Talk:Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)

Valeyard???

Where did the rumor about the Valeyard appearing in this episode come from? Has anyone else heard about this?

I believe that was just someone's conclusion from Bill Nighy's appearnace. To me, he appears to be a perfect candidate for being the Valeyard too (and he supposedly plays "the doctor of art"... remember what the Valeyard meant?) But it's still just a speculation, and most likely very false one. 109.243.23.78 13:41, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Reason for suicide

The Van Gogh story is set in Provence, ie historically within the last 2 years of Van Gogh's life prior to him fatally shooting himself after experiencing severe undiagnosed depression / mental illness. During this period he did works for the 'Decoration of the Yellow House', and the Curtis rumour is that in the episode Van Gogh attacks a yellow monster. Any connection? Also, is this hinting at a possible explanation here for contributory factors to his suicide? 86.26.137.154 08:04, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
