When you see many TV and movie franchises getting made into video games, you can only hope that one of your favorites will also get the treatment, and hopefully in a proper fashion. If you are a Dr. Who fan, your wait may finally be over.

BBC Worldwide has revealed that they are in talks to create a Dr. Who game for consoles, but the details are still sketchy, according to an article in Play.tm:

"We're having a lot of interesting discussions for a variety of ideas around Doctor Who that are complementary to each rather than in competition with each other - boxed product console games, virtual worlds and other experiences," offers BBC multimedia head Dave Anderson. "The deals we are looking at are in different spaces, probably looking at overlapping but different audiences and are certainly delivering a different kind of experience. The Doctor Who audience, who love that show, want to have different experiences around it and it has a huge shelf life going back 47 years."

Fans of the series have had little to sate their videogame habit, aside from an assortment of flash games. It will be interesting to see who the BBC gets to develop the games, and just how long fans will have to wait to see the Doctor on their PS3 or Xbox 360.
