This might be old news, so my apologies if I missed it.
Neil Gaiman, who has a rather delicious back catalogue of graphic novels and comics under his belt, ranging from the brilliant and dreamy Sandman to the high profile comic heroes such as Batman, has been confirmed as writing episode three, series 6 of BBC drama Doctor Who.
Episode three, rumored to be titled 'The House of Nothing' was described as being 'very spooky' and that fans 'are likely to be biting their nails off by the end' by Gaiman recently on BBC Breakfast News.
On another note, I have over heard that Amy Pond might not make it through to the end of the series. I am personally not convinced by this rumor - although I can't see the rather lovely Amy remaining in the TARDIS for another series after this, but you never know. Another rumor circulating is the series will be split into two, six episodes then a break, followed by seven episodes. We shall see...
No news regarding the Christmas special, although Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol' has been mentioned here and there. Maybe another encounter with Mr Dickens and events that would inspire him to write the book?

Very well, where should I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. A sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. If I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fifteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shaven scrotum.
