Neil Gaiman Series 6 Script Extract

articleimage_378 Neil Gaiman has updated his online journal with a small extract of the script for his episode for Series Six of Doctor Who. His script was originally meant for Series Five, but it seems Gaiman may have been too ambitious, as the budget for the overall series would not stretch so far.




 
AMY
___________________Is it something people can eat?
___________________(to Doctor)
___________________Shouldn’t you scan it with your screwdriver or something?

THE DOCTOR
___________________Why would I scan food with my screwdriver?

AMY
___________________See if it’s safe?

The Doctor leans over, dips his finger into his bowl, tastes it.

THE DOCTOR

___________________Some unusual trace elements, smidge too much background
___________________radiation, but, yeah, very yummy.

Amy is about to try some of his food... he stops her.

THE DOCTOR (cont’d)
___________________No. Don’t put it in your mouth.

AMY
___________________Not for humans?

THE DOCTOR

___________________Not for you. Tastes like Marmite on socks.
