It had a talking, female incarnation of the TARDIS, a disembodied voice and was the most “Time Lordy” of all episodes since The End of Time. No wonder the Hugo judges loved it!
The success of 2011′s The Doctor’s Wife was always going to win awards, and the smart money might have been on a second story from Neil Gaiman – and at Saturday evening’s Hugo Awards ceremony the writer revealed that a second episode is in the offing!
However, we might not see it for a while yet. Although the writer observed that
…some hard work by io9.com’s Charlie Jane Anders reveals that the episode is currently scheduled to appear in the batch of episodes currently in production. Of course, The Doctor’s Wife – for which Gaiman was collecting a Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) – was originally intended for 2010′s Series 5, so it’s anyone’s guess whether or not we’ll get to see another episode by this hugely successful writer in 2013 or later.
Hopefully this will be the Cybermen reimagining story rumoured a while back…?
That seems to be the general theory.
It would be great to see a return of the mythology of the Cybermen, something ditched by Russell Davies that has had a detrimental effect on the Cybermen. So I’d like to see redisgned Cybermen with their history resored. Go back to Kit Pedlar and Telos. If anyone could give them credibility and make them scary again, it’s a writer of Gaiman’s caliber.
Definately looking forward to hearing more about this! Christian, any luck with my forum access yet mate? I dropped you a mail the other day
