In the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, Exec. Producer Steven Moffat revealed that there would be some shifting of episodes in the next season. The Episode penned by Mark Gatiss is being moved to the second half of the season, while it's slot will be taken up by a script from new writer Steven Thompson. Thompson is new to Doctor Who, but has previously worked with Moffat on Sherlock, writing the script for the episode "The Blind Banker". This will now run as Episode 3, pushing Neil Gaiman's episode into the fourth slot. Moffat said the changes are purely to balance out the look of the season as the production team was worried there was "not enough outside" in the first half.
