* The episode makes numerous direct and indirect references to van Gogh's most famous works, though artistic liberty was taken in regard to their chronology and the locations in which they were painted. While the setting for the episode was ostensibly Auvers-Sur-Oise, the last place of residence and resting place of van Gogh, where he painted ''Church at Auvers'', inspiration for the set decoration of his home and the cafe he frequented (or rather was frequently thrown ''out'' of), came from works he produced while living in Arles several years before (''Bedroom in Arles'', ''Cafe Terrance at Night''). Also, while the episode suggests Amy Pond inspired van Gogh to paint sunflowers, particularly ''Still Life: Vase with Twelve Sunflowers'', which he 'dedicated' to her, they were, in fact, painted in 1887 and 1888. | * The episode makes numerous direct and indirect references to van Gogh's most famous works, though artistic liberty was taken in regard to their chronology and the locations in which they were painted.
