Tennat to voice the Doctor for another cartoon adventure

While David Tennant's era as Doctor Who's titular time traveler is winding down, he sure doesn't seem to be in any hurry to put the role behind him. In addition to the upcoming specials and his appearance as the Doctor in an upcoming Sarah Jane Adventures story, he'll also lend his voice to Dreamland, an animated episode that will appear later this year via the UK's "red button" video service and will later screen on BBC2.

Tennant previously voiced the Doctor for The Infinite Quest, a fun and fantastically designed animated serial that aired a few years ago. Below is an image of how Tennant will appear in Dreamland, and the design looks much more stiff and businesslike.



Yikes! Paint him blue, and he could almost pass for one of the aliens in that Avatar trailer. But the story sounds like it could be interesting, as we follow the Doctor back to the Roswell, New Mexico of 1958.

During a visit to a local diner he stumbles upon 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.

Joining David Tennant will be Georgia Moffett (Doctor Who, Spooks) in the role of Cassie Rice – the Doctor's new animated companion.

David Warner (Wallander, Hogfather) also stars as the leader of the ruthless Viperox.
