Vincent and the Doctor[1] is the tenth episode of Series 5.

Synopsis

During a visit to an art gallery with Amy, the Doctor's interest is caught by the painting The Church at Auvers by Vincent van Gogh: there's a face in the window of the church – a curious, shadowed creepy face with nasty eyes. The Doctor is worried; he's sure he has seen the face somewhere before, but how? There is only one thing for it: a trip in the TARDIS back to 1888, so the Doctor can find out from the artist himself.[2]

Story Notes

  • The episode was incorrectly entitled, Lend Me Your Ear.[source needed]
  • There is a cirque poster which burns off of the TARDIS in one scene, and the Doctor takes Vincent van Gogh to Paris 2010. [1]
  • One of the aliens has a werewolf-like claw and one has a dinosaur like tail. It is unknown if it is the same creature.

Filming Locations

  • National Museum of Wales [2]
  • Trogir, Croatia [3]
  • Roald Dahl Plass [4], which is supposed to double for the Musee D'Orsay in Paris

Rumours

  • It is rumoured that either the Timoreen, the Ha'rik or the Skarkish will appear. Or possibly all three.
  • It is rumoured that Vincent Van Gogh will stab a yellow monster.
  • Howard Lee plays a character called "Dr. Gachet" [5]. Dr. Gachet was Van Gogh's real doctor, who nursed him during his final years.
  • Nighy plays a Van Gogh expert, with similar fashion tastes to The Doctor himself. [6]
  • Steven Moffat stated in a recent interview that the controversial topic of the regeneration limit for Time Lords will be "addressed in a very, very cheeky way by an old friend of mine" at some point in Series 5. [7] As the "old friend" could very well be Richard Curtis, the issue might be addressed in this episode.
