Writer Neil Gaiman garnered huge success in the world of Doctor Who when he gave a personality and voice to the TARDIS in the award-winning episode “The Doctor’s Wife”. Now, he’s breathing new life into another of the series’ most famous characters, the Cybermen, in “Nightmare in Silver”, the twelfth and final episode before the season finale.

Doctor Who fans have been excited for over a year, ever since it was announced that Neil Gaiman (American Gods, The Sandman) would be returning to pen a second episode for the series. Initially titled “The Last Cyberman,” it was later changed to “Nightmare in Silver,” but little else was known about the contents of the episode. The BBC finally released a synopsis for the upcoming episode, and it sounds like Who fans should start getting excited.

One of the bright spots over the past two-and-a-half seasons of Doctor Who, was the excitement and anticipation surrounding the news that Neil Gaiman would be penning an episode for the show. Gaiman went on to write The Doctor’s Wife, one of, if not, the most genuinely heart-breaking episodes of the show since former show runner Russell T. Davies, departed in 2010.
