This topic might have a better name.

Amorkuz: I'm not sure where "The Audio Adventures" comes from. The standard nomenclature would be Class (audio series).
Danniesen: On the Big Finish site they gave it the name "Class: The Audio Adventures Volume One and Two".
Borisashton: I am aware of this. However that is the only place I can find that name in full (excluding the leaked announcement) which is why I suggested the current proposal would be a better name for the article.
0003c9fe: I agree with the rename suggestion. On the official pages of the series/sets it is titled Class, and the boxsets are Class Volume 1/2, hence the title should be Class (audio series), not Class: The Audio Adventures.

Notes

  • Both volumes were first announced in DWM 526; individuals whose copies arrived early leaked the news to social media. That same day, Greg Austin posted on his Twitter about working with Big Finish. Indeed, as the news broke, the series did not yet have a page on the Big Finish website.[2][3]
  • Scott Handcock was approached by Nicholas Briggs about making audio stories for Class around the time the first series premiered, as he had gotten a licence for it. However, due to scheduling and developing of the storylines, it took a while for the stories to actually go through and get recorded.[4]
  • Because the licence was gotten early (before the show's cancellation), the audio stories 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.[4]
  • Patrick Ness was involved with the storyline and scripts of the audio series.[4][5]
