New Doctor Who Animation?

 

According to Twitter user Adrian Hon (@adrianhon), there is a new Doctor Who animation in development. How does he know?

Hon is currently the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer at Six to Start, a cross-media entertainment company that already has active links with both the BBC and Penguin books (current owners of BBC Children's Books).

The news was revealed on Adrian Hon's Twitter feed on April 30th - although little has been heard on the subject since.

New #doctorwho animated series, Dreamland, announced at BBC multiplatform day, starring David Tennant and airing at Christmas.

Further information was given as to the source of the information:

Source is the BBC Drama Mulitplatform commisioner, Rosie Allimonos. No other sources because this was the very first announcment

No idea of length, animation house or co-stars - however some speculation suggests that Dreamland will be a red-button interactive game available to digital users over the Christmas period or leading up to The Waters of Mars...

Doctor Who previously appeared as an animation in 2007's Infinite Quest (pictured) by Alan Barnes, which starred David Tennant, Freema Agyeman and Anthony Head.

More Doctor Who Movie Talk

 

 

That redtop publication that we don't link to (but that you can find in all newsagents outside of Merseyside) has restoked the Doctor Who movie theory by reporting an interesting change on Russell T Davies' website that was then hastily amended.

We reported recently how Russell had been spotted queing for a US work visa at the American Embassy, hot on the heels of Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter moving stateside; meanwhile David Tennant has been confirmed as hosting Masterpiece Theater which may well involve a trip to the US.

So what is Russell T Lady up to?

His agent listed the movie as part of Russ’s credits on his web profile, but took it down after net geeks rumbled it.

A source said: “He is secretive about Doctor Who. Let's hope the rumours are right.”

It just won't go away, will it?

David tennant is finished his time with doctor who

Sad day...

After yesterdays inside filming, Benjamin Cook commented on twitter that "thats a wrap" indicating that Tennant has finished filming on Who....

Of course there might be pick ups and other minor things, but it looks like maybe the main filming is over. We might not see another Tennant set report again for Who.

Benjamin Cook also quoted David Tennant from the set yesterday as saying, "I'm like an uncool spiderman", which of course led to an outburst of speculation as to what he was doing: kissing upside down, wearing some kind of skin-tight suit (perhaps for regeneration) or maybe it was completely un-who related.

Either way, Tennants time filming may be over, but we've still go 3 specials to go and all the interviews and extra media goodness that comes with them.

Plus Matt Smith starts filming in a month or so :)
