Russell T Davies: ‘Aliens Vs Wizards’ will be ‘wild, funny, thrilling and scary’

Posted Filed under

Co-created by Phil Ford (The Sarah Jane Adventures), the new action adventure drama was announced yesterday.

Davies commented: “Writing for children is the biggest challenge of all and I think CBBC stands right at the heart of broadcasting. So I’m delighted to launch this show, a true nationwide collaboration – a Salford commission from a BBC Wales team. We’re joining genres too – the show’s a wild, funny, thrilling and sometimes scary collision of magic and science fiction.”

The writer added: “Wizards have never met aliens before, and when they do, the result is spectacular! The mysterious Nekross know exactly what to do with magicians. Eat them! Let battle be joined!”

Produced by BBC Cymru Wales in association with FremantleMedia Enterprises, twelve 30-minute episodes will air on CBBC this autumn.
