First of all, the accent thing. Yes, Vincent speaks with a Scottish accent. This is the Tardis translating his French to English for Amy's ears. She is Scottish, so, she hears a Scottish accent. This is addressed early on when Vincent asks Amy if she is Dutch because she speaks French with a Dutch accent. Vincent will also be speaking French with his Dutch accent. If you listen to the restaurant staff, they speak with a rural English (South Wests England). They are rural French people, so the Tardis translates to a rural English accent.
I loved this episode because it brings together to loves of my life - Doctor Who and Vincent Van Gogh. Vincent is played brilliantly by Tony Curran. I loved the some what corny scenes where they re-crated some of Van Gogh's most famous paintings - it had to be done. Vincent's mental ill health was addressed sensitively and the scene in the gallery at the end is something I wish could happen in real life to Vincent.
