Doctor Who will soon be available on the Nintendo DS and Wii, according to a report in The Sun. Last week Nintendo signed a £1m deal to bring the Time Lord to the consoles.

It is believed that the game has been in the offing for several years, but has now been signed off by BBC Worldwide.

Reports say that the game will be child-friendly, in line with most other Wii games. It is crucial for the game creators to avoid changing the nature of Doctor Who by making the game too violent.

The new Doctor Who series begins on 3 April at 6.25pm on BBC One. Click here to watch the trailer.
