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.
