Neil Gaiman on Series 6
Big news this weekend. Award-winning writer Neil Gaiman has confirmed that he will be penning an episode of Doctor Who. The bad news? With series five’s writers finalised, we’ll have to wait until next year to see it.
Gaiman announced the news in a special message at the SFX Weekender where he said,
As anyone who’s read my blog knows, I’m a big fan of a certain long-running British SF TV series. One that started watching — from behind the sofa — when I was three. And while I know it’s cruel to make you wait for things, in about 14 months from now, which is to say, NOT in the upcoming season but early in the one after that, it’s quite possible that I might have written an episode. And if I had, it would originally have been called “The House of Nothing”. But it definitely isn’t called that any more.
Certainly something to look forward to in 2011! If you’re not sure who Neil Gaiman is, be sure to check out some of his work over on his site.
