Vincent Van Gogh Visits the Gallery | Vincent and the Doctor | Doctor Who

-Where are we? -Paris. 2010 AD. And this is the mighty Musée d'Orsay, home to many of the greatest paintings in history. That's wonderful. Ignore that. I've got something more important to show you. Take all your chances while you can You never know when they'll pass you by Like a sum the mathematician cannot solve Like me, trying my hardest to explain It's all about your Cries and kisses Those first steps that I can't calculate... Dr Black, we met a few days ago. I asked you about the church at Auvers. Oh, yes. Glad to be of help. You were nice about my tie. Yes. And today is another cracker, if I may say so, but I just wondered, between you and me, in 100 words... where do you think Van Gogh rates in the history of art? Well... 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, the 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. Vincent. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Is it too much? No. They are tears of joy. Thank you, sir. -Thank you. -You're welcome. You're welcome. Sorry about the beard. It's all about your cries and kisses It's all about you

I think the best part is five minutes later in the episode. They return him to his time and then Pond excitedly goes back to the museum to see what sort of impact they had on his life. And finds that he still died a sad and lonely broken man. The Doctor consoles her and says that even though what they did for Van Gogh was a huge deal, it's not something that would help a lifetime of mental illness and social isolation.

Is it actually pronounced goph?

When I look at Karen Gillan's face now I see Nebula.

Lol that music. I couldn't stop laughing. Why is it that most of the so called "powerful" scenes end up using this kind of emotional rock music. I thought that we got over that in the 90's.

He still has his left ear. So this is him before his psychotic breakdown where he cut it off I suppose.

Can you imagine having even just this fleeting glimpse of the mark you end up making on the world?
