New Doctor Who animated project in development?

Former Doctor Who Sylvester McCoy spoke to Shadowlocked about his several upcoming projects including of course his role in the Hobbit. It's a wonderful interview but one piece stood out to me regarding an animated project based on missing material.

Are you a fan of working with special effects? You're fairly used to it by now, I should imagine...

Yes, I am. Funny enough, I was doing some stuff like that yesterday. Working with a green screen background, I had to recreate the inside of the TARDIS - and it wasn't there [laughs]. Good fun, and all very silly!

What was the project?

Ian Levine's putting together a piece of work that didn't get completed over the years, and I was there as The Doctor to kind of 'Doctor Who' them up. There are pieces that have been done too for The Brigadier and The Master that were never quite completed, so that work will make them a rounded whole. Also there's the 30th anniversary show of Doctor Who that was never made, and we're going to do a cartoon version of that. I was doing my role in that as well.

...there were a couple of projects that we were doing. One was actually filming to beef up a piece that's already been done, and the other was recording voices with camera so they can do a lip-sync for the cartoon.

So the reconstruction of the TARDIS is for a disc release?

Yes.

Can I ask which story that is?

There are a few...Downtime - that's one that's got a lot of dialogue. The[inaudible] Vortex - much shorter. Search Out Space; and Destiny Of The Doctors...also some audio lines for Dark Dimension.
