The Doctor Who tardis is heading to CBeebies.
The BBC has announced the next stage in the expansion of its Whoniverse, a pre-school animation version of its big-selling IP.
The show will see the Doctor travelling through time and space for the pre-school audience, solving mysteries and problems alongside their companions and other friends. And, of course, they may come up against one or two challenges on their way.
The BBC has set out a desire to find a “passionate production company” to produce the series, which will run independently from the main show.
Speaking about the plans, Patricia Hidalgo, Director of Children’s and Education said: “Everyone is welcome at CBeebies, including the Doctor! This much-loved franchise entertains millions around the world, so it is only right that our younger audience get to experience the wonder and the magic of the Doctor in a brand new format. This is an extremely exciting opportunity, and we are looking forward to welcoming companies to pitch for this new project, as we continue our commitment and investment in the UK’s animation industry.”
