Russell T Davies is back!

The legend behind the revival of Doctor Who is back with a brand new TV show!



Russell T Davies (the T stands for nothing) is to return to TV with a new television series entitled Aliens vs. Wizards, to be shown on CBBC. Expected to air in Autumn this year, the show sees a 16-year old wizard and his friend battling to save Earth from an alien race: the Nekross.

Writing for children in 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.

Davies' last venture was The Sarah Jane Adventures, which ended last year. Another Davies production is also in the works to be shown in the US.
