In his latest blog update, Neil Gaiman has confirmed that the read-through of his Series 6 episode will be taking place in Cardiff this coming Tuesday, the 31st of August!

It’s thought that his highly-anticipated story will be the third episode of Matt Smith’s second series, and in his new post the writer confirms: “This morning I was sent the producers’ “this is what we can afford” edited draft of my script. I’ll do a polish on that. And then we’re pretty much done. I think. I hope. I pray.”

He adds: “My Doctor Who episode is Bigger in every way, inside and outside: I’ve asked them for the impossible, and they’ve knocked themselves out to give it to me, and when they can’t they’ve managed to somehow give me the very improbable.)”
