Gaiman talks Who
“I don’t know what it’s like to be God – obviously. Until that very first moment when you get to sit down and type the words in your script: INTERIOR. TARDIS.” He told BBC Entertainment News: “Suddenly I got a very good idea of what it must feel like. I went: ‘I’m writing it now this scene in the Tardis. I’m writing it!’ And that was amazing, it was wonderful.”
The article says that Gaiman had a script read-through last week and that filming will begin in just a few months.
“It’s going to be shooting in August and we were going through it and figuring out ways that money could be saved and ways we could have some things happen faster. It was a little bit flabby.”
Gaiman also had something to say about Terry Pratchett’s view that Doctor Who shouldn’t be “classified as science fiction”.
“Doctor Who has never pretended to be hard science fiction. At best Doctor Who is a fairytale, with fairytale logic about this wonderful man in this big blue box who at the beginning of every story lands somewhere where there is a problem…”
Gaiman unfortunately doesn’t reveal any details about his episode, but we know the story was originally called, The House of Nothing.
