But wtf is this about commissioning 52 10' episodes of a
Doctor Who animated show for ... cBeebies? Doctor Who for the
under 5s? What kind of a mad idea is that?

 
Yeah, "Doctor Who" [the main show] is in limbo at the moment as
the BBC touts it out to bidders for the overseas streaming
rights... but in the meantime, let's go forward and commission
some animated kids stories for the cBeebies channel. <rolls eyes>
 
Weird.
 

I see how the specification insists that any messages must be
woven “seamlessly” into the plot, and “never to the detriment of
fun, action and age-appropriate humour.”

Perhaps the BBC feels recent eras have been a bit too preachy.
Aggy won’t be able to make up his mind whether to be happy
the BBC has come round to his way of thinking, or worried at
the possibility of more children being groomed!
