Neil Gaiman did "cool, evil things" to tonight's Doctor Who

If you're a Who fan, you've been anticipating tonight's episode. If you're a casual viewer who feels a little lost trying to jump into a decades-old narrative, then tonight's episode guest-written by author Neil Gaiman is an opportunity to get reacquainted as it will no doubt be a somewhat stand-alone story.

Neil Gaiman: 'I did cool, evil things to Doctor Who'

By Chris Harvey 7:15AM BST 14 May 2011

Author Neil Gaiman has been having ideas for Doctor Who adventures since he was six. Now, at the age of 50, the celebrated comic book writer, novelist and screenwriter has finally written an episode. The Doctor�s Wife, originally slated to be shot for the previous series, airs tonight. Set beyond the fringe of the universe, on a junkyard planet, it has been described by series show-runner Steven Moffat as �several degrees madder even than a normal Doctor Who story�.

The Doctor's Wife" airs on BBC-America tonight at 9/8c.

Craig Ferguson explains Doctor Who in song and dance:

♫One thing is consistent though and this is why the show is so beloved by geeks and nerds.♫
♫It�s all about the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism.♫

3. Spooky music and everything! Too bad I don't have cable and can't get it online, either.

It looks like they've taken the special effects budget to where it's never been before.
