Once again, Doctor Who has received a Hugo Awards nomination, and once again, the episode in question has been written by Steven Moffat!

The “serious” sci-fi and fantasy awards are nominated and awarded annually, and in previous years episodes such as Blink and The Girl in the Fireplace. Other Doctor Who winners over the years have included Neil Gaiman’s The Doctor’s Wife and Russell T Davies and Phil Fords’ The Waters of Mars. On each occasion the competition was strong, but this time around, the nominated episode, Listen, is up against episodes from The Flash, Game of Thrones, Grimm and Orphan Black.
