These are great. BBC America has released two videos that promote two different shows, while both promote a third, our beloved Doctor Who. Britons are cool. The first video was with the Nerdist crew, in support of the upcoming Nerdist Year in Review special, talking about their favorite Doctor Who moments from season 6. This second featurette is with author Neil Gaiman, who wrote the Sandman graphic novel, The Graveyard Book (the audio version that he narrates is not to be missed), Coraline, American Gods, and my favorite-ever episode of Doctor Who, “The Doctor’s Wife”, and many more.

He will be appearing on the upcoming special jointly produced by BBC America and National Public Radio, “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! A Royal Pain in the News” based on the excellent and hilarious weekly NPR news radio program “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me”. He’ll be guesting in the “Not My Job” segment.

But here he is talking about his episode of Doctor Who, as well as his other favorite moments from Doctor Who season 6:
