As we expected, Neil Gaiman is providing another Doctor Who episode, presumably for the second half of this series. Moffat had teased a returning writer who lived "far away," and here he is.

Gaiman confirmed it himself when accepting a Hugo for last year's superb The Doctor's Wife.

"Only a fool or a madman would try to do it again… so I'm on the third draft"

Here's hoping this episode stays where it's supposed to be and doesn't go wriggling away from us.
