Vincent And The Doctor

[poliphilo]

We'd all like to do that for Vincent, wouldn't we!

I rate episodes of Dr Who by the degree to which they move me. This one moved me to tears- and goes straight into my top ten.

Tony Curran- lovely. And what a deft touch to have Scottish= Dutch.

Bill Nighy- clever casting.

Loved the chicken monster.

Just one criticism: that churchyard- with its yew trees and 18th century box tombs- could only be English/Welsh.

I'm particularly fond of the episode featuring Mme de Pompadour.

Yeah. I enjoyed that one. But Curse of Fenric from the old days still remains one of my favourites...

Yes, that's a classic. I remember watching it with my sons.

I've always thought the McCoy era was undervalued.
