It's tough to argue that the BBC gave Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat's limited series Dracula a definitive ending when you're talking about a character who has a habit of coming back to life Which raises the obvious question about the three-episode series: so when are we getting a second season?

Showrunner Steven Moffat also took advantage of his eccentricity to deliver an almost endless series of oddball speeches throughout his run.
