0:00:05 > 0:00:10FOOTSTEPS
0:00:31 > 0:00:35So this is one of the last paintings Van Gogh ever painted.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Those final months of his life were probably the most astonishing artistic outpouring in history.
0:00:41 > 0:00:48It was like Shakespeare knocking off Othello, Macbeth and King Lear over the summer hols.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53And especially astonishing because Van Gogh did it with no hope of praise or reward.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- Thanks for bringing me. - You're welcome.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59You're being so nice to me. Why are you being so nice to me?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- I'm always nice to you. - Not like this.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06These places you're taking me - Arcadia, the Trojan Gardens, now this.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- I think it's suspicious. - There's nothing to be suspicious about.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13OK, I was joking. Why aren't you?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Each of these pictures now is worth tens of millions of pounds.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Yet in his lifetime, he was a commercial disaster.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Sold only one painting, and that to the sister of a friend.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28We have here possibly the greatest artist of all time,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31but when he died, you could have sold his entire body of work
0:01:31 > 0:01:37and got about enough money to buy a sofa and a couple of chairs.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38LAUGHTER
0:01:38 > 0:01:40If you follow me now...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Who is it?- It's the doctor!
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- He was the doctor who took care of Van Gogh when he started to go mad. - I knew that.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Look! There it is, the actual one.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Yes. You can almost feel his hand painting it right in front of you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Carving the colours into shapes...
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Wait a minute.- What?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Well, just look at that.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- What? - Something very not good indeed.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- What thing very not good?- Look there, in the window of the church.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Is it a face?- Yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17And not a nice face at all.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I know evil when I see it and I see it in that window.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25It has changed hands for something in the region of 20...
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Excuse me. If I can just interrupt for one second. Sorry, everyone.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Routine inspection, Ministry of Art and...
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Artiness. So, um...- Dr Black. - Yes, that's right.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Do you know when that picture of the church was painted? - Ah, what an interesting question.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Most people...- When was it?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Exactly?- As exactly as you can.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Without a long speech, if poss. I'm in a hurry.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Well, in that case, probably somewhere between the 1st and 3rd of June.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50- What year?- 1890.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Less than a year before he killed himself.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Thank you, sir. Very helpful indeed.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Nice bow-tie. Bow-ties are cool.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Yours is very...- Oh, thank you.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Keep telling them stuff. We need to go.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- What about the other pictures? - Art can wait. This is life and death.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13We need to talk to Vincent Van Gogh.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52TARDIS WHIRS
0:03:52 > 0:03:54CAT SCREECHES, DOG BARKS
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Right, so here's the plan. We find Vincent and he leads us straight to the church and our nasty friend.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Easy-peasy. - Well, no. I suspect nothing will be easy with Mr Van Gogh.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Now, he'll probably be in the local cafe -
0:04:09 > 0:04:14sort of orangey light, chairs and tables outside.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- Like this?- That's the one.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Or indeed like that.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Yeah, exactly like that.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Good evening.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Does the name Vincent Van Gogh ring a bell?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Don't mention that man to me.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Excuse me.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Do you know Vincent Van Gogh? - Unfortunately.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Unfortunately?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43He's drunk, he's mad and he never pays his bills.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Good painter, though, eh?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Come on! Come on!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53One painting for one drink.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55That's not a bad deal.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59It wouldn't be a bad deal if the painting were any good. I can't hang that up on my walls.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01It'd scare the customers half to death.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04It's bad enough having you in here in person,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08let alone looming over the customers day and night in a stupid hat. You pay money or you get out.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- I'll pay if you like.- What?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Well, if you like. I'll pay for the drink.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Or I'll pay for the painting and you can use the money to pay for the drink.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Exactly who are you?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I'm...new in town.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Well, in that case, you don't know three things.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29One, I pay for my own drinks, thank you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30LAUGHTER
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Two, no-one ever buys any of my paintings or they would be laughed out of town,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38so if you want to stay in town, I suggest you keep your cash to yourself.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43And three, your friend's cute, but you should keep your big nose out of other people's business.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Come on, just one more drink.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- I'll pay tomorrow.- No.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Or, on the other hand, slightly more compassionately, yes.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Or, on the other hand, to protect my business from madmen, no.- Or...?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Oh, look, just shut up, the pair of you!
0:05:59 > 0:06:04I would like a bottle of wine, please, which I will then share with whomever I choose.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06That could be good.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- That's good by me.- Good.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20That accent of yours.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Are you from Holland like me?- Yes. - No.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26She means yes. So, start again.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Hello, I'm the Doctor.- I knew it!
0:06:29 > 0:06:35- Sorry? - My brother's always sending doctors, but you won't be able to help.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37No, not that kind of doctor.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40That's incredible, don't you think, Amy?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Absolutely. One of my favourites. - One of my favourite whats?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- You've never seen my work before. - Ah, yes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50One of my favourite paintings that I've ever seen. Generally.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Then you can't have seen many paintings, then.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I know it's terrible.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's the best I could do.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Your hair is orange.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Yes. So's yours.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Yes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13It was more orange, but now is, of course, less.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18So, Vincent, painted any churches recently?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Any churchy plans? Are churches, chapels, religiousy stuff like that,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25something you'd like to get into? You know, fairly soon?
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Well, there is one church I'm thinking of painting when the weather is right.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31That is very good news.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- WOMAN SCREAMS - She's been murdered!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Help me!- That, on the other hand, isn't quite such good news.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Come on, Amy, Vincent!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44WOMAN SCREAMS
0:07:44 > 0:07:46She's been ripped to shreds!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Please, let me look. I'm a doctor. - Who is it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Oh, no, no, no.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Is she dead?
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Away, all of you vultures! This is my daughter. Giselle.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04What monster could have done this?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Get away from her!- OK, OK.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Get that madman out of here!
0:08:13 > 0:08:17You bring this on us. Your madness! You!
0:08:17 > 0:08:18He's to blame!
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Are you all right?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Yes, I'm used to it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Has anything like this murder happened here before?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Only a week ago. It's a terrible time.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38As I thought, as I thought. Come on, we'd better get you home.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Where are you staying tonight? - Oh, you're very kind.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44AMY LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Dark night, very starry. - It's not much.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I live on my own.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04But you should be OK for one night. ONE night.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- We're going to stay with him? - Until he paints that church.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Watch out. That one's wet.- What?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Sorry about all the clutter.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36- Some clutter.- I've come to accept the only person who's going to love my paintings is me.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Wow.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I mean, really. Wow.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Yeah, I know it's a mess. I'll have a proper clear-out.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I must, I really must.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Coffee, anyone?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Not for me, actually.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08You know, you should be careful with these. They're...precious.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Precious to me. Not precious to anyone else.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13They're precious to me!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Well, you're very kind. And kindness is most welcome.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Right, so, this church, then. Near here, is it?
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- What is it with you and the church? - Oh, just casually interested in it, you know.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Far from casual.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Seems to me. you never talk about anything else.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- He's a strange one. - OK, so let's talk about you.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34What are you interested in?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Look around.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Art.
0:10:37 > 0:10:43It seems to me there's so much more to the world than the average eye is allowed to see.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I believe, if you look hard,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49there are more wonders in this universe
0:10:49 > 0:10:53than you could ever have dreamed of.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54You don't have to tell me.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57It's colour. Colour that holds the key.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I can hear the colours.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Listen to them.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Every time I step outside, I feel nature is shouting at me.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09"Come on. Come and get me. Come on.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12"Come on! Capture my mystery!"
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Maybe you've had enough coffee now.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17How about some nice, calming tea?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Let's get you a cup of camomile or something, shall we? Amy?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Where's Amy? AMY SCREAMS
0:11:23 > 0:11:25No, no. NO!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Amy? Amy?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29What happened?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33I was having a look at the paintings out here when something hit me from behind.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- It's OK. He's gone now and we're here.- No!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Take it easy. Take it easy!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42What's happening? What's he doing?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I don't know. Oh, dear.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Run. Run!
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not a bad idea. Amy, get back. He's having some kind of fit.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00I'll try to calm him down.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Easy, Vincent, easy.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Look, look. It's me, it's me, it's me. It's the Doctor, look.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08No-one else is here. So, Vincent...
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Look out!
0:12:10 > 0:12:14CREATURE ROARS
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I can't see anything. What is it?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19That is a good question.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Let me help you. - You can see him, too?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Yes. Ish.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Well, no. Not really.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29CREATURE ROARS
0:12:29 > 0:12:32You couldn't see him?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34No. Oi!
0:12:34 > 0:12:38DOCTOR ROARS
0:12:40 > 0:12:44CREATURE SCREAMS
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- He's gone.- Oh, right.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Yes, of course.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Right.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- So he's invisible? What did he look like?- I'll show you.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Oh, no, no, no!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- What? - It's just... That was quite a good...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Oh, no.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23On you go.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45OK. OK.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Right. Amy, make Mr Van Gogh comfortable.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Don't let any invisible monsters in through the front door.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55But it could be outside, waiting.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Don't worry, I'll risk it. What's the worst that can happen?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- You could get torn into pieces by a monster you can't see. - Oh, right, yes. That.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Don't worry. I'll be back before you can say, "Where's he got to now?"
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Not that fast!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16But pretty fast.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18See you around.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26SNORTING AND GRUMBLING
0:14:30 > 0:14:33DOCTOR WHISTLES
0:14:52 > 0:14:56FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Right. You in here somewhere? I can't apologise enough.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05I thought you were just a useless gadget. I thought you were just an embarrassing present
0:15:05 > 0:15:10from a dull godmother with two heads and bad breath. Twice.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12How wrong can a man be?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Good.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32OK, you're working.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Now, see what you make of this.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Who is that?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44No, I know it's not that. There are thousands of them and you can see them plain as day.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48No. Definitely not. This is the problem with the impressionists -
0:15:48 > 0:15:49not accurate enough.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54This would never happen with Gainsborough or one of those proper painters.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Sorry, Vincent.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00You'll just have to draw something better.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09That's better, old girl.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Time-delay, but you always get it right in the end. Good.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Let's find out who this is, then.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Whoa, there you are, you poor thing.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20You brutal, murderous,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22abandoned thing.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I hope we meet again soon so I can take you home.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28CREATURE ROARS
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Maybe not that soon.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00CREATURE WAILS
0:17:09 > 0:17:13WAILING AND CLATTERING
0:17:25 > 0:17:31Never do that! You scared the living daylights out of me.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Sorry. I got bored.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36As much as you admire his command of colour and shape,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39it is hard to get fond of Vincent Van Gogh's snoring.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42HE SNORES
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Wake, wakey. Rise and shine!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Breakfast is served in the courtyard.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Whoa! What a morning.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Come on.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57And Amy's got a little surprise for you.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I thought I'd brighten things up to thank you for saving me last night.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Ah!
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I thought you might like, you know,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- possibly to perhaps paint them or something? Might be a thought.- Yes.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09They're not my favourite flower.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- YOU don't like sunflowers? - No, it's not that I don't like them.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I find them complex.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Always somewhere between living and dying.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Half-human as they turn to the sun. A little disgusting.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24But, you know,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26they are a challenge.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29And one I'm pretty sure you will rise to.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31But, moving on, there's something I need to show you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34That's him.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- And the eyes. Without mercy.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42This is a creature called the Krafayis.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44They travel in space, they travel as a pack.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Scavenging across the universe.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Sometimes one of them gets left behind
0:18:48 > 0:18:51and because they are a brutal race, the others never come back.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55so, dotted all around the universe are individual,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59utterly merciless, utterly abandoned Krafayis.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02And what they do is... Well, kill, until they're killed.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Which they usually aren't. Because other creatures can't see them.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- But I can.- Yes. And that's why we are in a unique position today, my friend,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13to end this reign of terror.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15So, feeling like painting the church today?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18What about the monster?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Take my word for it. If you paint it, he will come.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- OK. I'll get my things. - In your own time.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I promise you, we'll be out of your hair by this time tomorrow.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- This is risky.- Riskier than normal?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Well, think about it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46This is the middle of Vincent Van Gogh's greatest year of painting.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48The result of our trip could be
0:19:48 > 0:19:52the brutal murder of the greatest artist who ever lived.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Half the pictures on the wall of the Musee D'Orsay will disappear.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59And it will be our fault.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Vincent? Vincent!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Vincent, can I help?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26It's so clear you cannot help.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29And when you leave, and everyone always leaves,
0:20:29 > 0:20:34I will be left once more with an empty heart and no hope.
0:20:34 > 0:20:42My experience is that there is, you know, surprisingly, always hope.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Then your experience is incomplete.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I know how it will end.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50And it will not end well.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Come on. Come out, let's go outside.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Out!
0:21:01 > 0:21:04You get out.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07What are you doing here? What are you doing here?
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Very well. I'll leave. I'll leave you.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15VINCENT SOBS
0:21:15 > 0:21:18What's happening?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20We're leaving.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Everyone knows he's a delicate man.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28Just months from now he'll... he'll take his own life.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Don't say that. Please.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Come on. We have to do this on our own.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Go to the church at the right time and hope the monster still turns up.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm ready. Let's go.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- I'm sorry you're so sad. - But I'm not.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Sometimes these moods torture me for weeks, for months.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13But I'm good now.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17If Amy Pond can soldier on, then so can Vincent Van Gogh.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I'm not soldiering on. I'm fine.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Oh, Amy.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I hear the song of your sadness.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27You've lost someone, I think.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I'm not sad.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32They why are you crying?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38It's all right. I understand.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'm not sure I do.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43OK. OK!
0:22:43 > 0:22:46So, now, we must have a plan. When the creature returns...
0:22:46 > 0:22:52- Then we shall fight him again. - Well, yes, tick.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53But last night we were lucky.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Amy could have been killed.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57So this time, for a start,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59we have to make sure I can see him, too.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02And how are we meant to do that, suddenly?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06The answer's in this box. I had an excellent, if smelly, godmother.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Oh, no. It's that poor girl from he village.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36You do have a plan? Don't you?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39No.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It's a thing - it's like a plan, but with more greatness.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54And you'll be sure to tell me if you see any, you know, monsters.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Yes. While I may be mad, I'm not stupid.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01No, quite.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03And, to be honest...
0:24:05 > 0:24:07..not sure about mad either.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11It seems to me depression is a very complex...
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Shh.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'm working.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Well, yes. Paint.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Do painting!
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I remember watching Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Wow! What a whinger.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34I said to him, "If you're scared of heights, you shouldn't have taken the job."
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Shh!
0:24:35 > 0:24:39And Picasso. What a ghastly old goat.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44I kept telling him, "Concentrate, Pablo, it's one eye,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- "either side of the face."- Quiet.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Is this how time normally passes?
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Really slowly.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57In the right order.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03If there's one thing I can't stand, it's an unpunctual alien attack.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Are you OK? You seem a bit,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08if I didn't know better, I'd say nervous.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11There's something not right and I can't quite put my finger on it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15There. He's at the window.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Where?- There, on the right.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21As I thought. Come on. I'm going in.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Well, I'm coming, too.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27No. You're Vincent Van Gogh.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29No.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31But you're not armed.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32- I am.- What with?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Overconfidence, this and a small screwdriver. I'm sorted.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Just have to find the right crosactic setting, and stun him with it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Sonic never fails. Anyway, Amy, only one thought,
0:25:42 > 0:25:48one simple instruction - don't follow me under any circumstances.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I won't.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Will you follow him?- Of course.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00I love you.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57LOW GROWLING
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Has he moved?- No. Just shifted to the next window.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27But, wait!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29He's turning now.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Damn. He's moved.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Aaagh!
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Doctor!- Amy!
0:27:52 > 0:27:54KRAFAYIS GROWLS
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Doctor!- Argh! I thought I told you...
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Never mind. We'll talk about it later. Quick. In here.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09FOOTSTEPS THUD
0:28:09 > 0:28:12(Absolutely quiet.)
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Can you breathe a little quieter, please?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23No!
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- He's gone past.- Shh.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44KRAFAYIS GROWLS LOUDLY
0:28:44 > 0:28:45AMY SCREAMS
0:28:45 > 0:28:47I think he heard us.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50That is impressive hearing he's got.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51GROWLING
0:28:52 > 0:28:55What's less impressive are our chances of survival.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56AMY SCREAMS
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Hey, are you looking for me, sonny?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Come on. Over here.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Because I'm right here waiting for you.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Come on. Quickly! Get behind me.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17SCREWDRIVER WHIRS
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Doing anything?
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- Where is he?- Where do you think he is, you idiot? Use your head.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32- Anything?- Nothing. In fact, he seemed to rather enjoy it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- Ooh.- Duck. Left.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- Right, sorry.- Agh!
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Your right, my left.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45This is no good at all. Run like crazy and regroup.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Oh, come on, in here.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Right. OK.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Here's the plan. Amy, Rory.- Who?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Sorry, um, Vincent.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- What is the plan? - I don't know, actually.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13But in future, I'm just using this screwdriver for screwing in screws.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Give me a second. I'll be back.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- I suppose we could try talking to him.- Talking to him?!
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Well, yes. Might be interesting to know his side of the story.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Yes, though maybe he's not really in the mood for conversation
0:30:26 > 0:30:28right at this precise moment.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30BANGING, GROWLING
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Well, no harm trying. Listen. Listen!
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I know you can understand me.
0:30:39 > 0:30:45Even though I know you won't understand why you can understand me.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48I also know that no-one's talked to you for a pretty long stretch,
0:30:48 > 0:30:50but please...listen.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I also don't belong on this planet.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00I also am alone.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05If you trust me, I'm sure we can come to some kind of,
0:31:05 > 0:31:06you know, understanding.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10And then, and then, who knows?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12CRASH!
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Over here, mate!
0:31:24 > 0:31:26What's it up to now?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29It's moving round the room. Feeling its way around.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- What?- It's like it's trapped.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37It's moving round the edges of the room.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40I can't see a thing.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I am really stupid.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Oh, get a grip! This is not a moment to re-evaluate your self-esteem.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53No, I am really stupid and I'm growing old.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Why does it attack, but never eat its victims?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58And why was it abandoned by its pack and left here to die?
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Why is it feeling its way helplessly around the walls of the room?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06It can't see, it's blind.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08That explains why it has such perfect hearing!
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Which unfortunately also explains why it is now
0:32:11 > 0:32:13turning around and heading straight for us.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Vincent. Vincent, what's happening?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18It's charging now. Get back. Get back!
0:32:25 > 0:32:26SQUELCHING
0:32:30 > 0:32:34KRAFAYIS WAILS
0:32:38 > 0:32:40He wasn't without mercy at all.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42He was without sight.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45I didn't mean that to happen.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I only meant to wound it, I never meant to...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52He's trying to say something.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55What is it?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59I'm having trouble making it out. but I think he's saying,
0:32:59 > 0:33:02"I'm afraid. I'm afraid."
0:33:07 > 0:33:09There, there.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14It's OK. You'll be fine. Ssh.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20DOCTOR SIGHS
0:33:25 > 0:33:28He was frightened.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29And he lashed out.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34Like humans, who lash out when they're frightened.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Like the villagers who scream at me.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Like the children who throw stones at me.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Sometimes winning - winning is no fun at all.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Hold my hand, Doctor.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Try to see what I see.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16We are so lucky we are still alive to see this beautiful world.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Look at the sky.
0:34:18 > 0:34:23It's not dark and black and without character.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25The black is in fact deep blue.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28And over there, lighter blue.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31And blowing through the blueness and the blackness,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33the wind swirling through the air and then,
0:34:33 > 0:34:37shining, burning, bursting through - the stars!
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Can you see how they roar their light?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Everywhere we look,
0:34:43 > 0:34:48the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53I've seen many things, my friend.
0:34:53 > 0:35:01But you're right. Nothing quite as wonderful as the things you see.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11I will miss you terribly.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28I only wish I had something of real value to give you.
0:35:30 > 0:35:36Oh, no, no. I could never accept such an extraordinary gift.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Very well.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40You are not the first to decline the offer.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Amy, the blessed, the wonderful.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Be good to yourself and be kind to yourself.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I'll try my best.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53And maybe give the beard a little trim before you next kiss someone.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56I will. I will.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58And if you tire of this Doctor of yours, return.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- And we will have children by the dozen.- Eek!
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Doctor, my friend.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08We have fought monsters together and we have won.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12On my own, I fear I may not do as well.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32I was thinking I may need some food before we leave.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Well, no, you're not thinking exactly what I'm thinking.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Vincent!
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Got something I'd like to show you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Maybe just tidy yourself up a bit first.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Now, you know we've had quite a few chats about the possibility
0:36:52 > 0:36:55there might be more to life than normal people imagine?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Yes.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Well, brace yourself, Vinny.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31How come I'm the crazy one,
0:37:31 > 0:37:34and you two have stayed sane?
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- What do these things all do? - Oh, a huge variety of things.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46This one here, for instance, plays soothing music.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48MUSIC PLAYS
0:37:48 > 0:37:52While this one makes a huge amount of noise.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54DISTORTED SOUND
0:37:54 > 0:37:57And this one makes everything go tonto.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06And this one?
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- That's a friction contrafibulator! - And this?- That's ketchup.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13And that one's mustard.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Mmm. Nice!
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Come on. Back to the cafe, and you can tell me
0:38:18 > 0:38:20about all the wonders of the universe.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Good idea. Although, actually,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25there's a little something I'd like to show you first.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Where are we?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Paris. 2010 AD.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36And this is the mighty Musee D'Orsay.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Home to many of the greatest paintings in history.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Oh, that's wonderful.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Ignore that.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46I've got something more important to show you.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51# Take all your chances while you can
0:38:54 > 0:39:00# You never know when they'll pass you by
0:39:03 > 0:39:09# Like a sum the mathematician cannot solve
0:39:11 > 0:39:18# Like me trying my hardest to explain
0:39:36 > 0:39:44# It's all about your cries and kisses
0:39:44 > 0:39:49# Those first steps that
0:39:49 > 0:39:54# I can't calculate... #
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Dr Black, we met a few days ago.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00I asked you about the church at Auvers.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Oh, yes. Glad to be of help. >
0:40:02 > 0:40:04You were nice about my tie.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Yes. And today is another cracker, if I may say so.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11But I just wondered, between you and me, in 100 words,
0:40:11 > 0:40:16where do you think Van Gogh rates in the history of art?
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Well, big question.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24But, to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all.
0:40:24 > 0:40:30Certainly, the most popular, great painter of all time,
0:40:30 > 0:40:31the most beloved.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34His command of colour the most magnificent.
0:40:34 > 0:40:41He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain
0:40:45 > 0:40:50to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world -
0:40:50 > 0:40:52no-one had ever done it before.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Perhaps no-one ever will again.
0:40:55 > 0:41:02To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence
0:41:02 > 0:41:05was not only the world's greatest artist,
0:41:05 > 0:41:10but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Vincent. I'm sorry.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16I'm sorry. Is it too much?
0:41:17 > 0:41:21No. They are tears of joy.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Thank you, sir. Thank you.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30You're welcome. You're welcome.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Sorry about the beard.
0:41:33 > 0:41:41# It's all about your cries and kisses
0:41:41 > 0:41:45# It's all about you. #
0:41:51 > 0:41:52This changes everything.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56I'll step out tomorrow with my easel on my back a different man.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58I still can't believe that one of the haystacks
0:41:58 > 0:42:00was in the museum. How embarrassing.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03It's been a great adventure and a great honour.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06You've turned out to be the first doctor
0:42:06 > 0:42:09ever actually to make a difference to my life.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11I'm delighted. I won't ever forget you.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17- And you are sure marriage is out of the question?- This time.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21I'm not really the marrying kind.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Come on. Let's go back to the gallery right now.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56Time can be re-written. I know it can. Come on!
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Oh, the long life of Vincent Van Gogh.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- There'll be hundreds of new paintings.- I'm not sure there will.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Come on!
0:43:17 > 0:43:21We have here the last work of Vincent Van Gogh,
0:43:21 > 0:43:24who committed suicide at only 37.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28He is now acknowledged to be one of the foremost artists of all time.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30If you follow me now...
0:43:34 > 0:43:37So, you were right. No new paintings.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42We didn't make a difference at all.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45I wouldn't say that.
0:43:45 > 0:43:50The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53Hey.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55The good things
0:43:55 > 0:43:58don't always soften the bad things.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01But, vice versa - the bad things don't necessarily
0:44:01 > 0:44:03spoil the good things or make them unimportant.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09And we definitely added to his pile of good things.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12And if you look carefully...
0:44:14 > 0:44:18..maybe we did indeed make a couple of little changes.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23No Krafayis.
0:44:23 > 0:44:24No Krafayis.
0:45:04 > 0:45:08If we had got married, our kids would have had very, very red hair.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12The ultimate ginger.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16The ultimate ginge.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23Brighter than sunflowers.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41Hello? I need your help. There's been an accident.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47CRASH What is he doing up there?
0:45:47 > 0:45:50- Have you put the advert up yet? - I did it today. Paper shop window.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53- Find me a man.- Yeah, otherwise you'll have to settle for me.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55You'll have to settle for me first.
