Rumours

• It is rumoured that either the Ha'rik, the Timoreen or the Skarkish will appear.
• 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.
