Filming begins on new CBBC action adventure drama

Filming has begun on Wizards Vs Aliens, a new action adventure drama penned by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford.
Wizards Vs Aliens, produced by BBC Cymru Wales in association with FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME), will air on CBBC this Autumn.
Starring newcomers Scott Haran as Tom Clarke and Percelle Ascott as Benny Sherwood, the series also features Annette Badland (Doctor Who, The Sparticles Mystery) Michael Higgs (Eastenders) Jefferson Hall (Doctors, Emma) and Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones). Don Gilet (Eastenders, Doctor Who) and Nina Sosanya (Teachers, Love Actually) make guest appearances as Benny’s parents.

 “Writing for children in the biggest challenge of all and I think CBBC stands right at the heart of broadcasting.” – Davies speaking earlier this year

    Its great we have the BBC still investing in kids shows. Saves us entirely from USA imports. How can America afford to still make Childrens’ TV and ITV can’t?
