7 Doctor Who Spin-Offs That Could Replace Class
7. The Adventures Of The Ghost
Steven Moffat definitely had his finger on the pulse last Christmas when he wrote The Return of Doctor Mysterio, a fun romp that gave a Doctor Who twist on the classic superhero story. Comic book TV is everywhere right now, so it was a canny move from the show to get into the tights n' flights game for one episode.
But why not take it further? Given the success of the multitude of Marvel and DC series out there, it would surely be a sound investment for the BBC to produce their own superhero show. You might remember that the 2016 Christmas special left Grant Gordon AKA The Ghost with his vast array of superpowers in tact, so it would be very simple to continue his adventures. In fact, The Ghost is already the star of his own comic book, produced by Titan Comics, so there is already a thirst for more from the character. Plus, actor Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds) is established enough to helm his own show.
Part of Class' problem was that it was aimed squarely at a teenage audience, which put lots of fans off. A show about The Ghost would not have this problem as, hey, everyone loves superheroes nowadays.
