Steven Moffat Says Neil Gaiman Episode Is Mad

Steven Moffatt has said that upcoming Neil Gaiman's episode is both mad and magical.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said that he would not reveal what will happen but promised fans that they will not be disappointed when it does air.

Thanks to Digital Spy for the interview below:

"It's called 'The Doctor's Wife'. I can't say very much actually because the whole gimmick behind that show - and it's a very clever gimmick - will be unveiled in the opening minutes," he explained.

"I literally can't talk about it without giving it away, which I don't want to do. It's a lovely, magical, mad episode."

Asked if he felt that Gaiman struggled to adapt to Doctor Who's unique scripts, Moffat answered: "He would bring his own estimate of that. I think everybody - and I don't think Neil would argue with this - everybody who comes onto the show gets a fright at just how difficult it is.

"You assume you know it, until you try to write it. Then you realise it really is a monster. I've written an awful lot of them now and I still find it shockingly difficult. I think everyone who comes on has that moment of 'I didn't think I'd be working this hard'."
