When we last heard from Russell T. Davies he was taking a sabbatical from the world of entertainment in order to be with his ailing partner Andrew. He did mention, however, that he had a “small commitment” with CBBC that had predated his plans and that he needed to see it through before completely stepping away. This project has now been announced and it is a new children’s television show called ‘Aliens vs. Wizards.’當我們上一次聽到羅塞爾·戴維斯的消息，他正遠離娛樂圈在和他生病的伙伴安德魯在休假。然而他確實提到，在這個計劃前，和CBBC有一個的“小承諾”，在看到它被通過之前需要完全遠離。現在，這個項目已經塵埃落定，它會是一個全新的兒童電視節目，被稱為“外星人大戰魔法師。”

The BBC describes the show as “Doctor Who meets Harry Potter.’ Davies is listed as co-creator along with Phil Ford who is known for writing the ‘Doctor Who’ episode ‘The Waters of Mars’ and the ‘Doctor Who: Dreamland’ series. He was also the head writer for ‘The Sarah Jane Adventures.’BBC電視臺將其形容為“當神秘博士遇見了哈利波特”。戴維斯會與菲爾福特合作創作，菲爾福特因“神秘博士”特別版“火星之水”和“神秘博士：夢境”系列被大家熟知。同時他還是“薩拉·簡的冒險”的首席作家。

The series will follow the same format as ‘SJA’ in that it will contain 12 two-part episodes lasting a half hour each and some of its episodes will be written by ‘SJA’ alumni Joseph Lidster and Gareth Roberts . It’s also been said that many of the crew who worked on ‘SJA’ will also be working on this new show.該系列將延續SJA之前的模式，它包含12集兩部分組成，每集一個半小時，劇集的一部分將由“SJA”老朋友Joseph Lidster和Gareth Roberts完成。有人表示，許多“SJA”成員也將加入這個新的劇組。

Even before this series was announced or even aired, the BBC has already ordered a second season. Apparently they must have a lot of faith in the show and think that it will be a big hit.該系列作品宣布正式啟動甚至是開播之前，英國廣播公司已經訂購了第二季。顯然，他們對這個節目投入了巨大的信任，并認為該劇將會帶來一個高收視率。

On a side note, on the agent’s page for Davies, it lists him as a writer for a 25 minute pilot called ‘Star Lost’ made for BBC Worldwide. Unfortunately, no other information was listed about the show. Hopefully it will be a pilot that will also air in the US for fans of Davies to enjoy too!另一方面表示，BBC世界頻道的一個25分鐘試點節目“星之隕落”已經把他列入了作者名單。遺憾的是，關于這個節目沒有其他相關信息。希望這將是一個嘗試，通過播出讓美國粉絲們也能夠欣賞RTD的作品。
