"Hold my hand, Doctor. Try to see what I see. We're so lucky we're still alive to see this beautiful world. Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is in fact deep blue. And over there! Lighter blue. And blowing through the blueness and the blackness, the winds swirling through the air. And there, shining, burning, bursting through, the stars! Can you see how they roar their light? Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes."
"I’ve seen many things, my friend, but you’re right -- nothing’s quite as wonderful as the things you see."
-- Vincent van Gogh and the Eleventh Doctor, Doctor Who: "Vincent and the Doctor"
Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we're joined by special guest companions DJ Nik and Martha Southgate to discuss "Vincent and the Doctor", the tenth episode from Doctor Who Series Five in 2010, featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, Tony Curran as Vincent van Gogh, and Bill Nighy as Dr. Henry Black!
In this episode, Jesse, Nik, Martha and I discuss things like Martha making her Next Stop Everywhere debut, "Vincent and the Doctor" being Martha's introduction to Doctor Who, Martha's favorite Doctors, Nik correcting us on the proper pronunciation of van Gogh, the Seventh Doctor correcting Ace on the pronunciation, writer Richard Curtis and The Curse of Fatal Death, Tony Curran on Defiance, Bill Nighy as Slartibartfast in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie, Vincent's reaction to going to the future and learning his paintings are revered around the world, Amy being surrounded by sunflowers, Vincent's mental illness fueling his creativity, Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, the Krafayis being a metaphor for Vincent being a social outcast, the Krafayis being a sad and tragic creature instead of a true Doctor Who monster, Nik wanting Don McLean's song "Vincent" in the episode, Bill Nighy being uncredited, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Paul from Australia, Holly Mac and David K. Proctor, Martha doing fifty brave things, Nik and Lee Leonard watching the Twin Peaks pilot, Jesse and I doing our first commentary episode, and more!
