The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)

 was the second episode of Class. It was released at the same time as For Tonight We Might Die, on BBC Three.

It saw the death of Coal Hill Academy headteacher Mr Armitage, who began as a recurring character in Doctor Who's Into the Dalek two years prior.

The story focused heavily on Ram, and how he dealt with the events that unfolded in the previous story.

A subplot involving an robot inspector emerged in this episode. It was later revealed that the robot had been sent by a mysterious organisation, who seemed to be interested in the activities of Miss Quill.

Synopsis
Ram Singh has seen too much. His girlfriend's dead, he lost his leg, and now he sees a gruesome corpse in the locker room. Meanwhile, he has trouble adapting to his new prosthetic leg, screwing up in football. Someone else dies. Is it all in his head, or is this the work of a skin-peeling dragon?
