universe?
I think the portal that opens in the trailer might be a reference of the doctor coming to the universe of the class series 

Read this IndieWire feature on the best Science-fiction TV shows of the 21st century. What science-fiction conventions can you find in the feature? Are there any shows that particularly catch your eye for watching in future?
I don't find any particular show that interests me but I think the science-fiction conventions found is that they all include something to do with some futuristic things, they like to include things like a horror scenes or bit in them, scenes that shows some sort of suspense to the viewers.
