Since I started reading Sandman comics in the '90s, I could then say that Neil Gaiman was one of my favourite authors, after years of books like American Gods, Anansi Boys, Coraline, and The Graveyard Book, I can honestly now say he's in my top three. Saturday night I watched the latest episode of Doctor Who and sat spellbound for an hour as I watched an episode written by Mr. Gaiman. First of all, I don't want to give a lot of spoilers, so I'm going to have to limit myself on praise for the episode. Here goes:
1) This is probably my current favourite episode of the new season
2) The episode is full of nods to previous Doctors
3) The major idea behind the episode was such a great, simple idea, I can't believe I had never seen it in an episode before.
Honestly, if you're not currently watching Doctor Who, give it a shot - up here in Canada its on my local Science Fiction station, and I can honestly say it's probably the best currently airing SF show out there - also your kids will love it.
