   I'd mark The Doctor's Wife at at most 8/10 and probably a lot less.   
      
   I know that Neil Gaiman is a professional writer famous for Sandman and   
   many more things, but this story comes across exactly like if a fan were   
   to write a episode and scripted the story well, but used the opportunity   
   to put their own fan ideas into canon rather than to really write an   
   episode of the series as it is.   
      
   Unfortunately, much of the modern Doctor Who has been like that.
