Neil Gaiman will return to Doctor Who – as will the Cybermen
by Doc on Nov.07, 2012, under Television
Helmer Steven Moffat confirmed today that Neil Gaiman is indeed writing an episode of Doctor Who that will be part of the current season (it was earlier suggested that his episode may get pushed back for budgetary reasons), and that the episode will mark the return of the Cybermen. Not much else is known, but we do know that the episode will co-star Warwick Davis (Willow, the Leprechaun and Star Wars movies, and more recently Life’s Too Short), Tamzin Outhwaite (EastEnders) and Jason Watkins (Being Human).
Neil Gaiman won a Hugo award for last season’s episode, “The Doctor’s Wife”.
Update: The first day of filming was today!
