Doctor Who’s David Tennant turned into cartoon for new BBC series
August 22nd, 2009 - 5:43 pm ICT by ANILondon, August 22 (ANI): A cartoon version of the outgoing Doctor Who, David Tennant, will soon be seen in a new BBC series.
Entitled Dreamland, the series will see Tennant’s cartoon character visit the notorious US alien hotspot Roswell.
He stumbles across a mysterious alien artefact that leads him on a mission to rescue Rivesh Mantilax from the threat of the Viperox, and the clutches of the American military.
The show will also see Cassie Rice, played by Georgia Moffett.
A one-off episode in the main series had starred Moffett as the doctor’s daughter, Jenny.
Dreamland will be premiered as six seven-minute episodes on the BBC Red Button, and the Doctor Who website.
In the autumn, it will be aired on a single show on CBBC and BBC Two.
Fans will also be able to get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show via the website.
“Dreamland is a remarkable project and I’m thrilled with it,” Sky News quoted executive producer Russell T Davies as saying.
“Phil Ford is a wonderful writer and promises to send the Doctor into a whole new visual dimension,” Davies added.
Tennant is to appear in three live action Doctor Who specials later this year, before Matt Smith becomes the 11th Time Lord. (ANI)
