Doctor Who’s Heaven Sent – the penultimate episode of series 9 – is in competition with Marvel’s Jessica Jones for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form).

This pits Peter Capaldi’s tour de force solo performance against his predecessor David Tennant, who played Kilgrave on the Netflix show. The other nominees in the category are episodes of Supernatural, Grimm and My Little Pony.

The Hugo Awards have once again become the focus of controversy, with block voting allegedly being misused to further various agendas.

The winners of the 2016 Hugo will be announced on Saturday, August 20, at the MidAmeriCon II Hugo Awards Ceremony held in Kansas City, Missouri.
