New Who Episode Title Confirmed

I've been trying to keep away from spoilers about the latest season of Doctor Who for the most part, but the official reveal of the title of the fourth episode is a pretty big giveaway- it's called The Doctor's Wife. That they haven't saved it for nearer the airdate suggests there might be a twist, similar to the cunning ploys played out in The Doctor's Daughter and The Next Doctor, but with Steven Moffat at the helm of the new era of Who I'm sure the true meaning behind the name will be far more complex and exciting than anything found in the aforementioned stories by Russell T Davies. Even more surprising is that Moffat isn't even the man writing this: renowned children's author Neil Gaiman (see The Graveyard Book for a good example of his work) is the man who has penned The Doctor's Wife, and we know (once again officially confirmed, not a spoiler) that there will be some ties to Patrick Troughton story The War Games in the episode- speculating here, Suranne Jones plays Idris in the story, and back in The War Games there was a character called SIDRAT- yeah, I had to do some digging and rewatching for that- coincidence...? Doctor Who returns to the UK on Saturday 23rd April in The Impossible Astronaut, and a full trailer for the season is on its way tomorrow night!
