In re: New Dr. Who season and spin-off Class.
Class still worth watching. Rather intense for an ostensibly junior high to high school range target audience. At least, you'd get an NC-17 over here for the sex scene. Some of the violence is pushing it a bit, as well.
As for Dr. Who, I still can't understand Bill at least half the time. I have never had this much trouble with a British accent. Maybe if they'd just get her to slow down? I mean, I've started recording the episodes on purpose so I can replay them over and over in spots to figure out what's being said.
Like, I swear the word "melanin" came out as "mwn". It took me two tries to figure out. Maybe the broadcasts are just messed up, though? I mean, by the end of this week's episode the mouth movement and soundtrack were so far off it was like watching a satire of an old movie with a terrible English dub.
I still think they are doing well with her character overall, though. Meanwhile, a little ham-handed with the moralizing. Like, try to pick just one or two messages to hit us over the head with per episode, mm-kay?
