The BBC have announced a new Doctor Who spin-off show set to debut this fall in conjunction with the seventh season of the show: The Ponds.

The show has a markedly laugh-track sitcom bent (with maybe a dash of Gilmore Girls) although that doesn’t preclude aliens or weird time shenanigans showing up in episodes. You can see the title sequence above. Don’t worry, it contains no spoilers for the forthcoming events of Doctor Who season 7.

Who’s excited? We definitely are! Let’s cross our fingers for cameos by Matt Smith and Alex Kingston!
