}}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 (Scott Haran), and his scientifically-gifted best friend, Benny Sherwood (Percelle Ascott), 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.[1]

Production-wise, Wizards vs Aliens was created to fill the schedule gap left by the Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures after it was cancelled due to the death of its lead actress Elisabeth Sladen.[2][3] 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 (6 two-part serials). Series 2, made up of 14 episodes (7 serials) aired between 28 October–10 December 2013, while a third and final series of 10 episodes (5 serials) was broadcast between 27 October–25 November 2014.

Co-creator and former executive producer Russell T Davies stated that the show could "easily run for ten years",[4] however, the programme was put on hiatus due to financial reasons in January 2015.

Premise

Wizards vs Aliens is an action, adventure series which sees the collision of two very different worlds.

The first series focuses on Tom Clarke, a 16-year-old Wizard, and his adolescent best friend Benny Sherwood as they come across the forces of an alien race called the Nekross who have invaded Earth to consume anything or anyone connected to Magic.

The second series continues the battle between the two sides and sheds more focus on magical creatures and locations and Jathro and Kooth's plan to overthrow the Nekross royals.

In the third series, Tom and Benny part ways when Benny receives an opportunity to work with MIT in America. The Nekross return to Earth's galaxy, with Varg, now King Regent of the empire, intending to have vengeance on Tom for turning his sister Lexi into a human (which he did to save her life) and sending her to Earth. He is assisted by his wife Lady Lyzera, who is secretly a sorceress who wishes to take Earth's magic for herself and take over the universe.

Cast and characters

Wizards / Unenchanted

  • Scott Haran as Thomas Robert "Tom" Clarke – A football-loving teenage wizard who defends wizardkind and Earth from the alien Nekross.
  • Percelle Ascott as Benjamin Claude "Benny" Sherwood – Tom's nerdy "unenchanted" best friend whose vast knowledge of science finds its use with Tom's magic against the Nekross.
  • Annette Badland as Ursula Crowe – Tom's happy-go-lucky grandmother and Michael's mother-in-law, a wizard descended from the Magical Line of Crowe. She is also Tom's tutor when training him in magic and spells.
  • Michael Higgs as Michael Clarke – Tom's widowed father and Ursula's son-in-law; an unenchanted who works as a veterinarian. His main concern is his son's safety and making sure he grows up without having to rely on magic all the time.
  • Dan Starkey as Randal Moon – A hobgoblin who lives in the Chamber of Crowe - the source of the Magical Line of Crowe's magic - and aids the Wizards and their unenchanted allies with his vast knowledge of potions and spells.

Nekross

  • Jefferson Hall (Series 1–2), later Kristian Phillips (Series 3) as Varg – Prince of Nekron and later King Regent; son of the Nekross King, Lexi's older brother and Lady Lyzera's husband, who fights the Wizards with brute strength.
  • Gwendoline Christie as Lexi (Series 1–2) – 17-year-old Princess of Nekron; daughter of the Nekross King and Varg's younger sister, whose strategic skills and in-depth research into Earth's culture helps her kind in their battles against the Wizards.
  • Voice of Brian Blessed as The Nekross King (Series 1–2) – King of the Nekross's home planet of Nekron and father to Varg and Lexi. Immobile on the starship Zarantulus due to his obese size, he is in charge of the Royal Family's mission to find and consume all magic on Earth.
  • Tom Bell as Technician Jathro 15 – A Nekross of the Zarantulus technician class, who assists Varg and Lexi in their schemes against the Wizards while secretly working for his mother, Chancellor Kooth, as part of their plan to overthrow the Royal Family.
  • Alex Childs as Lady Lyzera (Series 3) – Queen Regent of Nekron and Varg's wife; secretly a Nekross Sorceress who schemes to harvest Earth's magic for herself and use it to conquer the universe.

Recurring

  • Manpreet Bambra as Katie Lord – Tom and Benny's classmate and Tom's love interest, who is unaware that Tom is a Wizard.
  • Connor Scarlett as Quinn Christopher – Tom and Benny's classmate who used to tease Benny but eventually befriends him. Like Katie, he has no idea of Tom's true nature.
  • Voice of Brian Herring as Stickley (Series 2) – a Hobbledehoy, a mischievous magical creature that speaks in rhyme. He resides in the Chamber of Crowe.
  • James Barriscale as Mr Fisher – a science teacher at King's Park High.

International broadcasts and releases

In Poland, the show aired on teleTOON+ between 6 April 2013 – 1 January 2014.
