'Doctor Who': Neil Gaiman Ruined This Classic Who Villain With His Episode
Neil Gaiman is arguably the most high-profile writer to ever pen an episode of Doctor Who. Up there with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy’s Douglas Adams, and Richard Curtis of About Time and Love Actually fame, Gaiman is one of the few writers acclaimed before writing for the hit BBC sci-fi show. In fact, the writer treated us with two stories across Matt Smith’s fairytale-like run as the Eleventh Doctor.
With a background in children’s horror, Gaiman was the perfect choice to reinvent the tired foe, who at that point had been rocking the same design for seven seasons. Unfortunately, Gaiman’s Cybermen lacked any of his own creative flare, often dubbed by fans as the ‘Iron Man Cybermen,’ and a brief look at them can tell you why.
Thanks to Doctor Who, Neil Gaiman Became More Involved in Good Omens TV has always been known for its rushed schedules, something that Gaiman quickly learned when writing “Nightmare in Silver.” In an interview with Radio Times, Gaiman admitted, “‘Nightmare in Silver’ is some people’s favorite but everybody, including me, thinks, ‘Oh if we had another week, we could’ve changed this,’ and then you’re kind of stuck with it.
The fantasy-like setting of an abandoned space theme park combined with witty dialogue are trademarks of Gaiman’s signature style. One can only wonder what the result could have been if the rushed writer had been given more time. In this situation, Gaiman seemingly needed the TARDIS even more than the Doctor.
