The Tardis is set to land on CBeebies for the first time, as the BBC wants to commission a new pre-school animation series about Doctor Who.
BBC Children’s is looking for a “passionate” production company to create and produce the show.
“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,” said Patricia Hidalgo, Director of Children’s and Education.
“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.”

It will run independently of the main Doctor Who show and will see the animated Doctor travelling through time and space, with stories orientated around a pre-school audience.
This will include solving mysteries and problems alongside their companions and other friends, plus overcoming challenges on their way.
More details about the brief are on the BBC Commissioning website.
