Sorry for the abundance of posts today but this was too big not to post
http://www.sfx.co.uk/page/sfx?entry=exclusive_neil_gaiman_confirms_doctor OMFG Neil Gaiman Yes this is equivalent to Douglas Adams writing for the Classic Series for me. Not saying Gaiman & Adams are the same (well except both being British) but just the fact that they are two authors I adore.
And of course Gaiman denied he was writing for the new series because it won't be till the next one such a long wait woah. But with him being such a big fan, a big name in the Sci-fi field, and apparently friends with Moffat you would think something would have come of it. And finally it did. YAY!
I am just waiting for him to confirm this on his Twitter page or Blog!
