The Doctor Gets Animated

We’re down to only three more on-screen appearances by David Tennant as the tenth Doctor.   And while the last three specials aren’t scheduled to air until later this year, fans can get a fix of the tenth Doctor in the fall when the BBC’s red button service will air the animated “Doctor Who” story, “Dreamland.”  The series will be seven episodes long and similar to last year’s “The Infinite Quest.”

Each episode will run about six minutes and star Tennant as the voice of the Doctor.  He’ll be joined by actress Georgia Moffett, Lisa Bowerman and David Warner according to the Den of Geek.

The story is by Phil Ford, the co-writer of the upcoming “The Waters of Mars” with Russell T. Davies.  Ford has also written scripts for “The Sarah Jane Adventures” and “Torchwood.”

And in a related “Doctor Who” story, Russell T. Davies is hinting that the tenth Doctor could guest star in an upcoming segement of “The Sarah Jane Adventures.”
