DR Who provided the inspiration for an annual prep schools show.

More than 60 year 3 and 4 pupils from Barnard Castle Prep School were involved in staging Time Lord.

Dressed in convincing costumes and packed full of songs, the youngsters gave two evening performances and a matinee.

Year 3 teacher Fiona Killeen, who directed the show, said: “The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the play and loved the storyline and the catchy songs.

“Some of the highlights of the show were when the Dinopods did their rap, Boudicca went into a rage and Beethoven played his Funky Song.

“Parents made fantastic costumes and when we applied make-up and face paints it helped the children get into character for their performances.”
