Although I disagree with it needing a kick up that backside, it's been much better than I expected it to be

Sorry Thaed I'm with everyone else.

The worst this series has presented so far is better than average for the last couple years.

But yeah I can't wait to see Gaiman doing Dr Who. Stunt writing ftw (we have Richard Curtis this year).

The new series has managed to convert a few of my previously uninterested friends into Doctor Who obsessives, so it can't be all that bad! Personally I love it, Matt Smith is terrific as the Doctor, and he works amazingly well with Karen Gillan. It's thoroughly enjoyable stuff, and I can't wait to see what Gaiman will do with it!

I love reading Gaiman's novels. He's a literary genius.

Of course, one of the main characters in Gaiman's Sandman series is The Dream King. Now I wonder, will this have anything to do with last week's episode Amy's Choice when a mysterious character appeared to be controlling dreams??

Doctor Who and Sandman together as one. Sounds interesting.

Stephen Fry wrote his but Russel T Davies said it was 'too complex' and said he's use it in the next season but he never did.

Any chance Moffat might be brave enough to show Mr Fry's work beside his own?
