     author Neil Gaiman has hinted that he has written an episode of Dr Who, which could appear on TV screens across the country early next year.

    The author, who has recently won a number of literary prizes and has seen the film adaptation of his book Coraline receive an Oscar nomination for the Best Animated Feature Film, says he has been a lifelong fan of Dr Who.
