I just heard this has been renewed for 26 episodes.
I'm not sure I understand why people are getting so up in arms about this. Yes it has its flaws but come on - its a damn sight better than some of the rubbish they're putting out for kids.
Probably, though the only other shows I watch that are actually defined as for kids (as opposed to "family") are SJA and Shaun the Sheep, so perhaps I have rather high expectations
I suspect the reaction is because it's specifically DW-related, and it feels like a betrayal. Actually, I've watched all the episodes they broadcast (they left out about six, I think) and I'd give it an OK-if-you-don't-expect-too-much. They do make some stupid mistakes, though, ranging from not knowing the difference between MI5 and MI6 to thinking 48 degrees north is in the "far north" of Canada.
