Celebrating Van Gogh
The Doctor Who Team
Played by Tony Curran in Vincent and the Doctor
We take a look back at one of the most touching stories from series five in celebration of Vincent Van Gogh's Birthday. Vincent and the Doctor was perhaps the most moving episode of series five. Written by Richard Curtis and beautifully shot in Croatia, as well as in Cardiff, the episode was described by many as a masterpiece, and Tony Curran's portrayal of the great artist and his emotional torment was breathtaking.
As one viewer wrote in to tell us, Vincent and the Doctor 'was an episode that contained all of Doctor Who's key ingredients; a great monster; fun and laughter; high emotions and deep friendship'. Have a look through our clips below and remind yourself what it was you loved about this iconic episode. Plus, can you remember the name of the monster from Vincent and the Doctor?
