BBC Worldwide and Blue Ocean have teamed up to bring us the Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver Wiimote.

The device is an actual, fully-functioning, Wii Remote, rather than a slip-on cover, and has been developed to celebrate the launch of Doctor Who: Return To Earth, which is set to launch on the Wii sometime later this year.

As well as the Wiimote, Blue Ocean also has a Sonic Screwdriver stylus planned for DS users ahead of the launch of Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth, which will be exclusive to the handheld console. This stylus will come with either a Doctor Who themed zip-up case for the machine, or a slip cover.

The games will feature a Matt Smith Doctor along with his female companion Amy Pond (played by Karen Gillan) and the plot for the games has been devised by the TV show production team.

Developed by Asylum Entertainment, the two new games are the first for the Wii and DS to feature the Doctor within a story. Previously Doctor Who had appeared in a Top Trumps style title.
