This episode is beloved by the community. I had to join the Patreon to watch this i couldn’t wait a week. I have watched this episode so many times but it still gets me. How Tony Curran who played Vincent isn’t better known is beyond me he gave an outstanding performance.

Possibly my favourite episode from seasons 1-5. Tied with Midnight.

I was going to go to bed and then saw that you posted this episode... "Dammit, I'll be tired tomorrow." It's THE best standalone episode of Doctor Who to me.

Absolutely one of my favourite who episodes, and definitely my favourite Who scene Vincent in the gallery.
Wasn’t sure if you’d see his name in the opening credits but this episode was written by Richard Curtis, writer and director of Notting Hill, Love Actually and About Time.
He wrote this episode for his Sister, “She was a gorgeous and brilliant person, 2 years older than me. She loved Vincent Van Gogh and life. She couldn’t have been more full of generosity and joy.”
"But half way through her life she was hit by depression and intermittently it hurt her for the rest of her life. And a few years before this show, like Vincent, she took her own life."
Curtis also was producer on a Parody episode in the 90’s ‘Curse of Fatal Death’ which is also Moffat’s first writing credit for the show, it’s definitely a fun watch.

One of my top 3 episodes of all new who. The actor who played Vincent absolutely killed it. This episode is both such a nice story for Doctor Who, and an emotional homage to one of the greatest artists who never got the credit he deserved.
