If you’re a fan of Doctor Who and have a soft spot in your heart for the writing of Neil Gaiman, then today is your lucky day as Mr. Gaiman has confirmed that he has indeed written a script for the popular British TV series.

The script is titled The House of Nothing and is slated to air in 2011.

During his acceptance speech for best comic at the SFX Awards, Gaiman said: “As anyone who’s read my blog knows, I’m a big fan of a certain long-running British TV series. One that I started watching – from behind the sofa – when I was three.

“And while I know it’s cruel to make you wait for things, in about 14 months from now – which is to say, not in the upcoming season but early in the one after that – it’s quite possible that I might have written an episode.

“And if I had, it would originally have been called ‘The House of Nothing’. But it definitely isn’t called that any more.”

A spokesman for Doctor Who would not confirm Gaiman’s announcement.

The next series of the show, starring Matt Smith as the 11th Time Lord, is due to air in the spring.

If you happen to have an iPhone or iTouch and find yourself bored out of your mind, then point Safari towards M.NBC.COM and you’ll find a few episodes of various NBC shows available for streaming. Quality is very high, though the selection pales when compared to Hulu, which has yet to make an appearance as an app for iPhone.

Episodes from shows such as 30 Rock, Battlestar Galactica, Chuck, Friday Night Lights, ER and other are constantly updated.

I’m going to try and get through this post without bashing George Lucas.  While I may not be a fan of the last three movies or the more recent cartoon show, I don’t begrudge Lucas for one simple reason: this is his creation, his characters, his business. We, as fans, simply watch. Unfortunately, a massive amount of people think they live under some entitlement program when it comes to Lucas, as if somewhere along the line, Lucas lost control of his empire and was supposed to put the fans in charge.

I bring all this up as word is leaking out that auditions and casting are currently underway for the long-planned live-action television show. This new show will focus on minor characters from the epic, set in a time period between Episode III and Episode IV, the original Star Wars movie.

Good luck George, I hope you produce something that ingratiates you with fans of your universe.
