There's been a rumor floating around for ages that award-winning author Neil Gaiman was going to be writing a new Doctor Who episode. The rumor has finally been confirmed, and it seems he will be writing an episode for Matt Smith's second series.

Neil has been a Doctor Who fan since he was three, and after many months of deliberately vague and noncommittal statements, finally revealed "it's quite possible that I might have written an episode. And if I had, it would originally have been called "The House of Nothing". But it definitely isn't called that any more."

Despite still arguably not definitively saying he was doing a script, I think it's pretty safe to assume he will be.

I first read Neil Gaiman twenty-some years ago with his Hitchhiker's Guide companion book "Don't Panic!" and soon afterwards, "Good Omens", then became a diehard fan with the Sandman series. All I can say is I know I'm looking forward to seeing it in 2011!
