Wizards vs Aliens is a British science fantasy television programme produced by BBC Cymru Wales and FremantleMedia Enterprises for CBBC and created by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford. The series focuses on the exploits of 16-year-old wizard Tom Clarke and his scientifically-gifted best friend Benny Sherwood in their fight against the Nekross, a magic-consuming alien race who have arrived on Earth with the intention of hunting down wizards and feasting on their magical energies. Production-wise, Wizards vs Aliens was created to fill the schedule gap left by the Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures after its cancellation due to the death of the programme's lead Elisabeth Sladen. Despite being produced by the same creative force behind The Sarah Jane Adventures, Wizards vs Aliens has no relation to Doctor Who. Two series were commissioned by the BBC in late 2011. The programme premiered on 29 October 2012 with a first series of 12 episodes.
