was a special animated Doctor Who serial broadcast during Series 3. It was written by Alan Barnes, directed by Gary Russell, and featured David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones.
It was produced for Totally Doctor Who. The show's live-action stars voiced their animated counterparts in this, the first made-for-television animated Doctor Who adventure. The serial was initially broadcast in twelve instalments of approximately three and a half minutes each; the thirteenth and concluding chapter, however, was not broadcast individually, but was incorporated into a re-edited omnibus version that incorporated the preceding twelve parts. The total running time of the serial was approximately that of a regular live-action episode. Although produced by the BBC using the show's actors, and clearly set within the Series Three timeframe, The Infinite Quest is not considered an episode of the third series.
The Tenth Doctor and Martha must find the legendary lost starship, the Infinite, before the evil Baltazar, scourge of the Galaxy, gets it.
Part 1
Totally Doctor Who series 2, episode 1 on 2 April, 2007. Baltazar is aboard his spaceship looking upon a digital display of the Earth. Caw is with him, in a spherical cage. Baltazar gives the order for the plasma cannons to prepare to fire upon the Earth. The TARDIS materialises aboard Baltazar's ship. The Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones step out, and the Doctor tells Martha of Baltazar's title as scourge of the galaxy. Baltazar reveals that his plan is to consume the earth in a field of plasma fire that will compress all carbon-based life forms and reduce them to diamonds. The Doctor reveals his plan to stop Baltazar using a spoon he produces from his pocket — which Baltazar chops in half, causing it to fall upon the deck. The Doctor explains that the spoon was made on a planet that specialised in hydroxide fungus, which causes the deck of the ship to rust quickly. Baltazar falls through the rusting floor. At Martha's prompting the Doctor frees Caw from his cage with his sonic screwdriver before flying off in the TARDIS. The Doctor predicts the most likely planet for Baltazar to be put in prison would be Volag-Noc. The Doctor asks Martha to give him three random numbers for the destination settings — which take them to Copacabana Beach. As they fly off, Baltazar's ship falls apart with the rust but Baltazar escapes riding on Caw, vowing to get back at the Doctor.
Part 2
Totally Doctor Who series 2, episode 2 on 13 April, 2007. The Doctor is flying the TARDIS at high speeds, when Caw catches it in flight, and takes it to his home planet of Pheros. He gives Martha a brooch, a present for saving him, then tells the Doctor that Baltazar has been released from jail — and that he fears that Baltazar will come after him as he sold him out. Caw goes on to say that Baltazar is looking for the Infinite — an object that will give him his heart's desire. The Doctor believes this to be just a legend, but Caw tells him that Baltazar knows how to find it. He coughs out a data chip — which Baltazar has given him for safe keeping — and tells the Doctor that you need to use each chip to find another one — then that will lead you to the Infinite. The Doctor goes to break the data chip to keep the Infinite lost, but Caw stops him, saying that Baltazar has a copy. The Doctor decides to go on the quest to prevent to Infinite fall into Baltazar's hands. As he leaves in the TARDIS, Baltazar is revealed behind it. Caw confirms that the "tracker" is in place — and Baltazar boasts that the Doctor will lead him to his heart's desire — and he will have his revenge.
Part 3
Totally Doctor Who series 2, episode 3 on 20 April, 2007. The Doctor and Martha land on the first planet — called Boukon, a world heated by artificial suns and where Oil Corporation is taking the last of the oil to fuel the empire, because they ran out on Earth. The rigs begin to move towards the travellers when a ship comes up from the sand and uses ropes to attach itself to one of the rigs. In the process, the TARDIS falls off the edge onto the sand. The captain introduces herself as Captain Kaliko, and explains that they are destroying the rigs to help "fuel the poor" because prices have become too high. She then accuses the travellers of being Oil Corp spies, and orders her (literal) skeleton crew to kill the travellers.

•The Doctor makes mention of the greatest chefs on Earth and the Copacabana Beach.
•The Doctor mentions the Racnoss, Great Vampires and the Nestene.
•The Great Old Ones are also mentioned. The Infinite holds the last vestiges of the power of one of them that died.
•The Doctor destroys Baltazar's ship with a spoon.
•Martha wonders if the Doctor's request to call out random numbers is like a "space lottery".
•Sand can interfere with the operation of the Doctor's sonic screwdriver if it clogs the inner components.
•The Infinite Quest was broadcast as part of Totally Doctor Who. A behind-the-scenes feature on the making of the serial (included on the DVD) was produced for the children's programme; one of its hosts, Barney Harwood, voices a minor character in the serial.
•The story was also run as a full episode, with the last part following on from the end of part twelve. Total running time is approximately the equivalent of one standard live-action episode; this is the format used for the DVD release.
•Martha Jones explains this adventure in the Sunday, July 01, 2007 Entry in her Blog.
•Companions and Allies and the episode index at the back of the 2011 edition of Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia both place this story between 42 and Human Nature.
•The compilation adds a shot of the TARDIS flying in the vortex in episode 1 after the travellers escape Baltazar's ship.
•The compilation also adds the Doctor Who introduction between episodes 1 and 2 — which is the same as a normal introduction, but with the TARDIS resembling the animated style of the story rather than looking like the live action version.
•The Doctor tells Martha "don't do that" when she attempts to speak like a pirate. This follows a similar admonition she received in TV: The Shakespeare Code when trying to talk in "old English", against Rose Tyler attempting a Scottish accent, (TV: Tooth and Claw) while Donna Noble would later receive this request twice (in different contexts). (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp, Midnight)
•Episode 2 implies that some time passes for the Doctor and Martha between the events of episode 1, where they defeat Baltazar and meet the young Caw, and episode 2 where they encounter the older Caw and are given their mission.
•When Martha is eager to rush out of the TARDIS when it lands on Myarr, the Doctor warns that sabre-toothed gorillas could be out there. The second incarnation of The Doctor with John and Gillian Who once encountered a tribe of sabre toothed gorillas (COMIC: The Sabre-Toothed Gorillas) and the Master once fed a group of Earth colonists to Sabre-Toothed Gorillas in the Galactic Zoo. (PROSE: A letter from the Master)
•Gurney says that the Doctor's crimes have earned him two billion years in prison. The Twelfth Doctor would later spend billions of years imprisoned inside a confession dial by the Time Lords. (TV: Heaven Sent)
