Gaiman describes his take on the Cybermen: “I can tell you that there are Cybermen in it. It will be a stand-alone
episode, I don’t know if it will be number twelve or thirteen. It will
be the series’ penultimate episode. But it has a beginning, a middle and
an end… Steven [Moffat] wrote to me and asked if I wanted to make the
Cybermen scary again. I thought back to myself at the age of six or
seven, The Moonbase, Tomb of the Cybermen… I saw them when they were
first broadcast. The Cybermen were much scarier than the Daleks, because
they didn’t make any noise. The Daleks moved around all over the place
shouting “Exterminate”, etc. With the Cybermen, it’s different. You turn
around and bam! There they are. It’s scary. I told him that I was going
to take the Cybermen from the sixties […] and see what I could do. I
don’t know if it’s going to work, we’ll see.”

An actor left a copy of the script in a cab and someone found it. They put it on Reddit and fans convinced them to give it back to BBC studios.

Transformers 4

“The movie is going to continue 4 years on from the attack on Chicago which was in the last movie. So it s going still to have the same lineage but going in a full, new, different direction and it actually feels really natural how it is going in that direction.” – Michael Bay
