Not giving a spoiler here but the scene with the sky near the end was perfect, totally unexpected but a fantastic tribute to the artist. |

It made me cry. A lovely episode and the script and the settings were as good as anything ever seen in a science fiction TV series.
Brilliant. Totally brilliant.
Anyone who has not seen it yet - fire up the I PLAYER or catch it on BBC 3 tomorrow night - you wont regret it even if you are not a Dr Who fan. |

Loved it, probably one of the best episodes of the entire return of Doctor Who. A story beautifully written by Richard Curtis, with no 'ear' joke in sight. Tony Curran was remarkable as Vincent and in 45 minutes the episode simply told. The monster of the week, so many connotations with the monsters in the mind of the artist, was secondary to the real battle that brings it closer to home - the one against depression - something many people, me included, are dealing with every single bloody day. Nice touch by the BBC to give the Action Line number a plug at the end. Doctor Who and real issues, who'd have thought it. |

Mind you, I am a raving Van Gogh fan but I thought they did it beautifully. |
