The new series of Doctor Who is due to start filming soon (the Eleventh Doctor’s second series already!) and everyone is gagging to know about Neil Gaiman’s episode that he has written.

In an interview with Metro, Gaiman commented that after Stephen Moffat revealed some info on the episode, he was relieved that he could finally talk about it.

“I figure that anything that Stephen Moffat has revealed about my episode, I am also at liberty to reveal in public.

“He said that it’s going to be on television and that it will be in colour.”

Gaimen is the latest of quality writers to pen a script for Doctor Who, some others of note being Douglas Adams and Richard Curtis.

The episode is expected to air in 2011 as part of the next series (series 2, or season 32 or series 6 or series Hootnanny). Saying that, we’re still waiting for Stephen Fry’s episode…
