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?

This was my thought as well, as it appears set at the end of his life - the description of him being a 'sad and lonely painter' I suppose indicates they are not going to try and be overly revisionist and provide a complete explanation of his suicide to avoid or gloss the 'messy business' of mental illness thats not often dealt with openly enough in tv etc - though it is a family adventure program, so who knows?
