TV Review: Doctor Who: Infinite Quest (2007)

This animated version of Doctor Who features David Tennant voicing the Doctor and Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones.  They travel together solving cases, and this one is difficult.  I starts with the Doctor thwarting Baltazar (Anthony Head) in his desire to destroy the Earth and turn the life forces in diamonds.  After this event, he swears revenge on the Doctor, and eventually escapes prison intent on this.  He has learned of the Infinite Ship from jail mates, and plans to find it as it grants "your hearts desire."  Their efforts to catch up with Baltazar takes them to several different plants, and eventually to the jail where the Doctor is imprisoned, as the warden has been replaced by inmates and everything is upside down.  The Doctor is abandoned on the planet, with Martha Jones hostage to help find the ship.  They eventually find it, but the Doctor arrives after repairing Baltazar's flying robot and coming to the rescue.  The Infinite Quest turns out just to be another kind of prison.
This was entertaining, but I still am not sure if I am a fan of the animated version of Doctor Who.  But I do like the voices of Tennant and Agyeman.
