If you're a fan of Doctor Who or Mr. Men (or, ideally, both), we've got some splendid news for you: their two worlds are about collide.

Yep: Adam Hargreaves (the son of Mr. Men creator Roger Hargreaves) has written and illustrated a whole 12-book, Mr Men-style series based on the adventures of the 12 different Doctors -- right through from William Hartnell to Peter Capaldi.

The clip above is an animated version of Dr. Twelfth -- a sweet little tale of Peter Capaldi's Doctor chasing Missy through time, narrated by Michelle Gomez.

Here are the first four covers, in all their illustrated glory:
