Neil Gaiman completes Series 6 script draft
April 29th, 2010
Neil Gaiman has revealed that he has now completed the draft script for his upcoming Doctor Who episode, which will hit our screens next year as part of the sixth series, Matt Smith’s second as the Doctor.
The acclaimed sci-fi and fantasy writer, behind such novels as Stardust and Coraline, and co-writer of the 2007 hit movie Beowulf, broke the news to his Twitter followers earlier today when he tweeted: “Doctor Who episode next season draft done and in.”
He confirmed his involvement in the series – which was heavily rumoured for years - while attending the SFX Weekender convention back in February.
Look forward to this! I loved Neverwhere, the original TV version. It’s good to see big names from sci-fi and fantasy being given the opportunity to write an episode too; hopefully others will get the opportunity too.
yay! finally! i loved coraline and stardust, and neil will bring something new to doctor who
that is really exciting news. I’m a huge fan of his back when he wrote the “Sandman” comics. Brilliant, brilliant writer
