Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wizards vs. Aliens, a CBBC Science Fantasy series for children from Russell T. Davies and Phil Ford. The premise is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. The evil Nekross, who eat magic, have come to Earth, the last place in the universe where their foodstuff still exists. They are opposed by young wizard Tom, his Muggle friend Benny, and Tom's eccentric grandmother Ursula.The series has a bittersweet genesis. It was initially intended as a six episode "replacement" series to air instead of The Sarah Jane Adventures while Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane, recovered from cancer. After her death, it served as its Spiritual Successor. The Series 2 episode "The Thirteenth Floor" originated as an unproduced script for Sarah Jane Adventures, never made because of the cancellation of the series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Three series have been made so far; the show has been on an indefinite hiatus due to budgeting issues since late 2014. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Wizards vs. Aliens / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: This show might be geared towards children, but the tone is positively bleak at times (see Downer Ending below) and can be shockingly frightening with high stakes each story arc. Notable because the show it follows in the footsteps of, The Sarah Jane Adventures, could also get similarly gritty tonally and make a mess of one's emotions, but this one takes it further with more adult themes and even less restraint in leaving the audience feeling broken down (though admittedly one of the stories, The Thirteenth Floor, was originally an SJA story before being rewritten to fit into this universe and setting). It also has a more continuous Story Arc with the Nekross always being present, as opposed to the Monster of the Week stories of the other show (though it had story arcs of its own, they were looser and the two-parters were more self-contained aside from some recurring villains and Foreshadowing). | |

| Wizards vs. Aliens / int_ce767e6f | comment |
Co-Dragons: Varg and Lexi often play this role to their father, the Nekross King, though not strictly heirarchally - there are others of more authority and political power under him, so the siblings are generally just The Heavy more of the time. Lexi's apparent Heel–Face Turn in the Season 2 finale has uplifted this though. | |
