From Syfyportal, "The legend of The Doctor and his trusty companion is getting so big, even animators want to have a stab at him.
Russell T. Davies is launching yet another spinoff, so to speak, of "Doctor Who," this time taking the characters brought to life by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman, and turning them into a cartoon. "The Infinite Quest" will star both the actors reprising their live-action roles of The Doctor and Martha.
"The Doctor and Martha follow a trail of clues across wild and wonderful worlds, to find the location of the legendary lost spaceship, the Infinite," Davies told BBC. The series also will include an alum of the second season, Anthony Stewart Head -- best known to genre fans as Giles from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" -- will also be a part of the series, but not as the alien headmaster Mr. Finch in Season 2's "School Reunion," but as a new character: Baltazar - Scourge of the Galaxy.
Agyeman, who joins the live-action show in Season 3, replacing Billie Piper as The Doctor's companion, said the animated feature is just one more thing that has made her happy to have signed on to the series.
"I didn't think my 'Doctor Who' experience could get any more thrilling, but I was absolutely blown away when they approached me about the new animation series," she said. "The prospect of becoming a cartoon character was both exciting and also a bit nerve-wracking as it was the first time I have been asked to do voiceover work. It was such a fun experience, and now I can't wait to see how it all looks."
The series is being written by Alan Barnes and directed by Gary Russell. The animation will be drawn by Firestep, who did the previous animation venture for "Doctor Who." There is no word when the series will be released."

Eh, I kind of like the guerilla sci-fi TV standard that the BBC have enthusiastically pumped out all these years.
That isn't me saying it doesn't/won't suck, but it's charming in a low-rent way. Like Buckaroo Banzai with British accents.
