A special one-off mini-episode of Doctor Who is to air on BBC Three.

Earlier this year, the BBC launched a competition for primary school pupils aged 9 to 11 to write a three-minute Who script.

Winning entry 'Death Is The Only Answer' has been written by children from Oakley CE Junior School in Basingstoke and will air in the Autumn.

Doctor Who star Matt Smith said: "It was so clever, we were all just bowled over, it was a brilliant script."

The mini-episode's production will be covered in this Saturday's edition of BBC Three's behind-the-scenes show Doctor Who Confidential.

'Death Is The Only Answer' will be broadcast on BBC Three on October 1st.

The fact a bunch of kids came up with a title like "Death is the Only Answer" is quite impressive.

I'm surprised they're not holding this for Children in Need, but it'll be cool to see it, though I assume those of us outside the UK will need to YouTube it or cross our fingers it gets included in the full-season Blu-ray box alongside the Comic Relief minis.
