Vincent van Gogh gingerly flirts with Amy Pond while Doc is chased by the space chicken in his godmother’s rearview mirror

Podcast: Play in new window | Embed

The Doctor, trying to fill Amy’s Rory-shaped void by actually doing normal tourist things with his infinity box, takes her to the Musee d’Orsay, where they make a startling discovery.

In Vincent van Gogh’s The Church at Auvers, some malevolent, chicken-shaped, oil-rendered force of evil is lurking in one of the windows. Off they go to screw with history!

Thus, they plop to Auvers, where Vincent gingerly flirts with Amy, The Doctor unearths his godmother’s rearview mirror, and a space chicken kicks the bucket.

Here's what we think of N070 Vincent and The Doctor

We rate Doctor Who stories on a scale from 0.0 to 5.0. For context, very few are excellent enough to merit a 5.0 in our minds, and we'd take a 0.0 Doctor Who story over a lot of other, non-Whovian stuff out there.
