The official Doctor Who website this morning has further details about the forthcoming childrens' series Totally Doctor Who. It says that the show is "recruiting cadets for a Companion Academy. Eight Cadets will be picked, but only the best will make it through the gruelling physical and mental challenges of the Academy. The prize? A day on the Doctor Who set. Or if you think you're the biggest Who brainbox around, take the Who-ru challenge. Stump the Totally Doctor Who studio guests with your Who knowledge and you'll walk away with some serious prizes. And Totally Doctor Who also want to hear how much you love Doctor Who. Have you built your own time machine or held a Doctor Who fancy dress party? Send in your photos, videos, stories, pictures, or anything else. Plus, if you've got a burning question you want to put to Doctor Who cast or crew, send it in and the Totally team will do their best to get an answer." There are instructions at the site for how to get involved.
As well as the details in the announcement on the official site, email correspondents are currently receiving an automated reply that mentions a couple more things about the forthcoming series. The message states that the first Totally Doctor Who show will be on BBC2 in mid-April and the series will then be "on CBBC"; this implies that the programme will not be on BBC One but on the digital channel CBBC. It also advises us to "keep checking the CBBC website" for updates, suggesting that TDW might actually be getting its own website, separate from the main Doctor Who site.
