SFX's teasers for VINCENT AND THE DOCTOR


1 In some ways it’s the most unusual Doctor Who ever episode ever – never has the show been less plot-lead and more character-led
--- --- ---
2 It’s very, very emotional at times
--- --- ---
3 Anyone expecting an out-and-out comedy from Richard Curtis will be surprised. This is about Van Gogh – it doesn’t shy away from d...epression and suicide. If anything, the episode is quite melancholy
--- --- ---
4 The opening scene is a blinder
--- --- ---
5 An ongoing gag about the TARDIS’s abilities won’t make any sense to people who don’t know the show inside-out
--- --- ---
6 Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
--- --- ---
7 There’s a glorious visual reference to the painting “Starry Night”
--- --- ---
8 The Doctor makes a slip of the tongue
--- --- ---
9 There’s some mutual sartorial appreciation going on
--- --- ---
10 There’s a major story element that some will decry as a massive plot hole and others will embrace on a metaphorical level
--- --- ---
11 The TARDIS is redecorated
--- --- ---
12 Two former Doctors make an unexpected appearance (for one of them it’s their third appearance this year)
--- --- ---
