The BBC is inviting pitches from production companies to make a new pre-school Doctor Who animation series “which will see the Doctor’s adventures come to CBeebies for the first time ever.”
The BBC says it is looking for a “passionate” production company to create and produce the series, which will run independently from the main show, that 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…”
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.”
