Steven Moffat's newest creation is on ITV in the UK next week:

I'm looking forward to this (as ever with anything that the Moff
writes!) - hoping for typical Moff cleverness and humour.
There's a small mention of PG in the article - Steven's regret about the
lack of gay characters. With hindsight, the imposition of a
heteronormative love life on every key character at some point in the
show feels clumsy in today's world, but would including some gay
representation more than 30 years ago have felt token? I don't think so
but interested in what others think.
Matt.
