Wizards vs Aliens
Wizards vs Aliens was a children's science fantasy television series that ran on CBBC from 2012-2014. The series followed the adventures of 16-year-old wizard Tom Clarke (Scott Haran) and his scientifically gifted best friend Benny Sherwood (Percelle Ascott) as they battle against the Nekross, an alien race who have come to Earth with the intention of hunting down wizards and feasting on their magical energy.
The show was created by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford and, production-wise, was commissioned to fill the scheduling gap left by the cancellation of The Sarah Jane Adventures, following Elisabeth Sladen's passing.[1]
