Doctor Who Review - Vincent and the Doctor

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.

I MUST EXPRESS MY RAGE! Okay, I got the box set for christmas, and for the most part it's a pretty good set. (Aside from the stupid 3D gimmick on the cover art) until I got to this episode, and the audio didn't work! It wasn't on any other episodes on the discs, either! It's hard to describe the audio problem, but the best way I can explain it is that is sounds like an old record player. I can't trade it in either. I've tried to go to the set up section too, but nothing there. Help me, MrTARDIS!

@thedocbat I'm afraid you'll just have to try and get a refund from wherever you bought it and get a replacement copy =/ Sorry i can't be more help mate.

[wraithfilms]

he isn't? well watch the entire opening scene again. Just arfter the Doctor shows the psychic paper he mentions his name.

[MrTARDISreviews]

@wraithfilms He says his names, but in the ending credits Bill Nighy isn't there. Literally, Bill Nighy - Doctor Black isn't in the credits for some reason

[wraithfilms]

the man in spoty bow tie is in the credits. he is called doctor black

[MrTARDISreviews]

@wraithfilms I'm afraid you must be mistaken. Bill Nighy/Doctor Black wasn't in the ending credits.

Definitely one of the best new Who episodes produced. It's as you say, got everything. Very funny moments, combined with serious and sometimes moving moments.

The final scenes particularly moved me, it was incredible acting on all 3 cast members, reaction shots were excellent, music was brilliant.

One continuity problem though, and typical lad, I noticed this :P Karen Gillan's legs in some of the church/churchyard scenes. That's all i'll say... haha!

@Strobertat They are only boring if handled the wrong way.

i'm not sure if you do the same in Britain, but in America each graduating senior picks a quote for their last high school yearbook that some up their life so far, and I loved this episode so much, I loved the writing, the art, the characters, that for my senior quote I picked the line Vincent says at the end "Look at the sky, it's not black and without character, the black is in fact deep blue..." I loved that scene so much and it is by far one of the best monologues in DW

[littlemissmello]

just those small things yes. after 'professor black's' supreme monologue  van gogh kisses him on both the cheeks, but he's from holland, so he would have done it three times.

ooooh never mind, i'm such a whiner. AMAZING episode and the monologue AGAIN made me cry

[littlemissmello]

the only thing i really couldn't stand about this episode was something that had really nothing to do with the episode XD Two things

1) they just couldn't prenounce Van Gogh's name right

2) wtf, Musee d'Orsay? Why not just the Van Gogh museum, here in Amsterdam! The biggest Van Gogh collection in the world! I was hoping for a bit of my home town and then I suddenly recognize the musem and the Doctor introduces us to the museum. Pfft. It's my brothers favourite episode though and I like it too!

[svarthjerte]

Thank you. I have been looking for that end clip tonight, and yours seem to be the only one. (The rest is probably removed because of copyright regulations.) Your review is excellent, and I agree, this is one of the best episodes ever. Though I tried my best to be openminded about series five, I was growing more and more disappointed by Moffat's scripts - and then this episode, I forgave everything.

[Mithcoriel]

Yeah, that mirror the doctor uses...I heard that after he regenerated into the second doctor, he looked into the mirror which showed his former self...isn't this the same mirror?

[Mithcoriel]

@SuperNerd707 The alluc website has it.

[bigfatcarp93]

@MrTARDISreviews Celebrity cameos often go uncredited. It's seen as, I don't know, artistic or some shit. I guess you're just supposed to recognize them. :P

[SuperNerd707]

anyone know a link to the actually scene where Vincent, Amy, and the doctor lie down and watch the stars? without any editing or music? like the actual scene from the episode?

[aquagrl63]

This was the first episode of Doctor Who that I ever saw. It's the reason I decided to start watching the show.
