"The Infinite Quest"
13 episode animated serial
Segment in Totally Doctor Who Series 2

The BBC is reporting
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2007/01/26/40315.shtml
that David Tennant and Freema Agyeman will carry their roles as The Doctor
and Martha over to "The Infinite Quest", a 13 week animated serial that will
be a weekly segment during the 2nd series of Totally Doctor Who. Anthony
Head (Giles on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Headmaster in the School Reunion
episode, Grayvorn in the Big Finish "Excelis" series) will star as
Baltazar - Scourge Of The Galaxy. Written by Alan Barnes and directed by
Gary Russell.

This marks the first time that a Doctor Who animated story has been made for
TV.

The BBC Doctor Who website previously produced 4 animated/partially animated
stories - Death Comes To Time (Sylvester McCoy as 7th Doctor), Real Time
(Colin Baker as 6th Doctor), Shada (Paul McGann as 8th Doctor), and The
Scream Of The Shalka (Richard E. Grant as 9th Doctor). Episodes 2 and 3 of
The Invasion, a Patrick Troughton story, were animated for the DVD release
to complete the story as the video for the episodes has been lost since the
1970s.

Series 1 of Totally Doctor Who aired on BBC One (BBC Two last 2 episodes)
with repeats on CBBC. The series ran the same weeks as new episodes of
Doctor Who, and is expected to repeat the pattern this year. Series 1 was
not broadcast overseas.
