Class: The Audio Adventures was a series of six stories centred around the Doctor Who spin-off Class. The stories were released in two box sets, each composed of three stories.
All six regular actors returned voicing their characters. The series also saw the return of Ace and the Daleks, after their previous visit to Coal Hill in 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks. Patrick Ness, who created the show and wrote its first series, was involved with the storyline and scripts of the audio series, despite not writing any of the stories.[1][2]
While "Up All Night" wasn't used as the theme tune for the series, the stories contained the Class theme, which played over the closing credits of the TV stories.
Because the licence was aquired before the show's cancellation, the audio stories for Volume One and Volume Two couldn't develop the cliffhanger of the first series' final episode, as they might create a conflict with a potential second series, which never came to be. Thus, all six stories being developed needed to take place within the events of the show's first series.[1]

However, due to scheduling and developing of the storylines, it took a while for the stories to actually go through and get recorded.[1]
- The physical copies of Volume One and Volume Two had a slightly wider cover than the digital version, so that the illustrations formed a single image when put side-by-side[5]
