It had to happen sooner or later, so the Three Who Rule ripped the bandage off by recording a commentary for The End of Time Part One, that neo-classic from Christmas 2009 containing such classic Who elements as magic potions, laser hands, randy senior citizens and Smell-O-Vision. Did the episode fare better this time round after the scolding it received in Radio Free Skaro 174? You decide. Also discussed was news of Gaiman, gay men, and gained men, er, companions. Onwards!

Friend of the site Simon Brew over at Den of Geek is reporting that Matthew Graham, creator of the landmark series Life on Mars and its follow-up Ashes to Ashes, and of course best known in the Doctor Who world for writing Fear Her in the second series of NuWho, will return to the Whoniverse in Series 6/2/32. No confirmation has yet come, however if this holds true he would be joining Neil Gaiman and (maybe) Jack Thorne in writing for Matt Smith’s sophomore outing.

Have a look at the report over at Den of Geek.

The notion of Neil Gaiman writing for Doctor Who apparently isn’t dead yet. The acclaimed writer appeared at the UCLA on February 4 for a speaking engagement. During his appearance, Gaiman answered several questions from the audience, one of which was about writing for Doctor Who. Jace Lacob, writer/editor of the award-winning television website Televisionary, was in attendance, and posted this comment on Twitter after the performance:

When asked if he will ever write a Doctor Who script, Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) nodded emphatically. Hmmm…

Gaiman had previously been rumoured to be writing a script for Matt Smith’s first series as The Doctor until he himself denied it on his own Twitter feed. While Gaiman hasn’t confirmed anything yet beyond his UCLA appearance, a Doctor Who script still appears to be a distinct possibility.

Gaiman could possibly join Skins writer Jack Thorne as a writer for the next series, as Thorne confirmed on his Twitter feed in July that he was also working on a script for Doctor Who.

UPDATE #1: Jace at Televisionary has now posted on his own blog about this. Here’s the link.
UPDATE #2: Neil Gaiman himself has confirmed the news at SFX. Here’s the link.

The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, #418, has revealed the titles for the first three Series Fnarg episodes! While spoiler hunters will have known the name of Matt Smith’s debut episode, the other two were well-kept secrets. Beginning Matt Smith’s premiere series will be The Eleventh Hour, penned by Steven Moffat and a wonderful double entendre, followed by The Beast Below also by Moffat, while episode 3 will see the return of the Daleks in Mark Gatiss’ Victory of the Daleks. Series Fnarg will begin transmission in Spring 2010.
