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.File:Alien art.jpgA Purple monster
- Richard Curtis had said the monster was yellow but from the trailer it appears to be a different colour. This could have been a change by the production team or Curtis himself. Or there are two monsters in the story.

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. All of these monsters could be in it because in the trailer one monster is grey but in the painting the monsters purple and Richard curtis said the monster would be yellow.
- 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.
