With the "Doctor Who" spin-off series "Class" upcoming this year, "Doctor Who" lead actor Peter Capaldi and author Patrick Ness voiced their insights on the forthcoming show.

There is a slight chance that fans could see Capaldi in "Class." In his interview with Digital Spy, Capaldi said that he was sure that might have been fun, but nobody had asked him yet. He also mentioned that to be honest, he had not seen any of the scripts, adding that it would have been nice if the Doctor had shown up from time to time.

"Chaos Walking" and "A Monster Calls" author, journalist, and lecturer Ness has also voiced his thoughts on the upcoming "Doctor Who" spin-off series. In his interview with the Radio Times, Ness said that the main character was someone brand new, adding that there were "lots and lots and lots" of brand new, as those were what he wanted to see. For the author, he wanted to see somebody come up with something new.

Ness also teased whether Capaldi would make an appearance in "Class." In the same interview, Ness said that he could neither yet confirm nor deny. However, he pointed out that he was a big Capaldi fan, saying "let's put it that way."

Ness explained that he was not going to answer the question and said that he had already started ignoring the sort of baiting, trolling tweets of "We've heard this!" and "my sources say!" He said that he just laughed, as some of the stuff he had seen were so wildly wrong. For Ness, 2016 could have been a fun year. According to Den of Geek, while it is still unknown if Capaldi could make an appearance, but it is very likely to happen.

Written by Ness, "Class" is going to have eight parts. Set at Coal Hill School, the spin-off series will focus on younger characters.

"Class" is set to premiere in 2016 on BBC.
