After carrying on a seemingly one-sided conversation with a horse the Preacher called Joshua, the Doctor claimed the beast preferred the name "Susan". He later appeared to carry on a longer conversation with the horse. It is unclear whether such a language actually exists, or if this is just another of the Eleventh Doctor's signature eccentricities. (TV: A Town Called Mercy)
