Wizards vs Aliens

Wizards vs Aliens is a British TV show broadcast on the children's channel CBBC. The series is about a young wizard Tom Clarke (Scott Haran) who discovers that an alien race, the Nekross, are invading the earth. Along with his family and best friend Benny (Precelle Ascott) he tries to stop them, but it's not as easy as it seems when nobody is supposed to know about magic, a power that the Nekross find particularly interesting.

Dawn of the Nekross (Part 1)
In this pilot episode, Tom learns about the existence of the aliens when, during a school trip he recalls visions of a wizard boy being abducted by aliens. Benny, the school geek, finds a magic ring and wants to examine it. But the aliens are on the lookout for magic and without the boys' knowledge, they have taken control of their teacher Miss Webster (Sara Stewart). The voolox, the alien device controlling Miss Webster, is given the command to track down the ring and eventually follows Benny into the school when he sneaks in later in the evening to do some research. When Benny does not give her the rings, the Voolox becomes visible and attacks Benny, but Tom's magic eventually kills the creature and Miss Webster is saved from the aliens' control.
