I liked his Doctor Who episode . . . in a timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly sense.

If a novel is written as a novel, it shoudl stay just that, unless a film maker or stage director wants to use it as the basis of a completely different artistic vision as Robert Wilson did with Henrich Muller's "Hamlet Machine". Otherwise the things that determined it being a novel in the first place get thrown out with the bathwater and inevitably it loses its creative lustre. If Gaiman had wanted to write it as a movie or a TV series, presumably he would have done that originally. For me it can only ever be about the money flashed by production companies within the visual arts. Mind you, if someone came along to me with a multi-thousand pound contract, I WOULD think about it. But I'm fairly safe in the knowledge that my novels are unfilmable because they are internal monologues/ streams of consciousness. What I particularly loathe are those authors who write with the film in mind. Their MC acts as though he/she has a camera affixed to the top of their head.
