Hey, at least it shows commitment to the brand.

Nice clickbait.

As for this news, nice to read even though we haven't even seen any of the show yet.

As I said when this was first mooted, this is potentially a brilliant idea. Snag kids when they're really young and hopefully that's a ready made audience for the parent show once they're old enough to watch it.

Doctor Who officially commisioned for 52 new episodes!!

Not impressed.

Well, based on the RFP, it sounded like the BBC was looking for something a little more involved than every episode consisting of spinning a wheel to find which themed object matched a themed asteroid that was going to hit in exactly... four minutes, so best wishes to them.

This is one franchise I can easily being turned into something pre-schooler friendly. I haven't watched them, but hopefully this will be something along the lines of the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Iron Man and His Awesome Friends, and Young Jedi Adventures, which from what I've seen look pretty good for pre-school shows, and not Star Trek Scouts.

Weirdly with toys etc commercially A CBeebies cartoon could be the most successful and recognised Doctor WHO since, what, the 50th?!
