Doctor Who: 10 Things You Didn't Know About The Weeping Angels

9. We Almost Visited Their Home Planet

Doctor Who spin-off Class was cancelled after just one series, which is a right old shame, because it was super enjoyable.

The fact that we're not going to get more episodes is also a huge disappointment for fans of the Weeping Angels, because the iconic villains would've played a bigger part in the show had it continued on for another series.

The final episode of Series 1 concludes with a Weeping Angel cameo, and according to Class' creator, Patrick Ness, Series 2 would've seen them return in a much more important way, because there were plans to visit their home planet:

“Just imagine the stingingly great stuff Blair [Mowat, composer] would have come up with when we got to the Weeping Angel home planet in Season 2..."

Little else is known about the future of Class, but it's highly unlikely that we'll ever get to see it return.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
