    • Trivia
      Bill Nighy was asked to play The Doctor in the revived series but passed saying the role "had too much baggage".
    • Goofs
      Doctor Black says that Van Gogh likely painted the church between 1 and 3 June 1890 "less than a year before, before he killed himself." While this is technically true, Vincent van Gogh actually killed himself the following month.
    • Quotes

      The Doctor: Between you and me, in a hundred words, where do you think Van Gogh rates in the history of art?

      Curator: Well... um... big question, but, to me Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly the most popular, great painter of all time. The most beloved, his command of colour most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world's greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.

    A Doctor Who Tearjerker
    This episode made me weep uncontrollably. I don't care that Tony Curran plays Vincent with his native Scottish accent. He truly embodied the tortured and suffering man that was Vincent Van Gogh. To have two of my favorite things together, Doctor Who and Vincent Van Gogh was just too good to be true but this episode has some very fine acting and some truly touching moments. I really did not want to like Matt Smith given how enamored I was of David Tennant's portrayal of the Doctor, but Matt has won me over. He plays the Doctor like a naughty, but sweet, child and he really is a fine actor. This episode also shines a light on the the fact that Karen Gillan can do something past her goofy, scolding turn as Amy Pond.
